ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

We are Lukas, Stefan & Sean, the co-founders of Mercura. We share a deep commitment to excellence and the discipline to pursue ambitious goals. Two of us come from non-academic families, and we all know what it means to create our own paths and overcome barriers. This experience shapes our belief in equal opportunity and fuels our dedication to social mobility.

At Mercura, we believe that the best ideas emerge when people from different backgrounds come together. That's why we hire based on ability, mindset, and values. Everyone is treated as an equal, and we live by the principle that the best idea wins.

We actively support initiatives that promote diversity and gender equity. Each year, we also commit a portion of our personal income to organizations working to expand opportunity for others.

• Reach out to customers, generate leads and grow our customer base
• Work closely and communicate with customers on a daily basis
• Collaborate across product, customer success, and commercial
• Translate your customer insights into new features and prototypes
• Drive recruiting and onboarding of a stellar core team
• Build the company foundations: set up infrastructure and core operational processes
• Lead, coach & mentor other team members and support them to reach ambitious goals

• You have worked in high-growth environments (e.g. startup, consulting)
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills in German & English

Commitment & Mindset:

• Mercura is part of your life’s mission, and you are willing to make sacrifices to prioritize your job over (almost) everything else
• You’re ambitious, resilient and willing to work hard in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
• You are highly entrepreneurial and take full ownership of diverse tasks, from customer calls to operations, with the same level of diligence and passion
• You’re adaptable and can switch between strategic thinking and operational execution seamlessly

• You’re a strong team player while you also proactively step up to lead teams

Company Perks

• Free team dinner (up to 4x/week)
