Jobbeschreibung

Overview

You’ve worked in corporate. You’ve seen the problem. Now build the solution.

We're looking for corporate aviation and ground handling professionals who have always had the drive to build something more.

Beam is the corporate venture builder of BEUMER Group — a global leader in intralogistics. We build startups that solve critical problems across the logistics and industrial sectors.

We are looking for experienced entrepreneurs to co-found startups with us. As an Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR), you’ll work through a validation phase for up to 18 months to test and prove one of our pre-validated venture opportunities. You will collaborate with Beam’s internal team and BEUMER experts to deeply understand the problem space, define the solution, and prepare for company formation.

Your mission

Baggie.ai is an AI-powered baggage tracing platform that automates the currently broken, manual processes behind mishandled luggage in global aviation. With millions of bags delayed or lost every year — costing airlines over €5 billion annually — Baggie.ai aims to improve the passenger experience.

Validated with 30+ industry interviews and showing real traction with pilots planned, Baggie.ai is now ready to find the right entrepreneurial leader to scale this opportunity.

What you’ll do

• Own the business vision: Deepen the commercial and operational understanding of the mishandled baggage space, refining Baggie.ai’s business model and GTM strategy.
• Drive industry engagement: Conduct customer interviews across airlines, airports, and ground handlers to validate use cases and pricing.
• Pilot to product: Execute proof-of-concept trials with commercial partners, and translate learnings into an MVP roadmap.
• Shape a scalable venture: Develop the startup’s legal, operational, and commercial foundations with support from Beam’s venture team.
• Position Baggie.ai as a strategic asset for BEUMER Group: Work with BG’s Airport Systems unit to align the tech stack and open new revenue verticals with airlines and handlers.

Who you are

• Background in aviation, airline operations, or airport innovation (e.g., former roles at Lufthansa Innovation Hub, SITA, Swissport, etc.)
• Experience in consulting, project management, or innovation within complex B2B environments
• Strong understanding of AI, logistics tech, or SaaS platforms is a plus — but curiosity and fast learning matter more than code
• You are located in Berlin, Germany

Strategic Qualities

• Comfortable working with AI teams, product designers, and corporate stakeholders
• Ability to build strong narratives, pitch with clarity, and gain buy-in from airline execs or BEUMER stakeholders
• Thrives in ambiguity and is motivated by building a “first-of-its-kind” solution

Why build with Beam

• At least €2,500 gross monthly stipend (with increase based on milestones)
• Full access to Beam’s research, design, and venture development support
• Warm intros to BEUMER and partner airport ecosystems
• Office space and peer community at Beam’s Berlin HQ
• The potential to become Managing Director and equity co-founder of Baggie.ai upon successful validation

Why this might NOT be a good fit for you

• You want to build your own idea — Baggie is Beam's validated thesis
• You’re not based in Berlin or cannot work in-person 3+ days/week
• You don’t have experience or a genuine interest in aviation, logistics, or enterprise B2B
• You are not located in Berlin, Germany
