Position Overview & Specifications
We have raised $4M from 20VC, Stride and Base10. What we do: build the AI-backoffice of Handwerk businesses + double their revenue. You will have the opportunity to lay the structure for scaling in a small high-performing team from Berlin as one of the first 12 employees and will work directly with the Operations Lead and the Founder.
AufgabenTill here, Operations Lead at handly. I thought about giving you the standard HR description of a job.
I wonβt. handly is the most personally and intellectually rewarding environment I have seen so far. You will do exactly what I am doing right now. So chances are, you will dig it a lot, too!
Here is what makes it so great:
- We grow Handwerk businesses by taking away their administrative work and giving them the tools to sell that only big companies would have. Seeing and enabling the growth of talented roofing masters through handly is the most rewarding thing you can imagine.
- We earn money through a revenue share of our partner businesses. This aligns our incentives 100% - meaning incredible transparency and trust between us and the craftsmen.
- You are the owner of this relationship. Together with the owner of the craftsmen company, you will launch the company and grow it to β¬1M revenue and beyond. You will do that with 10 companies eventually.
- Through our revenue share business model, you sit exactly at the most important point of our operation. Your daily work generates handlyβs revenue. This makes the role of Business Generalist the most critical role of the company. A good point to grow from.
Day-to-day you will:
- Have full revenue responsibility for the development of 10 partner Handwerk businesses
- Build processes to deliver our service through software & AI
- Strengthen handlyβs value proposition: helping Handwerk businesses grow faster and more profitably
Joining Handly as Business Generalist means working directly with the Leadership Team from day one. This gives you two major advantages:
- Autonomy: Youβll have the freedom to act quickly, with direct support from decision-makers who trust you to get things done.
- Growth Opportunities: As Handly grows, so will your responsibilities. This role sets you up to lead key areas in the future or even gain support for your own entrepreneurial ventures.
- Native German (hard requirement)
- Berlin-based or willing to relocate (we can help on that)
This is not just the next step; itβs the start of long-term impact and personal growth.
We are supported by leading venture capitalists, including Harry Stebbings (20VC), Fred Destin (Stride), base10, and Julian Teicke (Founder of wefox and The Delta). Our advisors include Ershad Jamil, former CGO at ServiceTitan, who helped grow the company into the worldβs largest craftsmen startup, now publicly listed with a $10 billion market cap.
Process:
- 30 minutes call: intro and personal fit, with Till (Ops Lead)
- 30 minutes call: cultural fit, motivation with Basti (CEO)
- in-person meeting & office tour: with Till and Basti (CEO)
- decision from both sides
The whole process can be completed within one week.
