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 60 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.

We’re looking for a Senior Venture Lead who will own everything from initial insight to global scale and beyond. You aren't just managing projects; you are a seasoned builder who has already taken ventures from 0 to 100—like our success with Freecash—and has the hunger to do it again. You will set company strategy, build end-to-end ventures, and lead the charge on massive market expansions and new product lines like Cashback. You move fast, raise the bar for everyone around you, and lead high-ownership, cross-functional teams that transform how the world’s top brands acquire users.

What You'll Do 🎯

This role is for a heavyweight leader who builds the "machine" that builds the ventures:

• Incubate and launch "Unicorn-level" ventures from validated opportunities to live market pilots with signed lighthouse clients and an executive-approved business model.

• Establish the company-wide Venture Operating Model by implementing the governance, funding, and decision frameworks that allow teams to ship milestones without executive escalations.

• Architect high-impact strategic partnerships with flagship advertisers and platforms, integrating partner capabilities into the product experience to elevate our market positioning.

• Build and scale a high-performing venture org by hiring or elevating key leaders, setting extreme quality bars, and coaching managers to deliver outcomes independently.

• Drive business impact and P&L ownership by running recurring reviews, codifying venture playbooks, and using data-driven insights to prioritize high-leverage bets.

What You'll Bring 💡

We need a battle-hardened entrepreneur who has successfully navigated the complexity of hyper-growth:

• Venture Building Track Record: Proven experience owning a multi-venture thesis, allocating capital and senior talent, and making disciplined scale/kill/exit calls.

• Operational Architecture: Mastery of building high-velocity delivery engines that translate strategy into weekly plans using Lean Startup and Design Thinking.

• Adtech & Growth Fluency: Expertise in architecting analytics systems (LTV/CAC, retention, incrementality) and ensuring privacy/compliance readiness.

• Enterprise Leadership: Experience negotiating complex commercial terms and representing the company with clients, investors, and media.

• Cross-Functional Mastery: Ability to structure and lead multi-functional teams across product, growth, data, ops, finance, and legal.

What Makes You a Great Fit 🌟

You are more than a manager; you are a visionary doer who thrives on the intensity of the build:

• Own Everything: You model extreme ownership and initiative, taking full accountability for the venture P&L and ROI from start to finish.

• Raise the Bar: You are a natural problem-solver who standardizes playbooks, removes blockers hands-on, and manages performance decisively.

• Move Fast: You thrive in high-velocity environments, making fast, evidence-based decisions that maximize venture value and speed-to-impact
