Head of Growth (m/f/d)

Posted 2 months ago

OfficeBerlin

In two years, we've become Germany's third-largest property manager with fewer than 25 full-time members at HQ. We build property management software. We acquire property management companies across Germany and plug our software in to increase revenue and profit. 70,000+ units, 12 locations, 25+ acquired companies.

We're recruiting a final senior operator for our five-person core ops team who gets their hands dirty, builds processes, and enables us to scale. We are looking for someone with the grit to build a €100M vertical from scratch.

This Is Not a Marketing Role

This is a builder role. You won't run campaigns or optimize funnels. You'll own entire business lines, from identifying the opportunity to proving the unit economics to scaling it across 12 locations. If a vertical doesn't work, you kill it and start the next one. If it does, you run it.

You'll work directly with the leadership team. No layers. Full ownership of your P&L from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Build the distribution engine. Design how each service reaches property owners through the product: in-app recommendations, usage-based triggers, automated cross-sell at the right moment. Systems, not campaigns.

  • Run experiments fast. Test pricing, packaging, onboarding flows, and distribution channels. Strong opinion on what to try, discipline to measure it properly.

  • Get on the ground. Buena's property managers are your distribution channel and your feedback loop. You'll spend real time across our 12 locations understanding what owners actually need, not what a spreadsheet says they should want.

Do Not Apply If

  • You want a team to manage before you've proven the model.

  • You're looking for a traditional growth/marketing role with established playbooks.

  • You're not willing to relocate to Berlin.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in growth, strategy, or venture building at a company with a real-world operations layer: proptech, fintech, marketplace, logistics. 0→1 experience is a strong signal.

  • Fluent German (C2 or native). You'll work with German portfolio companies daily.

  • Based in Berlin, willing to travel to portfolio company locations across Germany.

  • You think in unit economics, not vanity metrics.

  • High autonomy. You don't need a roadmap handed to you.

What You Get

  • Build something from scratch with full backing. You have 70,000 units as your sandbox and the leadership team's full support.

  • Direct path to running a business unit. Each vertical you prove becomes yours to scale.

  • Top-tier compensation including virtual stock options and a €500/month housing allowance near HQ.

  • €110/month lunch budget, €50 fitness subsidy, daily breakfast, and specialty coffee at the office.

  • €1,200/year learning budget.
