JawBuddy is a CE-marked medical product for digital self-therapy of bruxism and TMJ disorders (CMD). The app combines augmented reality with medical algorithms to guide users through targeted jaw, neck, and posture exercises — with precise feedback on every movement.
Built by our team in Leipzig, JawBuddy has 2,000+ active users, our first health insurance partnerships are ready to launch, and we are currently closing our pre-seed round with VCs and experienced business angels. Now we are turning a working medical product into a growing company — that is what this role is for.
You work directly with the founders as their operational right hand, with real responsibility from week one. You own 2–3 projects at a time and share your results directly with the founders every week.
- Drive the development of our next MVP end-to-end — partner scouting, selection, and steering
- Build and run the operational processes behind our health insurance go-lives
- Help prepare our next financing round: data room, investor pipeline, and materials
- Turn open questions into structured recommendations the team can act on that week
Must-haves:
- Enrolled as a student, with 18–20 hours/week available during the semester
- German (B2 or above) plus strong written English - our partner and insurance work is German-market
- Structured, self-directed working style: you break fuzzy problems into plans and close loops unprompted
- Reliable coordination of external partners: follow-ups, deadlines, and early flags instead of surprises
Nice to have (none of these are required - if the must-haves fit, please apply):
- First exposure to startups, consulting, venture building, or healthcare
- No-code, spreadsheet, or light analytics skills (e.g. Notion, Zapier, Airtable)
- Curiosity about how startup fundraising works - you will learn the rest here
- €15–19/hour, remote-first, flexible around lectures and exam phases
- Real ownership with weekly founder feedback - across product, operations, and a live financing round
- A concrete path: working students who excel here are our first choice for full-time roles post-fundraise
Apply with your CV and 5–10 sentences on a project you drove end-to-end — the goal, what you did, and the outcome. No cover letter needed. We review applications on a rolling basis and reply to everyone within 5 business days. First step is a 30-minute video call with one of the founders.
