Growth Associate

STRATOS builds Commercial Digital Twins for Europe's leading building materials and specialty chemicals manufacturers: an AI platform that shows commercial teams exactly where their next revenue is. We are scaling fast across Europe, and we intend to build a unicorn.

We are hiring one German-Speaking Growth Associate to help build the machine that gets us there. You will work directly with the CEO, CRO, and CMO, a leadership team drawn from McKinsey, BCG, Harvard Business School, and top enterprise software scale-ups. This is a high-bar role. We hire from the same talent pool as MBB consulting firms, top funds, and the best software companies.

Tasks

Run campaigns end to end. Plan, launch, and optimize outreach campaigns. Write, test, measure, iterate.

Own outbound. Run cold calling, email sequences, and LinkedIn programmes targeting commercial leaders at Europe's largest manufacturers, armed with the AI-recommended warm intro paths and account intelligence.

Drive our paid channels. Organise, launch, and optimize paid campaigns, from targeting and creative through to spend decisions and attribution.

Build materials that win meetings. Produce client documents, demos, and interactive presentations from our library of high-end content, using our templates and AI tooling. Fast turnaround, senior-team standard.

Keep the engine clean. Log your activity, keep pipeline data spotless in HubSpot, and produce the weekly pipeline, coverage, and forecast numbers the CRO uses to manage the number and brief the board.

Make our commercial engine sharper every week. New plays, new automations, new content for the library. What you build compounds.

Use AI as a force multiplier. We are an AI-first company. You will use our AI tooling and automations to do the work of a team several times your size.

Requirements

Non-negotiables. If you do not clearly meet these, this is not the role for you.

- Native German Language Skill, both speaking and writing.

- Top of your class at a leading university. First-class honours, a distinction, or the equivalent.

- A track record of being exceptional at something measurable. A selective scholarship or prize, a role at a top consultancy, fund, or software company, a genuinely competitive selection you won, or something you built and grew yourself - with a number that proves it.

- Evidence of grit. You have taken on something hard, owned it end to end, and have the result to show for it. Startup pace should energise you, not unsettle you.

Also true of the person we hire:

- A doer. You like the execution: getting on the phone, shipping campaigns, and turning work around fast. You measure yourself by outcomes, not activity.

- A sharp, persuasive writer. Most of this job is persuading busy executives in few words. You can make a cold email land.

- AI-native. HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, email automation, and modern AI tooling should excite rather than intimidate you. You reach for automation instinctively.

- Commercially curious and ambitious. You want to understand how B2B companies grow.

2 to 3 years in growth, sales, marketing, consulting, or a similarly demanding environment. Truly exceptional graduates will be considered.

Benefits

What this role gives you

Both sides of go-to-market. You will do sales and marketing, with direct founder and CRO exposure and a front-row seat on enterprise deals from first touch to signature.

Ownership from week one. Small team, real budget, your campaigns, your results.

An education you cannot buy. How an AI-first startup really grows, learned from the inside.

Located in Farringdon, STRATOS is a high energy, high output place to work. We offer competitive salaries, equity, and private healthcare insurance.
