️ Your Impact:

As Venture Development Manager (m/f/d), you'll own a book of partners - Meister-led Handwerk businesses in Elektro and SHK - as their trusted operator and coach. And, uniquely in the team, you'll act as an AI product manager and lead the repeatability of our work: auditing how we work, codifying best practices, driving adoption, and identifying what we should build in our platform next - filling the gaps where it can't yet, and turning what you learn into the next automation.

Your Impact

 * Own a book of Handwerk partners end-to-end - onboarding, operational delivery, activation, and growth.
 * Audit how the team delivers today, codify best practices into playbooks and SOPs, and drive their adoption through evidence and influence.
 * Act as a product manager for our delivery: spec the highest-leverage automations with our CTO and measure hours saved per partner.
 * Build the measurement foundation - manual touchpoints per partner, activation pace, process adoption - and report progress to the founders.
