Massage is one of the oldest forms of healing. At newsoul, we are finally giving it the modern, premium stage it deserves. By merging high-end architectural design with data-driven, ai-enabled operations and a radical focus on customer experience, we are building more than just studios; we are building a new category of Integrated health.
Are you tired of "PowerPoint-only" work? Do you want to see the physical impact of your strategic decisions from the blueprint to the first customer? Do you want to learn how tech and ai are being used in an fast growing ope-heavy people organization?
As a Founders Associate (Strategy & Expansion), you will work directly with the Chief of Staff and the Founders. You will navigate the intersection of high-stakes capital raises, strategic scaling, and the hands-on reality of premium physical roll-outs. Your mission is to help us translate our brand’s DNA into new spaces while ensuring operational performance across every square meter.

Redefining the Architecture of Health
Your Responsibilities
- Strategic Expansion Engineering: You identify and evaluate the next frontiers for newsoul. You analyze urban trends and success metrics to draft high-stakes investment memos that define our future footprint.
- Operational Ownership: You’ll be the first to be updated on construction progress. You don’t just observe; you shape decision-making on-site to ensure the physical results meet your and our joint premium standards.
- Board-Impact & Capital Strategy: You prepare and support high-level presentations for our board of directors and investors, while playing a key role in our capital raises. Your analytical work and synthesized insights directly influence our strategic roadmap and secure the resources for our rapid scaling.
- Retail Performance: You drive and own our retail performance projects, identifying opportunities to grow revenue per location and translating insights into concrete initiatives across our studio network.
- Supplier & Partner Ecosystem: You architect our network of premium suppliers and specialized contractors, negotiating terms that balance uncompromising quality with a scalable cost structure.
Your Profile
- Analytical Merit & Track Record: You bring 1–2 years of professional experience or a strong internship track record in high-performance environments — consulting, VC, investment banking, or top-tier startups. You hold a degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, or a related field, and your academic and professional background speaks for itself.
AI-First Mindset: You actively work with the latest AI tools and default to them first when solving problems. Before reaching for a traditional solution, you ask how Claude, and other frontier AI tools can get you there faster and better. You don’t just use AI — you think with it.
Precision Communication: You switch fluently between German and English — whether delivering technical on-site briefings or leading board-level strategic discussions at HQ.
Operational Grit: You’re a hands-on personality who finds as much satisfaction in a perfectly organised project timeline as in a clean financial model. You don’t shy away from the details.
Relentless Ownership: You don’t wait for instructions. You spot a bottleneck — whether a supplier delay or a data gap — and move proactively to close it.
Strategic Foresight: You turn raw data into actionable insights instinctively and have a proven ability to translate complex, ambiguous problems into clear operational solutions.
Resilient Adaptability: You thrive in the ambiguity of a fast-scaling company and stay calm and solution-oriented when priorities shift.
What You’ll Get
- Early-Stage Ownership: A rare opportunity to join an ambitious company at the foundation level and directly influence our scaling trajectory.
- Steep Learning Curve: High-velocity exposure to end-to-end business building, working in close proximity to experienced founders and former top-tier consultants (McKinsey, BCG, Bain).
- Impact & Purpose: Contribute to a mission that matters—transforming the health and wellness industry through superior design and integrated care.
- Inspiring Work Environment: A beautiful HQ in the heart of Berlin (Kollwitzkiez) and a culture that values both high performance and personal well-being.
- Fair Compensation: A competitive package that reflects your academic merits, professional track record, and potential impact on our growth.
