We’re a stealth, VC-backed seed stage start-up disrupting a legacy mobility sector. With a proven expansion blueprint and a targeted M&A strategy, we’re set to triple revenue this year. Our founders – serial entrepreneurs who previously raised > USD 80m from Tier-1 US investors – are now launching into a new market.
Further details will be shared during recruitment.

Aufgaben

Every 2 months you'll roll-out one new location (car inspection centres; ~500k in revenue/location) - from sourcing prime real estate to launching fully operational inspection hubs and onboarding first customers:

• Proactively scout and evaluate new locations across Bavaria, Hessen, NRW, and BaWü ; negotiate competitive lease contracts with realtors. Focus on Frankfurt and Cologne .
• Manage the conversion of leased properties into state‑of‑the‑art tech-enabled inspection hubs by coordinating with relevant stakeholders to ensure on‑time openings.
• Provide agile support on ad‑hoc projects, addressing operational challenges at both existing and new sites.
• Embrace a mobile role, spending 80% of your time on‑site & on-the-road and serving as a key driver of our expansion strategy.
• Drive initial B2B customer acquisition by executing targeted outbound campaigns towards repair shops and car dealerships in close alignment with the sales team during the first two weeks post-launch of each site.
• Enhance our operations by identifying site‑specific issues and collaborating with our headquarter team to implement tech‑driven solutions.

• Completed a bachelor's or master’s programme from a top-tier university.
