Welcome to vivenu, the global leader in event ticketing tech and one of the world’s fastest-growing live entertainment tech firms. We are transforming event ticketing for global leaders like the Grammys, the Golden Globes, Stanford University and the Hockenheimring turning what was once a simple transaction into a strategic business advantage. Backed by over $65 million in funding, our platform empowers event organizers to own their brand experience, unlock deep data insights, and seamlessly integrate ticketing into their digital infrastructure.

With six offices worldwide and growing, we deliver a customizable, intuitive solution and industry-leading support that simplify even the most complex ticketing challenges – helping organizers deliver exceptional experiences and drive real growth.

Join us and build the future of live entertainment.

As a Founders Associate (d/f/m) your responsibilities will include:

  • Act as the right hand to our CTO, bridging the gap between high-level business strategy and technical execution.
  • Own cross-functional projects, coordinate timelines, and ensure smooth communication between the tech team and business stakeholders.
  • Contribute to the optimization of internal technical processes, making engineering faster, more efficient, and more impactful
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Tech, Customer Success and other teams to align cross-functional technical efforts
  • Take ownership of projects end-to-end, ensuring they move from planning to measurable outcomes
  • Serve as a strategic sounding board for the CTO, preparing presentations, tracking KPIs, and handling operational day-to-day challenges.

What you will need to succeed in this role:

  • A background in Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik), Information Management, or a Business/Economics degree with a strong, demonstrable passion for technology.
  • The ability to read high-fly code and a solid grasp of how modern software, APIs, and databases work—you won't be writing production code, but you must confidently speak the language of our engineering team.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to act as a seamless translator between software engineers, product managers, and commercial stakeholders.
  • An analytical, outcome-oriented mindset with the ability to take abstract ideas or messy data and turn them into structured, measurable project plans.
  • High organizational skills and the proactive drive to own projects end-to-end in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Reliability and discretion, making you a trusted strategic sparring partner capable of handling executive-level presentations, KPIs, and operational day-to-day challenges.
