About the Role
This is a hands-on internship or working-student role at an early-stage B2B SaaS company building an AI-native procurement platform for industrial manufacturers. You will work directly with the CEO in Berlin, owning high-volume outbound outreach and helping lay the foundations of the enterprise sales playbook. The role is central to generating real pipeline and gives you front-row exposure to how an early B2B startup sells to large enterprises.
What You'll Do
Run high-volume outbound outreach via email and LinkedIn to generate qualified enterprise conversations with procurement leaders at industrial manufacturers.
Research target accounts, identify the right contacts, and spot trigger events for timely, relevant outreach.
Write personalized cold emails and LinkedIn messages tailored to procurement decision-makers.
Manage and execute multi-touch sequences and follow-ups to maximize reply and conversion rates.
Track open rates, reply rates, and conversion metrics, and run weekly A/B tests to improve performance.
Enrich and maintain target account data in the CRM to keep it clean and actionable.
Prepare meeting materials including competitive research, company briefings, and tailored one-pagers.
Design and iterate on messaging experiments to inform the broader go-to-market playbook.
Join strategy discussions, product demos, and investor conversations for full business context.
Support ad-hoc tasks such as event prep, partnership research, market analysis, or deck updates as needed.
What We're Looking For
Current student or recent graduate in business, engineering, or a similarly rigorous field.
Professional written fluency in both German and English, with the ability to write sharp outreach and polished professional communications.
Comfortable owning high-volume outbound sales work as a core, recurring responsibility.
Highly organized, reliable, and able to execute repetitive work to a high standard with minimal supervision.
Evidence of entrepreneurial initiative, such as founding or contributing to a startup, club, side project, or other organization.
Experience researching target accounts, personalizing email or LinkedIn outreach, and managing follow-up sequences.
Ability to maintain CRM data and use outreach metrics or A/B tests to improve conversion.
Genuine curiosity about B2B enterprise sales, procurement workflows, or AI and how large companies buy software.
Based in Berlin and available to work from the office regularly (hybrid is possible).
Location
On-site with hybrid flexibility. Primary location is Berlin, Germany (Kreuzberg). Candidates must be Berlin-based. Visa sponsorship is not available.
