Founder's Associate Intern / Working Student

About the Role

An early-stage enterprise AI company in the procurement intelligence space is looking for a Founder's Associate Intern / Working Student to join their Berlin team. You'll work directly alongside the CEO, drive high-volume outbound outreach, and help shape the enterprise sales playbook from the ground up. This is a hands-on role for someone early in their career who wants to learn enterprise B2B sales by doing the real work — not by watching from the sidelines.

The company builds AI-native software that helps industrial manufacturers make smarter procurement decisions. They are at an early stage with real enterprise customers and growing fast.

What You'll Do

• Run outbound outreach at scale via email and LinkedIn to generate qualified enterprise pipeline 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 in both German and English.
• Manage and execute multi-touch sequences and follow-ups to maximize reply and conversion rates.
• Track and analyze outreach metrics (open rates, reply rates, conversions) and run A/B tests weekly to improve performance.
• Enrich, maintain, and clean target account data in the CRM.
• 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 GTM playbook.
• Sit in on strategy discussions, product demos, and investor conversations to gain full context.
• 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).
• Hands-on experience with outbound outreach at scale for enterprise customers — researching accounts, crafting personalized messages, managing multi-touch sequences across email and LinkedIn.
• Strong professional writing skills in both German and English — you can write a compelling cold email in German to a Head of Procurement and a polished investor update summary in English.
• Currently enrolled as a student or recently graduated in business, engineering, or a similarly rigorous field.
• Ability to support enterprise sales materials: competitive research, account briefings, tailored one-pagers.
• Experience using CRM systems for data enrichment, outreach tracking, and data hygiene.
• Willingness to take on varied startup tasks and thrive in a fast-paced, early-stage environment.

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with CRM platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce.
• Exposure to procurement processes or domain knowledge.
• Interest or experience in B2B enterprise sales or AI.
• Evidence of an entrepreneurial mindset — a side project, club leadership, startup involvement, or something you've built or organized.

Location

This role is based on-site in Berlin (Kreuzberg), with hybrid flexibility. Candidates must be available to work from the Berlin office. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
