Zaitgeist Innovation Group GmbH

We are a highly specialised tech startup in the heart of Berlin, working on one of the hardest and most relevant problems of our time: bringing artificial intelligence to where it has the biggest leverage – the German state.

Our goal is to take load off public administrations and to resolve citizens' requests faster and more efficiently. Our solutions already support more than 1.4 million people every day – and the number is growing fast. As one of Germany's fastest-growing GovTech startups (100% MoM growth over several months), something genuinely new happens here every day.

You work directly with the founders (ex-UN, ex-TR, serial founder, 3 PhDs, German Academic Scholarship Foundation, top-of-class, …) as part of a small, excellent collective backed by influential advisors and angel investors. In short: maximum impact, minimum friction.

Your Role

You work directly with our founder & CEO on strategic topics, process optimisation and customer contact. The role is deliberately broad, with a lot of responsibility and a steep learning curve. Typical candidates for this role have what it takes to found a company themselves sooner or later.

In concrete terms:

Analyse and improve core company processes

Prepare, follow up on and lead customer meetings

Research and analysis to prepare strategic decisions

Responsibility from day one

Your Experience

This role is for you if you think collaboratively and entrepreneurially and enjoy learning and taking on responsibility. Some work experience in fast-paced environments – e.g. consulting, the public sector or startups – would be helpful. What matters most to us, though, is that you bring curiosity, initiative and a strong sense of responsibility.

Your Reward

Exciting growth opportunities

Competitive salary package

A beautiful, central office right at Rosenthaler Platz

28 days of vacation per year
