Senior Venture Architect in Munich (f/m/d)

  • Full-time

Company Description

We are Stryber - the largest independent corporate portfolio builder in Europe.

We build corporate unicorns, help our clients launch new digital ventures from scratch (and fix the strategy behind it). 

We are a team of 90+ exceptional venturers collaborating from Munich, Zurich, Kyiv, and London and now growing in Valencia and in the UAE (Abu Dhabi/Dubai). We come from over 22 countries and love to be excellent and different. At Stryber you can expect a no-bullshit, down-to-earth, yet high caliber work environment.

Our approach 

We apply our own proven process to identify interesting market signals. We build web/mobile prototypes and MVPs to test and iterate these signals quickly in the market. We then scale the most promising ones to become leading solutions. We are full stack – from analytically sound investment theses over rapid MVPs to sophisticated deep-tech solutions, we have a variety of start-up projects ahead of us in several exciting verticals, such as FinTech, PropTech, Digital Health, Food & Beverage or MarTech. Among all corporate venture builders, we are the “strategic” one - we have a comprehensive view on strategy and governance questions around corporate venture building.

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior Venture Architect to join our team that can build the blueprint for new digital businesses and execute on that. You’re responsible for the strategy, stakeholder management, and team leadership. Our teams function as small, independent founder teams, and the Venture Architect is the acting CEO.

At Stryber you can expect a no-bullshit, down-to-earth, yet high caliber work environment. You will be part of the Stryber team – a dynamic team of top-notch experts that is highly motivated to create impact. Over the last five years, we have developed a solid and comprehensive framework for corporate innovation with a very thick secret sauce that is not easy to copy.
