Your Impact

Location: Berlin, Invalidenstraße

Duration: 6 months, start in January 2027

  • Build pipeline: Identify promising businesses, reach decision-makers and create opportunities through calls, email, LinkedIn and new approaches you want to test.
  • Learn to sell from first contact to close: Understand customer needs, deliver product demos, prepare proposals and handle objections. With coaching from the team, take increasing ownership of negotiations and closing.
  • Build new acquisition engines: Find an untapped customer segment, test a partnership or develop a new outreach campaign. Own the experiment from the initial hypothesis to the first customers.
  • Turn results into repeatable processes: Work out why an approach succeeds, document what you learn and build playbooks the team can use and scale.
  • Use data to get better: Track your pipeline, conversion rates and won revenue. Identify where deals stall and use the findings to improve your next conversation or experiment.
  • Put AI to work: Use AI and automation to accelerate research, personalise outreach and streamline follow-ups, giving you more time with customers.

What you bring

  • You want a steep learning curve: You’re ready to learn by doing, take on unfamiliar challenges and apply direct feedback quickly.
  • You thrive at a fast pace: You turn ideas into action, make decisions with incomplete information and take responsibility for moving things forward.
