Head of Products & Services (W/M/D)

In this key role, you will play a central part in shaping the future of our product and service portfolio. You will identify new market opportunities, turn promising ideas into innovative offerings, and drive their successful implementation and commercial growth.

Together with your team, you will win exciting new projects, develop new products and formats, and help shape the strategic evolution of our event and residency offerings.
You look beyond what exists today: spotting emerging trends, unlocking new business opportunities, and turning ideas into sustainable growth. Working closely with the management team, you will benefit from short decision-making processes, a high degree of ownership, and the opportunity to have a tangible impact on the direction and development of our organization.

• Build what the Market Needs: You identify unmet market needs, turn insights into new product and service ideas, and rapidly validate what creates real value for corporate clients. You don’t just develop concepts — you bring them to market.
• Scale the Residency Program: Our Residency offering currently focuses primarily on space and infrastructure. You’ll take it much further: develop compelling additional value propositions, build a strong resident experience, and significantly grow the number of Residents in our Space.
• Turn our Space into a Business: You’ll take our events business to the next level. Instead of simply renting out event space and providing basic services, you’ll build profitable corporate event products, attractive sponsorship packages, and innovative partner formats that unlock new revenue streams.
• Lead the Team. Drive the Numbers: You’ll lead a small, interdisciplinary team both professionally and disciplinarily. You turn strategy into clear goals and KPIs, create focus and momentum, and take ownership of revenue generation and commercial performance.
• Build the Sales Engine: You are the architect of our sales approach. Together with your team, you develop the arguments, pitch decks, value propositions, and pricing models that win customers. You validate what works in the market, continuously improve it, and turn it into a repeatable sales engine.

• A Proven Track Record: You bring 5+ years of professional experience, ideally combining a consulting background with hands-on execution in a fast-paced, innovative environment — whether that’s an agency, startup, scale-up, or venture builder.
• From Ideas to Impact: You’re a doer who gets things moving. You turn product and service strategies into action, take concepts from the drawing board to real-world implementation, and build solutions that scale. You’re driven by tangible outcomes, measurable business impact, and creating value that lasts.
• B2B & Ecosystem Mindset: You understand how industrial and corporate clients make decisions, allocate budgets, and get things done. You know how to navigate both corporate and mid-market environments — and you have a sharp instinct for turning physical spaces, communities, and broader ecosystems into compelling and commercially viable offerings.
• Lead from the Front: You have experience leading and developing interdisciplinary teams and know how to bring people together around a shared ambition. You give teams direction, create momentum, and empower people to take ownership.
• Be Where the Action Is: You’re excited to work predominantly on-site at our brand-new Gravity Space in Heilbronn. Being physically present, connecting with people, and shaping things together is part of what motivates you.
• Communicate at C-Level: You’re confident engaging, communicating, and negotiating with senior decision-makers. You can hold your own in high-stakes conversations and bring fluent German and English skills (C1/C2), both written and spoken.

A broad and diverse range of responsibilities with a highly varied set of tasks:

• You play a key role in the success of the next generation of thriving startups.
• You help us develop a first-class network of organizations and individuals in the startup world.
• You are part of a passionate, energetic, diverse, and international team in an exciting and fun environment.
• You actively contribute to shaping our curious, open-minded, productive, and startup-friendly community.
• You enjoy long-term personal development opportunities and a competitive compensation package.
