Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Cortea AI Vollzeit 90.000 € - 120.000 € pro Jahr

About us

We're 
Cortea
, a Berlin-based startup 
transforming audits with AI.

Auditors still fight endless spreadsheets, checklists, and document chaos. We're building the AI tools that take care of all that — so humans can focus on judgment and impact.

Backed by top-tier VCs with 
€10m+ funding, a live product, and paying customers
, we're scaling fast. We value 
first-principles thinking, speed, trust, and kindness
 — and we build side by side 
in our Berlin office
.

The Role

This isn't a "support the founders" role — it's a 
build with the founders
 role. You'll work side by side with Philipp (Co-Founder) on all product topics — shaping what we build, how we build it, and the impact it creates.

You'll be part of a 
small, high-trust team bringing Cortea from product-market fit to category leadership
. The work is dynamic, collaborative, and full of ownership — expect variety, real responsibility, and constant learning from day one.

What you'll do

  • Work hand-in-hand with our founders on 
    product strategy and execution
  • Turn ideas, feedback, and user insights into 
    actionable product decisions
  • Collaborate closely with 
    engineering, design, and customers
     to ship real value
  • Drive structure into chaos: refine our roadmap, process, and priorities
  • Help us learn faster — run experiments, validate hypotheses, and measure outcomes

You'll grow faster here than anywhere else if you crave ownership, speed, and real impact.

Who you are

  • 2+ years of 
    product-related experience
     (PM, strategy, consulting, or similar)
  • Worked in 
    fast-paced environments
     — startup, scale-up, or consulting — and loved the pace
  • Curious, analytical, and empathetic — you go deep to
    always understand the Why behind problems
  • Structured and reliable; you 
    bring calm and clarity to complex problems
  • Strong communicator
     who connects naturally with both tech and non-tech teams
  • Motivated by 
    constant learning, real impact, and fun collaboration
  • Strong communicator in 
    English and German
  • (Bonus)
     You've founded something before — a project, startup, or initiative

What we offer

  • Impact & ownership: Shape the future of our AI product with the founding team
  • Growth: Mentorship from experienced founders and exposure to all parts of the business
  • Career path: Step into a future role in Product Management or Founding Product
  • Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • Culture: Collaborative, inclusive, kind team working in-office in central Berlin
  • Perks: Learning budget, team lunches, offsites, flexible vacation

Interview process

  • Intro call — with Leon (Founders Associate Growth)
  • Product interview — with Philipp on a real product scenario
  • Cultural interview — culture and ambition fit with Valentin
  • On-site half-day (Berlin) — meet the team and jam on a live problem
