Entry Level
About the role
- Act as the CEO’s right hand, supporting and driving strategic and operational initiatives
- Direct exposure to customers and potential partners — build relationships, earn trust, and help close new deals
- Establish the structures, processes, and culture of a rapidly scaling AI company
- Develop and execute our sales and go-to-market strategy: from designing the approach to delivering the initial pitch and closing deals
- Collaborate closely with our AI product team to align commercial priorities with advanced product development
- Shape and refine our storytelling and messaging for clients, partners, and investors
- Own high-impact, high-autonomy strategic projects
Requirements
- 1–2 internships at Tier-A organizations: VC-backed startups, top consulting firms, investment banks, VC funds, or similar
- Structured, analytical mindset: you solve problems and create scalable systems
- Entrepreneurial drive: you thrive in ambiguity, enjoy building from scratch, and are outcome-oriented
- Curiosity and passion for AI, automation, and modernizing traditional industries
- Strong communication skills: you can pitch, negotiate, and persuade stakeholders
- Nice to have: early-stage startup or company-building experience; exposure to AI, SaaS, or B2B enterprise sales; experience working with investors or C-level stakeholders
Benefits
- Real AI, real impact: we don’t do AI theater. We build agentic systems that deliver tangible results and transform an industry that’s been dormant for decades.
- No-nonsense culture: no politics, no empty promises — just clarity, ownership, and results.
- Steep learning curve: work side-by-side with former BCG product leaders and AI experts. Learn how to build and scale a venture-backed startup from the inside.
- Location: based in Berlin (3+ days per week on-site), hybrid-friendly, with regular offsites and direct founder exposure.
- Timing: start from March 2026 for a 3–6 month full-time internship with competitive compensation.
- High-velocity environment: we move fast, iterate quickly, and execute relentlessly — because we’re here to win.
- Plus: all the perks you’d expect — and the momentum of building something that truly matters.
