About the Role
An early-stage enterprise AI startup in the B2B SaaS space is looking for a Founder's Associate Intern / Working Student to join the team in Berlin. You'll work directly alongside the CEO to build and execute the outbound sales engine from the ground up, driving real pipeline opportunities with procurement leaders at industrial manufacturers. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to learn enterprise sales from first principles and contribute meaningfully from day one.
What You'll Do
Run high-volume outbound outreach across email and LinkedIn to generate qualified enterprise conversations.
Research target accounts and identify the right contacts and trigger events for timely, personalized outreach.
Write sharp cold emails and LinkedIn messages tailored to procurement leaders at industrial manufacturers — in both German and English.
Manage and execute multi-touch sequences and follow-ups to maximize reply and conversion rates.
Track open rates, reply rates, and conversion metrics; run A/B tests to improve performance weekly.
Enrich, maintain, and keep target account data clean and actionable in the CRM.
Prepare meeting materials including competitive research, company briefings, and tailored one-pagers.
Design and iterate on messaging experiments to inform the company's go-to-market playbook.
Sit in on strategy discussions, product demos, and investor conversations to gain full business context.
Take on ad-hoc tasks such as event prep, partnership research, market analysis, or investor deck updates as needed.
What We're Looking For
Based in Berlin and available to work from the Kreuzberg office (hybrid possible) — this is a dealbreaker requirement.
Current student or recent graduate in business, engineering, or a similarly rigorous field.
Proven experience with outbound outreach at scale: researching target accounts, crafting personalized messages, and managing multi-touch sequences via email and LinkedIn.
Fluent professional writing in both German and English — you must be able to write a cold email in German to a Head of Procurement and an investor update in English.
Highly organized, reliable, and able to deliver consistent, high-quality work independently.
Entrepreneurial mindset with evidence of building or starting something (club, side project, startup, etc.).
Comfortable with CRM platforms (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce) for data enrichment, maintenance, and tracking.
Genuine curiosity about B2B sales, enterprise procurement workflows, or AI.
Nice to have: familiarity with procurement processes; prior exposure to enterprise sales or AI domains.
Location
This role is based on-site in Berlin, Germany (Kreuzberg), with hybrid flexibility possible. Candidates must be available to work from the Berlin office. Visa sponsorship is not available.
Compensation & Details
This is an internship / working student position. Compensation details will be discussed during the interview process. The role offers significant learning opportunities — including direct exposure to CEO-level strategy, investor conversations, and enterprise GTM execution — making it an exceptional launchpad for a career in B2B sales, startups, or venture.
