About this job
<p><strong>Join BIA Hubs as Managing Director (m/f/d)</strong></p>
<p>Some of the most compelling questions in business today — how organizations transform, how leaders grow, how AI reshapes the way people work — are the ones we tackle every day.</p>
<p>We're BIA Hubs, a Berlin-based boutique group and the home of BIA, HelloCircle, and our Startup Hub. A lean team working with fast-paced clients across Europe: GetYourGuide, LiveEO, Novo Nordisk, Roland Berger, the City of Berlin, and a growing ecosystem of scale-ups, multinationals and institutions.</p>
<p>We operate across three business units:</p>
<ul>
<li>BIA – AI and change programs for large organizations</li>
<li>HelloCircle – Leadership development for scale-ups and multinationals</li>
<li>Startup Hub – Publicly-funded startup programs</li>
</ul>
<p>Independent and deliberately self-funded, built on product quality and client relationships.</p>
<p>We're looking for an ambitious Managing Director to lead our commercial growth and shape what comes next.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p><strong>This is a senior commercial and leadership role.</strong> Externally, you own our growth: new business generation, strategic partnerships, tenders, and market development. Internally, you carry the MD scope: strategy, team leadership, and operational oversight, with clear authority that grows over time.</p>
<ul>
<li>Drive revenue growth and new business: identify, develop, and convert opportunities across our target markets</li>
<li>Build strategic alliances with organizations that open new markets and audiences</li>
<li>Own our tender and RFP pipeline, from identifying opportunities to delivering the full response</li>
<li>Lead senior client relationships and ensure delivery standards across key accounts</li>
<li>Think strategy across channels and products, identify growth opportunities and drive them forward</li>
<li>Partner with the founder on the decisions that shape the company: positioning, product direction, and organizational strategy</li>
<li>Grow and empower the team, supporting their development and leading our internal AI transformation</li>
<li>Gradually take on the G&A function: finance, administration, and organizational operations</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p><strong>You are a commercially sharp, strategically minded professional with a track record of driving growth in a leading agency or consulting firm.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You come from a leading agency, consultancy, or professional services background, with experience building partnerships, developing accounts, and winning business</li>
<li>You have strong commercial instincts and a proven ability to identify, develop, and convert strategic opportunities</li>
<li>German at native level and English fluency — both are non-negotiable</li>
<li>You're analytical, fast-moving, and hands-on</li>
<li>You know how to leverage AI tools like Claude to drive real impact</li>
<li>You're ambitious and entrepreneurially minded, drawn to the fast-paced dynamics of a 10-person team</li>
<li>You bring enthusiasm and energy to your work and are genuinely enjoyable to work with</li>
</ul>
<p>We value curiosity, commercial drive, and the ambition to build something that lasts. You'll thrive here if you're as energized by a strategic conversation as you are by closing a deal.</p>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Real MD scope from day one, with room to grow with the company</li>
<li>The opportunity to shape and drive our strategic growth</li>
<li>A founder who is a genuine thought partner: collaborative, direct, and invested in your success</li>
<li>Work on the topics that matter: AI, innovation, and the future of work</li>
<li>A diverse, ambitious team with genuine energy and camaraderie</li>
<li>Competitive fixed salary plus meaningful performance bonus</li>
<li>Flexible work setup: office in Berlin Mitte combined with home office</li>
</ul>
<p>We're looking forward to meeting you.</p>
