Job description

Your mission at Mercanis

Consulting or a fast-growing tech startup? Why choose one when you can have both. You\'ve just finished your degree, or you\'re about to, and you\'re still weighing up consulting and startup?

Welcome to the Mercanis GTM Scaling Program, UK Track. We give you twelve months of structured training with the strategic rigour of a top consultancy, combined with the speed, ownership and direct impact of a fast-growing B2B AI startup. And from day one, you are part of something bigger than a training programme. You are part of expanding Mercanis into an entirely new market. Everything you learn and build in Berlin feeds directly into opening the UK, one of our most important international markets, and you are there for that expansion from the very start. You go through the whole go-to-market universe, learn to develop and execute complex B2B sales strategies at startup pace, and grow into an Account Executive who is ready to help lead a market expansion rather than simply inherit a territory someone else built. Ideally, you already bring some first experience in B2B sales, whether from an internship, working student role, or a previous job. By the end, you won\'t just know how to sell. You will know why customers buy, how markets get built from scratch, and how to grow a business sustainably in a brand new country.
