About the role

  • You will work directly with the CEO on GreenPocket's strategic direction.
  • With your broad interests, you will identify market-relevant key elements over several months to acquire new direct customers from a specific segment (e.g., retail, municipalities, and the housing sector).
  • From your insights you will derive concrete to-dos and proactively initiate first contacts with potential customers.
  • You welcome the challenge of regularly dealing with new or amended legal requirements (including the Energy Efficiency Regulation) and assessing their impact on the company.
  • You are passionate about entrepreneurship and interested in exploring growth opportunities in new markets.
  • Market and competitor analyses are exactly your thing.
  • You enjoy working on market entry concepts, business models for enterprise customers, and innovations; you create Ideal Customer Profiles and sometimes take creative approaches.
  • You independently carry out your market-relevant strategic projects, but know when to involve internal stakeholders such as Sales, Product Management, Development, and Controlling, and you also engage with external service providers.
  • You will impress us with your creative skills when developing marketing campaigns and customer acquisition strategies.
  • You discuss all your results directly with the CEO.

Requirements

  • You have completed a degree in business administration, economics, or a management-focused program — or hold a comparable qualification that convinces us.
  • You are a sharp thinker, understand relationships between elements and can analyze them quickly.
  • Ideally, you have already gained initial experience in Business Development at a software company, preferably in a startup or consulting environment.
  • It would be an advantage if you are interested in topics around energy efficiency and AI or already have experience in this area.
  • With your excellent PowerPoint skills you captivate others with your presentations, and you are also very confident in Excel.
  • With your very good German and English skills you are comfortable in any conversation with potential customers.
Benefits
  • Close collaboration with the CEO and the sales team
  • A permanent employment contract with the opportunity to help shape the green startup scene
  • Startup atmosphere with plenty of scope for initiative, flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths
  • Flexible working hours and, of course, the possibility to work from home
  • Take Your GreenDay! Leave the everyday behind and devote one day a month entirely to your own ideas
  • Regular team events and table-football breaks with motivated and friendly colleagues
  • Unlimited coffee and water supplies as well as regular fresh fruit
  • Culturally, sportingly and transport-wise very well connected location
