About the Job
We are currently looking for a Builder who will have an essential role in building our ventures from the start till the end. Our team of builders is the heart of Byld, the reason why they need to know about supporting, leading, and being part of the team of each company we build, from business to operations to marketing.
Devoted to “Business”, “Growth” and “Product”, they work together to successfully carry out all the ventures. Each Builder can be specialized in a certain field in the beginning but moreover, all of them can learn from the other disciplines to be 360 builders: Truly Rockstars!
The perfect candidate should have an exquisite mix of entrepreneurial experience plus practical knowledge of the venture's design journey applying design thinking, customer development, or lean startup methodologies to succeed and sometimes fail. Yes, this is not always a 1Billion story!
You can find some good stories of what we do (and how we do it!) right here: https://byld.xyz/cases/
Specific Conditions:
- Start Date: October-November 2024
- Location: Madrid
- Contract Duration: Fix Term, 6-8 months.

As a Builder, you will:
- Establish people-centric business strategies for our ventures, fusing the practices of design and strategy to structure the business impact of design at a strategic, operational, and organizational level.
- Uncover user needs through research, develop deep insights, generate business concepts, and craft how people will interact with the products and services we build.
- Design and build digital validation artifacts, as well as prototypes and final products, to validate our business concepts. Unleash the power of venture building and our validation methodology using no-code tools and get out of the building to test any experiment as a true street fighter.
- Pivot as often as the business model canvas requires to get the problem-solution fit as quickly as possible. Less is more and frugality is our best traveling companion.
It’s great if you have a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in business or a related field, but the most important characteristics are as follows:
- You have around 3-5 years of experience in innovation consultancy, corporate innovation, corporate strategy, or entrepreneurship experience (as staff, founder, or C-level in a startup or as a part of a venture builder). If you have some experience in a side project, that is something we love.
- You have a user-centric lover approach/mindset and business and service design experience.
- You are comfortable with no code tools and are used to applying them daily: Adalo, Figma, Card.io, Airtable, or any toolkit you can bring to the table is more than welcome.
- You are creative, extremely curious, and eager to learn.
- You are a fan of metrics and analytically driven data.
And we will bring out the red carpet for you if…
- You are not scared of IT Teams, Product Teams Analytics, and Digital Marketing.
- You hold strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- You can work with the AARRR Sales Metrics Diagram (Acquisition – Activation – Retention – Referral - Revenue).
- Detail is everything to you.
- You are capable of interpreting quantitative data and understanding the needs of users thanks to interviews and questionnaires.
- You have some experience in information architecture, screen flow, searching models, development of personas, wireframe design, prototyping, interaction…
