Millions of students use our AI learning companion daily, making us the biggest AI learning companion in Europe. We just closed 30M$ in funding to crack the the hard part: winning America. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, and we’re in pole position to win it.
Market leadership in this new, up and coming market will be decided in the next 6-18 months.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company at the core of the challenge.
YOUR MISSION
Own US growth.
We hit millions of users daily in Europe through pure organic growth. During the last 1.5 years we built massive traction on Social Media, +250M organic views / month on TikTok, Instagram etc. Now we want to take this relentless testing approach and viral playbooks to the US and scale it as far as we can. You will be a key role and owning the growth together with our CEO and growth team in Berlin.
What you will do:
Own the entire US growth engine - Test, break, rebuild. Find growth angles that work, kill the ones that don’t, move fast.
Hack traction in the noisiest market on earth - UGC content, creator programs, viral loops, new growth hacks, whatever it takes & should be tested
Build and run our creator ecosystem - Find the people who can move the needle, turn them into growth machines
Build up & lead cracked creators and growth hackers
Spot patterns in the data and turn them into growth experiments before anyone else does

Knowunity is a name that US students actually know and you hugely contributed to set Knowunity up to be the dominating player in the K12 AI-learning space. Most K12 Apps are focused on homework solving, Knowunity shall be a true learning companion for students.
YOUR STORY
You are the type of person who:
Thinks and acts like a founder – You take initiative, see opportunities, and turn ideas into results without waiting for detailed instructions
