Job Description

Your Team

URVI – Urban Vitality

URVI is a modern, fast-growing D2C brand at the intersection of health, e-commerce, and FMCG. We are currently expanding in Germany, the USA, and soon Pan-EU.

As a Founders Associate, you will work directly with the founders and play a central role in scaling the brand – operationally, analytically, and creatively.

This role is not a classic trainee or consulting profile, but a hands-on growth role where you take responsibility, build funnels, test hypotheses, and drive things forward at high speed.

You are an early joiner and can quickly develop into a key pillar of the company.

Your Mission

  • You optimize our entire Growth & Sales Funnel.

From landing pages to hooks to A/B tests: You find bottlenecks, formulate hypotheses, and test data-driven.

  • You develop high-performing campaign structures (Meta, Google, TikTok) and continuously improve creatives, targeting, and messaging – together with our creative team.
  • You think like a hacker: fast, experimental, independent – from technical implementation to performance evaluation.
  • You build scalable performance assets, e.g.

→ a partner/influencer pipeline (outreach, briefings, processes)

→ creator structures for UGC & Ads

→ a systematic testing stack for creatives & hooks

  • You develop Growth initiatives that directly contribute to revenue and EBITDA: bundles, promotions, pricing tests, CRM flows, Subscribe & Save optimization, and much more.
  • You work closely with the founders and take responsibility for your own projects – from e-commerce optimization to insights and launch strategies for new products.
  • You bring structure to our marketing & e-commerce setup, identify weaknesses, and design scalable processes.
  • You provide strategic support, e.g., for investor relations, reporting, and market analysis – always with a performance focus.

What we wish for

  • First experience in e-commerce, performance marketing, D2C, growth, startups, management consulting or related fields

(Not necessarily many years – your mindset is more important.)

  • A performance & funnel understanding: you know how online businesses work, how P&L, traffic, creatives, conversion, and retention interact – and where the levers are.
  • You love experiments: test > discuss. You work fast and turn hypotheses into measurable results.
  • A structured, analytical way of working – whether numbers, funnels, ads, or processes.
  • Independence and proactivity: You work towards results, not just tasks.
  • Very good German language skills.

What else you can score with

  • Experience with Meta Ads Manager, SEA, GA4, Shopify, Klaviyo, TikTok Ads or analysis tools like Klar.
  • An eye for content, creatives, hooks & messaging.
  • Experience in the influencer/creator area.
  • A drive to implement things faster than others.

What is self-evident for us

  • Fair and transparent salary structures
  • With our modern office in Kreuzberg, we offer you an ideal working environment
  • Up to 28 vacation days per year
  • State-of-the-Art Hardware Set-up

What makes us special

  • A culture based on transparency, appreciation, and trust – and puts the people at URVI at the center
  • Extremely steep learning curve – professionally, operationally, strategically
  • Radical ownership: You manage topics independently and get full responsibility from day 1
  • Direct access to the founders: short paths, quick decisions, no politics
  • Working culture built for speed: We test daily, decide quickly, and learn in weeks what others learn in months
