Description provided by ecoplanet

What We Are Building

At ecoplanet, we're building the operating system for the energy transition. Our AI-powered platform turns energy management from a cost center into a competitive advantage for European manufacturers — saving energy costs and unlocking operational efficiency. Backed by EQT Ventures, HV Capital and more, and built by a team full of top-tier talent. We're scaling our GTM engine — and we need someone to work directly alongside our founder to make sure the systems behind it actually work.

Why This Role Matters

As Founders Associate, you're the systems brain behind our growth function, working hand-in-hand with our founder Henry to build a highly efficient, AI-leveraged setup.

What You’ll Achieve

Working directly with Henry, you'll build and run core projects in our growth organization:

  • Growth engine: build and operate our AI-driven growth function — from demand generation to events
  • AI, automation & analytics: improve the GTM stack and analytics by leveraging AI tools
  • Content & PR: own how we show up externally, from content to press

The focus is on building these pillars and making them run — not on executing isolated tasks. You will have full ownership.

What Sets You Up For Success

Must-haves

  • Strong organizational skills and a high degree of ownership
  • Excitement about using AI and automation to multiply your impact
  • Structured, systems-oriented thinking, you are numbers driven
  • Excellent German (C1+) and strong English skills

You'll thrive in this role if...

  • You enjoy figuring things out independently
  • You like building systems instead of doing repetitive manual work
  • You see AI as a force multiplier
  • You want to take ownership and have an outsized impact early in your career

What You Get

  • Competitive compensation: attractive salary
  • Real ownership: Work directly with the founder on our most pressing challenges
  • A solid foundation: the tech stack is already in place (HubSpot, Webflow, N8N) — you build on it, not from scratch

The Application

We don't do long forms. We don't do generic cover letters. Send us your CV and tell us why this role excites you.

Working student essentials

What this Operations working student role in Munich means for you — the weekly-hours rules, social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
