Founder Associate - Help Us Scale Healthcare in Europe

What we're building

Somana is a bet on a simple idea: that the way Europe treats musculoskeletal disease is broken – and that the fix isn't another app or another pill. It's a place.

Studios that combine evidence-based physiotherapy with long-term training and behavior change. Where people don't just get treated – they get better and stay better.

Our first studio at Gendarmenmarkt is live. More locations across DACH are coming. We're early, we're hands-on, and we're focused on what actually moves the needle.

Aufgaben

You'll work directly with the founders on the things that create traction: marketing, sales, expansion and partnerships.

Some days you're writing outreach to orthopedic practices and sports clubs. Other days you're coordinating a local event, cleaning up the CRM, or preparing a lease comparison for a new location. You'll handle invoices and you'll sit in on calls that shape the company. Both matter.

This isn't a role where you observe and learn. It's a role where you do – and where doing well opens doors.

What you'll spend most of your time on

The core of this job is getting Somana in front of the right people.

That means outreach to doctors, patients, sports clubs, local health communities – and the follow-through that turns a first conversation into a real relationship. You'll draft materials, maintain pipelines, execute local campaigns, support our social channels. Not strategy. Execution. Consistent outreach, clean follow-ups, visible traction.

Beyond that, you'll keep the operational backbone intact: receipts organized, invoices tracked, suppliers coordinated, internal docs in order. Not glamorous, but essential.
And you'll get exposure to expansion – researching locations, coordinating with brokers and architects, preparing what the founders need to make decisions. You won't own the real estate strategy, but you'll see how it's built.

Qualifikation

Who this is for

Early-career generalists who want to learn by doing, not by watching.

We don't care about your degree or where you've worked. We care about how you work. You're structured and reliable. You're comfortable when things aren't fully defined. You communicate clearly in German and English. You take ownership without waiting for permission. And you're willing to do work that nobody applauds – because you understand that's where trust is built.

What this isn't

Not a strategy role. Not a consulting gig. Not marketing-only. Not a classic assistant job. And not a guaranteed path to anything.

Benefits

Direct access to founders and investors who've built, scaled and exited companies before. A steep learning curve across marketing, sales, expansion, and company building. Real responsibility from day one.
If you perform, this role grows with you – into operations, growth, expansion, or Chief of Staff. But that's earned through execution, not promised upfront.

Send your CV or LinkedIn and a short note: why this role makes sense for you, and why you care about health, movement, or building something early.
