Founders Associate (Sales Focus)
About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-moving, early-stage AI enterprise software company as one of its first commercial hires. As Founders Associate, you'll work directly alongside the CEO across sales, operations, and company building — with a strong emphasis on driving revenue. You'll have real ownership from day one and meaningful equity upside as the business scales.
The company operates in the emerging space of AI visibility and enterprise content intelligence — helping B2B organisations ensure their brand and product knowledge surfaces as answers when customers query AI platforms. Think of it as the intersection of content strategy, SEO, and generative AI discovery.
What You'll Do
Support and run outbound and inbound sales motions — from prospecting and qualification through to closing
Engage directly with enterprise clients and prospects in both German and English
Work closely with the CEO on go-to-market strategy, pipeline management, and commercial operations
Help build the operational foundations of the business: processes, tooling, and internal workflows
Contribute to product positioning, messaging, and customer feedback loops
Take on broad responsibilities typical of an early-stage generalist — no two weeks will look the same
What We're Looking For
Required:
1–2 years of full-time professional experience
Fluent in German and English — both are used daily in client-facing and internal contexts
Commercially minded with a genuine interest in sales and business development
Highly autonomous, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
Strong communicator, both written and verbal
Nice to have:
Prior experience at a consultancy (e.g. strategy, management, or technology consulting) or an early-stage startup
Familiarity with B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or AI/content technology
Exposure to go-to-market, CRM tools, or sales operations
Compensation & Benefits
Total compensation: up to €130,000, comprising a base salary plus sales-related variable pay
Equity: 0.5–1% stake in the company
Early employee status with direct access to founding leadership
Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
This is a fully on-site role based in Munich, Germany. You'll be working in-person with the founding team day-to-day.
