Co-Founder & CEO

Germany

acemate is building the leading AI learning & teaching platform for higher education institutions. We have strong traction, secured funding and are entering an exciting growth phase. We’re now looking for an entrepreneurial generalist to join us as **Founder’s Associate** and help accelerate our growth.

**About acemate**

Founded less than a year ago, acemate has quickly become Germany's leading AI learning platform for universities, trusted by top-tier institutions across three countries, including **TU Munich**, **WHU** and the **Deutsche Industrie- und Handelskammer (DIHK)**.

*   **Our Mission:** Democratizing access to personalized learning. We don’t believe that AI will replace educators. Instead, we empower them to design and deliver personalized learning experiences at scale.
*   **Our Growth:** We've raised pre-seed funding and are growing rapidly. While we focus on higher education today, we're already expanding into new regions and markets.
*   **Our Culture:** We’re a young, driven team passionate about tackling the toughest challenges in education. We embrace builder culture and minimize scheduled meetings for ad-hoc discussions and maximized focus on coding and creating.

**Meet the Team**

*   [**Antong**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antongyin/) **(CEO):** BCG, BMW & Antler background, leads business strategy, DJ by night
*   [**Jan**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan-tiegges/) **(CTO):** NLP research, experience from SAP & N26, morning bike commuter
*   [**Paul**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulstefanherman/) **(CPO):** Product expert with startup and education research background, devoted dog dad

*   [**Anas**](https://www.linkedin.com/in/muhammadanasafzal/) **(Fullstack):** TypeScript specialist, functional programming enthusiast, chief photography officer

We have an office in Berlin and believe in the value of in-person work, but we’re also realistic about the time people spend commuting.

## Tasks

**What You'll Do**

As **Founder’s Associate**, you’ll work directly with Antong (CEO) and Paul (CPO) on high-impact topics across strategy, sales, marketing, product, operations and growth. Your scope will evolve quickly, and you’ll own strategic and operational initiatives from day one.

**Tasks:**

*   **Drive strategic initiatives:** from market expansion and pricing to new partnerships and product launches
*   **Close deals end-to-end:** identify leads, run sales calls and convert interest into paying customers
*   **Boost our B2C presence:** from social media (organic, paid, influencer) to SEO/SEA, referral loops, ambassador programs and other initiatives
*   **Turn data into action:** analyze product data and user behavior to identify growth levers and test monetization ideas
*   **Build our brand:** contribute to our content, events, community and thought leadership
*   **Take charge of internal ops:** improve workflows, processes and help us scale internal systems across finance, investor relations and tooling

## Requirements

**What We're Looking For**

*   **Relevant experience:** You’ve worked in startups, consulting, VC, investment banking or other fast-paced, high-performance environments
*   **Strategic & hands-on:** You can zoom out and think big, but you’re just as ready to roll up your sleeves and execute
*   **Analytical mindset:** You’re comfortable with numbers, structured thinking, and turning data into decisions
*   **Excellent communicator:** You’re fluent in **both German & English**, and comfortable leading conversations with users, customers and decision-makers
*   **Commitment to excellence:** You’re driven to go above and beyond when it matters
*   **AI-native:** You integrate AI in almost every workflow without outsourcing your thinking

## Benefits

**Benefits**

*   Competitive salary package with equity component
*   Working in a small but driven team built around performance and learning
*   Flexible environment with high degree of autonomy and option to work remotely
*   Frequent team events and acemate parties! 🥳
