Your role at Kittl 🥁
As our Founders Associate for Growth, you’ll take over and scale Kittl’s influencer partnerships. We’ve worked with 1,000+ influencers, and they’re one of our biggest acquisition channels for print-on-demand sellers and small product businesses. Your job is to automate, scale and build it out into a channel that delivers growth. From there, you can expand into affiliates, business partnerships or other roles in the growth org. We need someone hungry who moves fast, wants to build, has negotiated and closed deals before, and is AI-native. This role is based in Berlin and reports to our Head of Growth, working closely with the CEO and leadership.
What you'll do 📋
Run and scale influencer and creator partnerships: Own our influencer and creator programme day to day and grow the subscriptions it brings in
Automate it: Turn sourcing, outreach, onboarding and reporting into AI workflows, so the channel scales without a bigger team
Sign the right influencers: Find, pitch and close the influencers our sellers listen to, and move budget to the ones that convert
Build it out as an acquisition channel: Make it measurable and forecastable, with clear reporting on spend against subscriptions
Expand: Grow into affiliates and business partnerships with the platforms, tools and communities our sellers already use
What you'll need ✅
Growth you owned: 3–4 years in a startup or scale-up, in a growth, partnerships, sales, founders associate or BizOps role, where you moved a number yourself
Influencer marketing or sales: You've built pipelines and negotiated and closed deals yourself, with creators, partners or customers, and can show the numbers
Problem-solver: You take an unclear problem, work it out from the data and explain your reasoning
AI-native builder: You've built things that changed how work gets done. You know to avoid AI slop.
Proactive and creative: You say "this happened, so I solved it" rather than "what should I do?", and you try angles others haven't
Hungry: You'd rather build the pipeline and close than write the strategy and wait for someone else to do it
Nice to have 👌
Experience in both influencer marketing and sales, or with affiliate programmes
E-commerce, print-on-demand or creator-economy background

You'll do well here if 🌟
You pick up problems nobody assigned you. If something's broken and no one has stepped up, you're the person who does
You'd rather make the call and adjust than wait until you're certain. Speed is how we win
You want to own a domain deeply enough that people rely on your judgement in it, whether or not you manage anyone
You'll argue for your position and commit fully when the call goes the other way
You care about details other people would call excessive. We hold a higher bar than most, on purpose
You use AI constantly and still own every word you ship
Every new hire should raise the bar in some meaningful way, not just fill a seat. We hold to that, and it's why you'll be working with the most talented people from all over the world.
