About the role

Join one of Europe's fastest-growing climate companies, fresh off a €17.5M Series A!**

Why Now VARM?**

Buildings are the largest energy consumers in Europe, making them CO₂ monsters. They account for 40% of our energy usage, causing 36% of all EU CO₂ emissions. That's why the decarbonization of buildings is essential for a sustainable future.

Why Us?

At VARM, we are pushing insulation forward. We help our customers save up to 50% on their heating costs and decrease their CO₂ emissions. With this new financing round behind us and top-tier investors at our side, we're scaling fast, and we need the right people to help us get there.

Our Goal?

Becoming Europe's Insulation Champion and insulating 1 million houses over the next 10 years! Now is your chance to be part of our vision. Join us in building a market-leading company in the climate sector.

Unf*ck the planet with us and actively contribute to slashing CO₂ emissions from buildings.

Tasks

You treat every project like your own startup: full ownership from idea to execution, no hand-holding required

You operate confidently in ambiguity and build structure where none exists yet, in a fast-growing climate-tech startup

You step out of your comfort zone to deliver robust results in short timeframes that exceed expectations

Requirements

You bring either 2-4 years of experience in a fast-paced start-up / scale-up environment, consulting, investment banking or VC, or at least 2 years of experience founding and running your own company

You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills paired with a proactive, hands-on mindset

You communicate fluently in both English and German, written and verbal, and can convey complex ideas concisely to different audiences

You thrive in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment and are a self-starter with a high sense of ownership, strong work ethic, entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to work independently

You are passionate about contributing to our goal of energy-efficient buildings and a sustainable future

Benefits

Competitive compensation package: We will offer you a mix of cash and stock options based on your appetite for upside

Be part of our core-team, building in a super-hot phase of an early-stage climate-tech startup

Make an impact at VARM: Shape our culture and the way we work and collaborate together. Nothing is set in stone – you have a direct impact, while we are growing and building together

Make an impact on the earth: Do you want to make a difference in the fight against climate change? Become part of the solution and actively shape the energy transition

Onsite first, but hybrid work keeps us flexible: We believe that in-person collaboration is an integral part of working together, but offer flexibility for remote working

Grow with us: We take your personal development seriously, which includes being mentored and challenged in regular founder feedback sessions

Start–up culture: We offer you hybrid work, training, team events, and a great office setup in the heart of Kreuzberg

Discounted fitness programs
