The posting
What we do
Merantix Capital is an early-stage AI investor and venture studio backing ambitious AI founders across Europe.
Our roots lie in the Merantix Venture Studio, where we have been supporting and building AI-native companies since 2016 - from idea validation and co-founder matching to first customers, team building and follow-on financing. Today, we combine this company-building DNA with a dedicated early-stage AI fund, investing in outstanding AI pre-seed companies.
We are part of the Merantix Group, one of Europe's leading AI platforms, including the AI Campus in Berlin, Merantix Momentum, the AI House Davos and a deep network of founders, engineers, industry partners, investors and AI experts.
Our ambition is to be more than a capital provider: we help founders validate ideas, build teams, access customers, refine their product and go-to-market strategy, and scale AI companies from day one.
Your role
We are looking for an exceptional individual to own how Merantix Capital shows up in the world, with one goal above all: making Merantix Capital the first address for the best AI founders in Europe.
This is an entrepreneurial, high-ownership role for a hands-on operator. You will decide what we talk about, ship content across our channels, turn what happens in our investment team, portfolio and on the AI Campus into stories and formats founders care about, and keep sharpening our positioning as the AI market moves.
The best candidates have built and run marketing or content at a startup or scale-up, run a media product, or grown an audience from zero. You follow the AI space closely because you are curious about it, you use AI tools every day to get more done, and you think about impact and audience, not press releases.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Content & editorial: Decide what Merantix Capital should say and when. Track what is happening in AI, spot the topics worth taking a position on, and turn them into posts, pieces and event formats. Source stories proactively from our investment team, portfolio and studio instead of waiting for briefs.
- Owned channels: Run our website, blog, newsletter, LinkedIn, and any new channels you choose to launch. Set the calendar, ship content consistently, and build the AI workflows and automations that let a small team publish at a high cadence.
- Founder storytelling: Work directly with our investment team and portfolio founders to shape the stories worth telling (investments, portfolio milestones, technical deep dives etc.)
- Founder attraction: Build the formats and touchpoints that bring founders and deals to us and keep top AI talent in our orbit. Track what works and do more of it.
- Positioning: Keep sharpening how Merantix Capital is perceived by founders, engineers, LPs and co-investors, and translate our venture studio and early-stage fund model into a clear, differentiated narrative. In a market that changes every week, this is part of the job, not a one-off project.
- Events: Shape our event presence together with the AI Campus team, from founder dinners and technical sessions on the campus to industry events. Decide what we show up for, what we host, and what we skip.
- PR: Build on our existing relationships with journalists and industry voices to make sure our fund and portfolio news stand out.
Your profile
Required:
- Hands-on marketing, content or growth experience at a startup or scale-up, in a role where you owned the channels and drove the results yourself. Founder, creator or media backgrounds are equally welcome
- Demonstrable track record of having built an audience or a brand, with concrete results you can point to
- Close to the pulse of AI: You already follow the right founders, funds, researchers and publications in AI and the European tech ecosystem, and have a view on where the conversation is going
- Editorial judgment: You can tell which topics matter and why, and turn them into sharp, opinionated content fast. Excellent writer in English
- AI-native way of working: You use AI tools daily and enjoy building simple automations to get more done. No engineering background required, a business background is fine
Strong plus:
- Founder or co-founder experience, including ventures that did not succeed
- Experience marketing to a technical or founder audience
- Experience with community building, events or PR. Not a must: you will work closely with the AI Campus team, who run events at scale
Personal profile:
- Builder: You rather ship something imperfect today than circulate a strategy deck for weeks.
- Curious: You read a lot, notice what is changing in AI early, and turn it into something we can publish or host
- High tolerance for context switching: You can write a thesis piece in the morning, sit with a portfolio founder at lunch, and run an event on the AI Campus that evening
- Strong opinions, weakly held: You have a clear point of view on what good looks like, and you update it when the evidence changes
- Low ego: You are successful when our founders, our fund and our ecosystem are visible and respected
What we offer
A high-ownership role at the intersection of brand, community and AI venture building and investing, with direct exposure to our investment team, portfolio founders and the broader Merantix ecosystem. You will set the strategy, you will execute it, and you will see the results in how founders, LPs and the wider AI ecosystem talk about Merantix Capital.
You will work from the AI Campus in Berlin, alongside the Merantix Group, our portfolio companies and one of the densest AI talent ecosystems in Europe.
At Merantix, we value ownership, intellectual honesty, low ego and high ambition. You will be encouraged to bring your own ideas, test them quickly, and refine them through close collaboration with experienced founders, operators, investors and external experts.
Due to the volume of applications we receive, warm introductions are helpful but not required. We review all applications carefully.
