(Senior) Manager Strategy & Corporate Development (m/f/d)

bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you.

As a senior member of the Founders' Office at bunch, you will take the company's highest-priority projects from "we need to do this" to done, owning cross-functional initiatives end-to-end.

Your Role

• Lead high-importance, high-urgency strategic projects end-to-end — defining the problem, coordinating stakeholders (including senior leadership), running the analysis yourself, and driving projects to completion.
• Take charge of initiatives that cut across departments, stepping into commercial, product, or operations as needed to ensure alignment and delivery of outcomes.
• Conduct opportunity assessments to provide recommendations that support the Founders in identifying new areas for growth and evaluating new markets, business lines, and products.
• Depending on scale, run one large project with multiple workstreams or several projects in parallel.
• Identify what the company should work on next and make it happen.

About You

• 3–5 years of experience in high-velocity environments (top-tier strategy consulting, investment banking, or a high-growth VC-backed startup), ideally with hands-on startup experience.
• Independent and proactive — you identify what needs to happen and move it forward without waiting for direction.
• Able to bring the right people in early, build alignment across functions and with senior stakeholders without needing authority, and manage multiple workstreams without dropping balls.
• Strong analytical and critical thinking skills — able to break down ambiguous problems, identify root causes, and turn data into actionable insights.
• Experienced in designing and executing analyses end-to-end, QA'ing your own work rigorously, and delivering outputs that drive decisions.
• Structures recommendations with a clear "so what" — quantifies trade-offs, flags risks, and proposes a preferred path.
• Comfortable pushing back on work that doesn't serve the company's top priorities, including your own.
• Curious about new tools and quick to adopt what makes you faster — AI-assisted research, drafting, and analysis — while understanding their limits and building your own workflows around them.
• Fluent English required; German is a plus.

Workplace & Benefits

• Competitive compensation package.
• Customizable benefits package (wellbeing, sport, mobility, food, and more).
• 28 days of vacation, plus 2 company days and local public holidays.
• Remote-flexible hybrid (3 days/week in office).
• Up to 4 remote calendar weeks a year.
