The role
This is a unique opportunity to join Forgent AI on the ground floor. As a Strategy & Operations Lead, you'll operate at the heart of the company — partnering directly with the founders on everything from GTM to product strategy, tech ops, hiring, and investor relations. You’ll be trusted with real ownership and get a 360° view of what it takes to build a venture-backed AI startup from scratch.
The day-to-day
- Act as a force multiplier for the founders—owning strategic and operational projects across product, GTM, tech, and fundraising
- Solve high-priority, cross-functional problems with speed and autonomy
- Build and refine internal processes as we scale from zero to one
- Partner with engineering and product teams to bring new features to market
- Represent Forgent externally with partners, suppliers, and early customers
- Contribute to company building: hiring, culture, and roadmap planning
You should apply if you
- Have 2–3 years of experience in a fast-paced, analytical environment (e.g., top-tier consulting, investment banking, or high-growth startups)
- Are a generalist who “never drops the ball” and loves making things happen
- Bring sharp problem-solving skills and a bias toward action
- Thrive in ambiguity and are hungry to learn fast
- Are based in Berlin (or eager to relocate)
- Have strong communication skills—in English (German is a bonus)
