Founders Associate - Engagement Innovation (all genders)

Join JustPlay GmbH as a Founders Associate - Engagement Innovation in Berlin, focusing on enhancing user engagement in their app ecosystem.

• Work directly with the founders as a thinking partner on what makes JustPlay exciting to play
• Embed across product teams to find opportunities — not to run them
• Maintain a constant flow of ideas, from single-line copy changes to entirely new mechanics
• Tear down the world's most engaging consumer apps and translate what works there into what could work here
• Turn ideas into things people can act on: a sharp one-pager, a mock, a test plan — whatever gets it moving fastest
• Push ideas through to launch by making yourself useful to the teams shipping them
• Measure what happens, tell the truth about it, and scale or kill accordingly
• Build our collective instinct for engagement, so the whole company gets better at this over time

• Exceptional consumer instincts: you can tell why something is fun or addictive, not just that it is
• Extremely high agency: you find the problem, propose the answer, and chase it until it's live, without being assigned it
• A genuine obsession with engagement mechanics in top B2C products such as games, social, commerce, or education
• Evidence that your ideas have shipped and moved a number, however small the idea was
• Fluency with data: you can read an experiment result honestly, including when it kills your favourite idea
• You write and speak clearly enough to sell an idea to a founder and an engineer in the same afternoon
• Comfortable being the newest voice in a room of people who know the product better than you and disagreeing anyway
• You communicate fluently in English, both written and spoken
• Casual, hyper-casual, or rewarded mobile gaming experience
• Background in LiveOps: events, seasons, progression, economies, or meta design
• Hands-on experimentation experience: you've designed and read A/B tests
• Enough technical or design literacy to mock something up yourself rather than describe it
• Familiarity with loyalty and rewards mechanics, or the mobile advertising landscape

• Work-Life Balance and Flexibility: Flexible working hours and options for digital nomads, occasional office visitors, or regular office-goers
• Mental Health Support: Free personal coaching through our partner nilo.health to support our team members to live fulfilled lives at home and at work
• Training & Development: A competitive personal development budget of up to 2000€/year for training, conferences, workshops, etc.
• Germany-Based Benefits: 25 vacation days, free Wellhub gold subscription, free monthly Deutschland-Ticket, and a monthly €50 tax-free internet contribution
• State-of-the-Art Equipment: Doesn’t matter if you are a MacBook or Windows user; we will provide you with the technical gear you need to succeed
• A Relocation Package: Includes visa support for those who need it
• Berlin Office Perks: Ergonomic setup, free daily lunch, and a dog-friendly environment.
• Engaging and Diverse Work Environment: Join a diverse team, with over 30 nationalities working from over 25 different locations
• Benefits may vary depending on location and contract type. Do not hesitate to ask us about more details on our benefits offer.
