Job Description
### About the Role
An early-stage B2B SaaS startup in the procurement AI space is looking for a **Founder's Associate Intern / Working Student** to join their Berlin team. You'll work directly alongside the CEO to build and execute the enterprise sales playbook from the ground up — running high-volume outbound outreach, generating qualified pipeline with procurement leaders at industrial manufacturers, and learning enterprise sales from first principles.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who is excited about outbound sales, thrives in fast-paced environments, and wants to see how an early-stage startup grows from zero to traction.
### What You'll Do
* Run outbound outreach at scale across email and LinkedIn to fill the top of the pipeline with qualified enterprise conversations.
* Research target accounts and identify the right contacts and trigger events for timely, relevant outreach.
* Write personalized cold emails and LinkedIn messages aimed at 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 outreach performance weekly.
* Enrich, maintain, and keep target account data clean and actionable in the CRM.
* Help prepare meeting materials including competitive research, company briefings, and tailored one-pagers for specific accounts.
* 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 context on the business.
* Take on ad-hoc startup tasks such as event prep, partnership research, market analysis, or investor deck updates as needed.
### What We're Looking For
**Must-haves:**
* Based in Berlin and available to work from the Kreuzberg office (hybrid arrangement possible).
* Experience with outbound outreach at scale — researching target accounts, crafting personalized messages, and managing multi-touch sequences via email and LinkedIn.
* Strong professional writing in both **German and English**; able to write a cold email in German to a Head of Procurement and an investor update in English.
* Currently enrolled as a student or a recent graduate in business, engineering, or a similarly rigorous field.
* Comfortable using CRM tools to manage data, track outreach metrics, and maintain data hygiene.
* Willingness to take on ad-hoc tasks and learn quickly in a fast-moving startup environment.
* Entrepreneurial mindset — evidence of building, organizing, or starting something (club, side project, startup, etc.).
* Highly organized, reliable, and able to deliver quality work independently without close supervision.
**Nice-to-haves:**
* Familiarity with CRM platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce.
* Some exposure to procurement processes or domain knowledge.
* Genuine interest in B2B enterprise sales, AI, or SaaS.
### Location
This role is based **on-site / hybrid in Berlin, Germany** (Kreuzberg). Candidates must be available to work from the Berlin office. **Visa sponsorship is not available** for this position.
### Compensation & Benefits
Compensation details are available upon application. This is an internship / working student position offering:
* Direct mentorship from the CEO and exposure to all aspects of an early-stage B2B startup.
* Hands-on enterprise sales experience with real ownership from day one.
* Front-row seat to strategy, product, and investor conversations.
