Jobbeschreibung

As our Founder's Associate, you'll work closely with the founders and the management team on a wide range of what the company does, from commercial- and product-related topics, to internal processes and everything in between.

You will sit close to where decisions get made, bring your own thinking to them, and take real ownership of the work that follows. At our size that adds up to a lot - most of what you touch will be visible to the whole company within weeks, days, or even hours.

Tasks

• Sales support: You support the commercial team across the whole sales process and help keep a pipeline of qualified, interested leads moving.
• Pitches and presentations: You build convincing pitch decks, proposals and sales materials for clients and for internal use.
• Product demos: You present our solutions to clients and show what they actually do for them.
• Demand generation: You help shape how we reach new clients - campaigns, events, discovery meetings - working with our team and our external partners.
• Analysis and business cases: You put numbers behind commercial decisions and turn data into something the team can act on.
• Internal business development: You get involved in how the company runs, improve processes and take out the manual work that eats people's time.
• AI and automation: You use AI tools to make established processes faster, and help the rest of the team get as comfortable with them as you are.
• CRM: You keep our CRM genuinely useful (accurate, current, and actually used).
• And whatever else comes up: At our size, priorities move. Some of the most interesting work you do will be things nobody planned for at the start.

Requirements

• An ongoing or completed degree(s), ideally in business, economics, marketing, or in AI, ML, or data science with a business track alongside it. Some first practical experience.\"
• Business-fluent German and English. Proficiency in French and/or Italian is a strong plus.
• You make a point clearly and briefly, in writing and in front of people.
• Confident and proficient with Excel and PowerPoint.
• You're comfortable with data and complex numbers, and you enjoy getting to the bottom of things.
• You'd rather start, learn and adjust than wait for the perfect plan. You take decisions in your area and own the outcome.
• You pitch in wherever it's needed and no task is beneath you.
• You're at ease with a wide and shifting range of responsibilities, and you like it that way.
• You use AI tools regularly and keep pushing at what they can take off people's plates, you have a genuine interest in the new ways of working and capabilities of AI and tech.
• You're reliable, and you enjoy working with people.

You don't need to tick every box. If you're missing one and think you'd be great here anyway,

Benefits

• A varied and demanding role with a lot of freedom to shape it.
• Real responsibility from week one, and fast, direct feedback from people who care whether you get better.
• The chance to develop in the areas that genuinely interest you, we back people over processes.
• A strong, no-ego team spirit.
• Access to our own fleet: e-bikes and e-cars.
• Where the fit is right, our clear goal is to convert to a full-time role. That's the point of the internship, for us and for you.
