Founder's Associate (GTM/Sales)

About the Role

This is a frontline GTM role at a seed-stage B2B AI SaaS startup, working directly alongside the CEO to bring the product to the right customers. You'll own outbound sales from top-of-funnel to trial, and your work will directly shape how the company scales — with AI-enabled processes at the core.

What You'll Do

  • Craft and run outbound campaigns via email, LinkedIn, and phone to generate leads and book discovery calls.

  • Lead and participate in discovery calls, qualify high-potential prospects, and guide them into the trial experience.

  • Build and maintain lead lists, manage the CRM pipeline, and track every stage with accurate reporting.

  • Test and iterate on new growth channels to identify the highest-impact acquisition strategies.

  • Continuously improve conversion rates by analysing pipeline data and refining messaging.

  • Leverage AI tools to enhance outreach, automate workflows, and help build AI-native internal processes.

What We're Looking For

  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in sales, business development, or GTM roles executing outbound campaigns and managing pipelines.

  • Native-level fluency in German — this is a firm requirement.

  • Proven track record running outbound outreach via email, LinkedIn, and calls to book and lead discovery calls.

  • Experience developing and executing GTM strategy in a startup or early-stage environment.

  • Hands-on experience with CRM platforms and outbound sales workflows including pipeline tracking and reporting.

  • Demonstrated ability to generate measurable, quantifiable results in past roles or side projects.

  • Comfortable using AI and LLM-powered tools in day-to-day work; eager to push what's possible.

  • Ownership mindset — thrives in a small, high-accountability team with a strong bias for action.

  • Background in enterprise or B2B SaaS sales environments is a plus.
