Design & Growth Associate

We are Plantclub

Bringing plants into your workspace should be easy - that’s where Plantclub comes in. We offer flexible plant rentals across Germany and Vienna, handling everything from design to care, so your team can simply enjoy the benefits.

We’re more than a service. Plantclub is a growing community of design-led companies shaping healthier, more beautiful workplaces. Our memberships adapt as teams grow, offering workshops, perks, and expert support along the way.

Our plants thrive in a living cycle - over 85% are refreshed, repurposed, or rehomed because a healthier workspace should care for the planet too.

Why This Role Is Unique

• About the Role
• This is an 80% Design / 20% Growth hybrid role — ideal for someone creative, structured, and commercially aware.
• You’ll primarily support and deliver high-quality plant concepts for forward-thinking employers, while also contributing to growth initiatives that expand our reach and partnerships.
• You’ll typically manage 5–8 active projects in different pipeline stages, balancing design quality with speed, ownership, and follow-through.
• 80% Design & Project Ownership
• You will:
• Design and deliver tailored plant concepts — from intro call and site visit to proposal and contract close
• Conduct site visits and client consultations in Berlin
• Manage execution end-to-end: procurement, suppliers, timelines, installation coordination
• Own smaller projects independently and support larger ones alongside the Senior Designers
• Maintain structured weekly pipeline reporting and documentation
• Improve workflows across Design, Procurement, and Operations
• Ensure smooth handovers to Operations after contract close
• Support installation days (including physical plant handling of 25kg and ladder work)
• Build and maintain relationships with architecture and design partners
• Success in this role means delivering concepts on time, maintaining clear communication, and ensuring seamless handovers to Operations.
• You can expect regular on-site consultations and installation days in Berlin, with occasional travel within Germany.
• 20% Growth & Market Expansion
• You’ll also support our Growth team by:
• Researching and identifying design-led companies, platforms, and communities aligned with our B2B audience
• Supporting partnership outreach (research, tailored messaging, tracking responses)
• Assisting with partner campaigns and design collaborations
• Contributing to LinkedIn content (project highlights, partner features, behind-the-scenes installs)
• Helping gather member stories and turning them into structured case studies
• Supporting market expansion research for new cities (competitor mapping, pricing insights, positioning analysis)
• Coordinating smaller seasonal or experimental growth initiatives
• This part of the role is hands-on and practical — focused on execution, not just ideas.
• This isn’t a pure designer role. It isn’t a pure growth role. It’s for someone who wants to:
• Design beautiful spaces
• Understand how those spaces drive business
• Build systems that scale
• Contribute to both creativity and commercial impact

• Fluent in English (C1+) and confident in German (B1+)
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. design, architecture, horticulture, business, or similar)
• 1+ year of experience in a startup, design-led, or customer-facing environment (architecture, interiors, creative agency, etc.)
• Comfortable managing multiple projects in parallel
• Structured and organized — you enjoy documentation and follow-through
• Commercially aware — you understand that design must convert
• Confident communicating with clients (email + phone in DE & EN)
• Comfortable with Google Workspace, Figma, and digital documentation tools
• Knowledgeable about plants and confident in varied office conditions
• Physically capable (lifting up to 25 kg independently and doing ladder work during installations)
• Berlin as we do not offer relocation
• Proactive, independent, and solutions-oriented
• Bonus if you’re interested in:
• Sustainability and circular systems
• Workplace culture and office design
• Scaling startups
