A solid grasp of HGB accounting is assumed. - Liquidity planning isn't a theoretical concept to you — you've owned a cash forecast whose accuracy someone cared about. - You are comfortable with financial models: you read them, stress-test them, and find the spot where an assumption stops holding. - You know SaaS metrics such as ARR, NRR, CAC, and churn not as vocabulary but as a system where each one drives the others. - You communicate numbers so that non-finance people can make a decision — in writing and in the room. - You work independently in an environment where not every process exists yet. Some you will build before you can use them. - You want to lead a team eventually — and you're honest enough with yourself to know you're not there yet. - Fluent German and English. ### Nice to have Experience in travel tech, or B2B SaaS with enterprise customers. Exposure to audit, due diligence, or public funding programmes. ### Why us? What that means for you: you work with AI, not despite it. People who join us give feedback that shapes product decisions — and sooner or later come to understand why one prompt works better than another. And because we are growing fast, a lot here is still taking shape. Sometimes the honest answer is “we’re still building that.” That is exactly where the opportunity lies: you will find open space rather than finished structures, and what you build here will carry your signature. ### What we offer - Work with real AI technology at international level — not as a pilot project, but as our business model. - Genuine room to shape things. Your ideas do not land in a suggestion box; they land in the next iteration. - A short path to the management team. Decisions take days, not committee rounds. - Growth you are part of. We are building the company’s next chapter — with roles, responsibility and prospects that did not exist a year ago. - Leipzig as your primary base, with regular time in the office and flexible remote work. Hybrid models are everyday practice here, not the exception. - Permanent contract, full-time. - Performance bonuses for demonstrable results. - Multi-day team events in places that are actually fun. ### Our hiring process - Intro interview — we get to know each other, and you learn where we stand and where we are heading. - Case study or technical study, depending on the role — a real problem from our day-to-day that we work through together. - Interview with your future manager and, depending on the position, with our founders. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
