The opportunity

We are looking for AI-native builders who want to build and operate a business from the ground up — not simply manage an existing team or project.

You can apply as an individual or as a team of 1–3 people. You will take ownership of one specific business opportunity, validate it, launch it and grow it into a profitable company.

The business challenge for this market

1. Win every public education tender
2. Matura for external candidates
3. Fill our centres in the morning
4. Holiday camps at scale
5. A creator network for performance marketing
6. AI agent for lead follow-up and win-back

What you'll do

• Take ownership of one of the identified business opportunities.

• Build and launch a revenue-generating business from scratch.

• Use AI tools, automation and GoStudent's infrastructure to move fast.

• Validate customer demand, develop the offering and acquire customers.

• Own the commercial performance, operations and growth of your business.

• Continuously improve the business based on customer feedback and data.

What we're are looking for

• You are an entrepreneurial builder who enjoys turning ideas into real businesses.

• You are AI-native and use AI tools to build, automate and execute faster.

• You are hands-on: you build, test, launch and iterate yourself.

• You have strong ownership and are comfortable operating independently.

• You are commercially minded and focused on generating revenue.

• You are fluent in English; some opportunities may require the local language.

• Previous experience in education is not required.

What GoStudents provides

• Access to more than 200,000 customers and an established network of 850+ locations.

• Existing infrastructure, licenses, sales capabilities and operational support.

• Access to BrutalOS, GoStudent's AI agent platform.

• The opportunity to build on an established platform rather than starting entirely from zero.

The business model

This is an entrepreneurial ownership opportunity, not a traditional salaried position.

• You own 75% of the business; GoStudent owns 25%.

• There is no fixed salary. Your income comes from the earnings and profits of the business.

• GoStudent charges a fee on revenue routed through its channels.

• From year three, GoStudent may acquire a majority stake at a pre-agreed fixed EBITDA multiple, paid in GoStudent shares.

Location and setup

• Location: Vienna, Austria

• Working model: Full-time, on-site

• Team size: Individual applicants or teams of 1–3

• Working language: English, with local language requirements depending on the business opportunity

• Start date: January 2027
