About the role
👋 Hey, we're Founders Factory
Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies. Headquartered in London and operating globally, Founders Factory backs visionary founders with capital, dedicated support from a team of expert operators, and unrivalled access to a coalition of industry leading corporate partners. Since 2015, FF has backed 450+ portfolio companies helping them to secure over 500 enterprise pilots with blue chip corporate partners such as Aviva, Northwestern Medicine, Johnson & Johnson Innovation, and HSBC.
The Opportunity:
Health systems globally are burdened by capacity constraints, rising chronic disease, aging populations, and escalating operational costs. Care delivery models built around physical hospitals are increasingly unsustainable. Advances in connected devices, remote diagnostics, and AI-enabled monitoring now make it possible to safely move large parts of care beyond hospital walls while improving outcomes and patient experience.
The big promise of technology in this space is to enable continuous, proactive, and lower cost care particularly across long-term condition management or home-based / community care while allowing scarce clinical resources to focus where they matter most.
We are looking for exceptional Venture Builders who are passionate about building the future of healthcare delivery.
🔍 Who are we looking for?
As a Venture Builder, you specialise in taking ideas from zero to venture-backable businesses. You work closely with founders to shape strategy, validate problem spaces, build MVPs, and find early product market fit. This is a hands on, high ownership role. You’ll operate across product, design, growth and tech, moving fast, making decisions, and focusing relentlessly on what creates the most leverage at each stage of a venture. You have a varied skill set and will have demonstrated an interest in tech and entrepreneurship. You will be an advocate for Founders Factory's values and mission and be committed to supporting founders. You are opinionated but evidence led, creative but commercial, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. You care deeply about building products people actually want and businesses that can scale.
Please note that we are looking for Venture Builders who are available for an initial 12 month contract (freelance). Our preferred location is Berlin, but we will be open to considering hybrid approaches for exceptional talent.
💪 Your responsibilities:
Owning the end-to-end early build: from problem definition and MVP scoping through to shipping, testing, and iteration
Getting products into users hands fast, using lean, experimental approaches to validate assumptions and generate learning
Shaping the customer experience and product vision, balancing user needs with commercial and technical realities
Working closely with founders to challenge thinking, sharpen focus, and drive momentum, especially when things feel unclear or uncomfortable
Helping ventures progress through studio stage gates, supporting founders towards strong, evidence-backed IC decisions
Spotting opportunities early by staying close to market dynamics, emerging tech, and real user behaviour
Communicating clearly and regularly, sharing progress, learnings, trade-offs, and recommendations with founders and the wider studio
🎯 Required skills, experience and mindset:
Demonstrated 0→1 experience in digital health or medtech, whether at a startup, through a side project, research, or volunteering (experience applying AI or developing innovative health/medical devices are considered highly advantageous).
Driving momentum by subscribing to lean methodologies and an experimental approach, you prioritise speed, learning, and focus over perfection
Comfortable wearing multiple hats (product, design, tech, growth) and knowing when to pull in specialist support
Strong technical mindset, with the ability to build no-code / low-code solutions, prototypes, or proofs of concept to accelerate validation
Commercially curious with the ability to think about ICPs, value propositions, pricing hypotheses, and early GTM alongside product
Communicating your ideas, progress and learnings to the team, seeking feedback when needed.
Comfortable setting expectations and ways of working with founders, and maintaining strong, honest working relationships
Professional German language proficiency is mandatory.
👌 We value people who:
Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy solving messy problems
Quick thinking and intuition, someone who can balance creativity with objective data
A passion for creating products people love, caring about product performance is key
The ability to adapt and operate in an ambiguous environment
Comfortable with taking calculated risks and learning fast
Wanting to continuously improve your skills and productivity, challenging yourself when you can
Strong leadership that drives outcomes
Being approachable and optimistic
🚫 What this role is not
Not a pure designer or engineer
Not a consultant writing decks from the sidelines
Not a 9–5 role
This role is about building, deciding, testing, and moving. This is a fast-moving venture studio environment where momentum matters and timelines can be intense at key moments.
Note - Sloppy/Lazy AI applications will be rejected.
