Store Manager Berlin

Hello!

We are nydo: a well-funded, founder-led D2C label that is rethinking the premium sofa. We combine Italian-inspired designs, honest European craftsmanship and uncompromising seating comfort — timeless furniture that lasts. Sold through a closely integrated online & offline experience. We act fast, think big and scale across Europe.

Why ambitious people love nydo

1. Real responsibility from day 1. You join a small leadership team and own your results (not just tasks). Your work shapes product, operations, and growth, and you see impact in weeks, not years.
2. Speed & Scale. We are funded and ready to grow; fast decisions, big projects, and enough room to test boldly.
3. Premium Product & Clear Mission. We sell well-designed sofas: high-quality materials, long guarantees, and service that turns customers into fans.
4. Learning close to the founders. Work directly with the founders and investors, present to stakeholders, and write the growth playbook with us.

Our values (how we work)

• Design: elegant, minimalist, concise.
• Comfort: the product promise — everything else is support.
• Ownership: we deliver, and we take responsibility.
• Curiosity & Speed: test, measure, learn, repeat.
• Hands-on: 80/20 thinking and active implementation.
