About the Role

This role sits at the heart of a pre-seed AI energy management startup, working directly alongside the founding team to build the go-to-market engine for energy-intensive enterprise customers across the DACH region. You'll blend hands-on outbound sales with strategic project ownership and operational support — helping shape company direction from day one.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain an enterprise sales pipeline across DACH in close partnership with the founders.
  • Run outbound execution including cold calls, emails, and LinkedIn outreach with tailored messaging.
  • Refine ICP, targeting strategy, and value propositions using market and prospect feedback.
  • Produce high-quality sales materials — decks, one-pagers, follow-ups, and business cases — to improve conversion rates.
  • Join discovery calls to surface customer insights and translate them into sharper positioning.
  • Support investor updates, reporting, and strategic initiatives as an extension of the founding team.
  • Lead high-priority special projects end-to-end, such as market research, partnerships, or internal initiatives.
  • Contribute to marketing content and event preparation including newsletters, social posts, and messaging.
  • Continuously iterate on team processes and operate autonomously in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of experience in enterprise outbound sales or demand generation, with a strong track record building top-of-funnel pipeline in the DACH region.
  • Demonstrated ability to own cross-functional projects end-to-end in a startup or similarly unstructured environment.
  • Experience preparing investor updates and supporting founder-level business reporting.
  • Skilled at creating and delivering sales enablement materials and refining messaging from market feedback.
  • Proficient with tools such as HubSpot, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Notion, and Google Workspace.
  • Knowledge of energy markets, or a clear and proven ability to rapidly get up to speed on complex technical domains.
  • Familiarity with enterprise sales methodologies (e.g. MEDDICC or similar) is a plus.
  • Background in energy sector partnerships or procurement is advantageous.
  • Fluent in German; comfortable working in a DACH-focused commercial environment.
