Role details
This isn't your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We're aiming to become Germany's second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe's #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).
We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 80 million users for engaging with our advertisers' products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.
AT ALMEDIA, YOU'LL:
- Own way more, way earlier — you'll be trusted with responsibility fast.
- Push harder, get further — this isn't a 9–5. We highly reward intensity.
- Join a rare environment — you will work with ambitious high-speed, high-ownership people.
- Fully present — we're 5 days a week in the office to build the energising momentum we need.
VENTURE LEAD (BERLIN)
- We're looking for a Venture Lead who will act as a seasoned architect of our growth, owning the journey from initial insight to global scale for our next generation of products.
- In this role, you will build the "machine" that launches "Unicorn-level" ventures, setting the strategic foundation for massive market expansions and new business lines like Cashback.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Incubate & Launch Ventures: Transform validated opportunities into "Unicorn-level" market pilots, securing signed lighthouse clients and executive-approved business models.
- Establish Venture Operating Models: Architect the governance, funding, and decision frameworks that empower R&D squads to ship milestones autonomously without executive escalations.
- Forge Strategic Partnerships: Negotiate and integrate flagship advertiser partnerships into the core product experience to elevate Almedia's global market positioning.
- Scale High-Performance Teams: Build a world-class venture organization by hiring and mentoring key leaders, setting extreme quality bars, and coaching managers to deliver outcomes independently.
- Drive P&L & Playbook Excellence: Take full ownership of venture business impact by running recurring data reviews and codifying playbooks that prioritize our highest-leverage bets.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- Venture Building Track Record: Proven experience owning a multi-venture thesis in a hyper-growth environment, with a history of making disciplined scale/kill decisions.
- Operational Architecture Mastery: Expertise in building high-velocity delivery engines that translate high-level strategy into weekly execution plans using Lean Startup and Design Thinking.
- AdTech & Growth Fluency: Deep understanding of architecting analytics systems (LTV/CAC, retention, incrementality) while ensuring privacy and compliance readiness.
- Enterprise Leadership: Experience negotiating complex commercial terms and representing the company effectively with clients, investors, and stakeholders.
- Bonus: Success in launching or scaling a major product in the Rewarded User Acquisition or Fintech landscape.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT 🌟
- Own Everything: You model extreme ownership and initiative, taking full accountability for the venture P&L and ROI from initial concept to global scale.
- Raise the Bar: You are a natural problem-solver who standardizes excellence through playbooks, removing blockers hands-on to elevate the entire organization's standards.
- Move Fast: You thrive on the intensity of the build, making fast, evidence-based decisions at high velocity to maximize venture value and speed-to-impact.
