Take a front-row seat at MicroHarvest, where we're unlocking the power of nature's tiniest organisms to feed a growing planet. As a Founders' Associate, you'll partner directly with our founding team, turning bold ideas into tangible impact across finance, operations, partnerships, and growth. You'll help steer a mission-driven, venture-backed company that's setting new benchmarks for sustainable protein, while gaining a panoramic view of what it takes to build an industry-shaping biotech startup from the inside out. If you're excited to blend strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and to leave the world noticeably better than you found it, we'd love to meet you.

Tasks

• Collaborate directly with the founding team to identify, prioritize, and execute key business objectives and strategic projects.
• Support our C-level team in preparing our next fundraising round - from the pitch to the finalization of contracts.
• Provide conceptual support in the further development of our controlling and management systems.
• Lead our operational expansion projects: building out our supplier network and capacity planning.
• Continuously enhance internal workflows to boost efficiency, and implement systems that support consistent productivity and collaboration.
  
  

Requirements

• A degree in business administration, finance, or a related field.
• Professional experience in a fast-growing startup, VC or a top-tier consultancy.
• Exceptional organizational and project management skills, reliability, and a structured working style, enabling you to keep multiple projects on track, coordinate diverse stakeholders, and deliver outstanding results.
• Enjoyment of working with data, and strong PowerPoint and Excel skills.
• An independent, hands-on way of working.
• Enthusiasm for sustainability and innovation, and a passion for contributing to positive impact on global food systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and German.
• Ideally based in Hamburg or the surrounding area – alternatively location in our Lisbon office or remote possible.
