Sales Internship

About the Role

This is a hands-on sales internship at an early-stage B2B SaaS startup building software for the commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage sector. You'll work directly with the founding team to drive outbound revenue growth across the DACH region and broader European market — a high-impact role at the heart of the company's growth engine.

What You'll Do

  • Own and build the outbound pipeline from scratch, targeting C-level decision-makers at installers, wholesalers, and battery manufacturers.

  • Execute high-volume cold calls, email sequences, and LinkedIn outreach campaigns across DACH and Europe.

  • Work directly with founders to test and iterate on pitch angles and messaging.

  • Use modern AI-powered sales tooling and CRM automation to maximise outreach efficiency.

  • Take full ownership of prospecting results and contribute to refining the overall sales playbook.

What We're Looking For

  • Native or bilingual German and fluent English — both are required.

  • A proven track record in B2B outbound sales, or a strong, demonstrable drive to master it from the ground up.

  • Relentless work ethic, high energy, and a competitive mindset energised by hitting ambitious targets.

  • Ability to operate independently, take full ownership, and thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

  • Clear, persuasive communication skills — written and verbal.

  • Comfortable on-site in Berlin, Hamburg, or Kiel.

  • Bonus: Familiarity with modern outbound sales tools, or exposure to CleanTech, battery energy storage (BESS), or energy markets.

Annual compensation of €24,000–€26,000, plus an uncapped performance bonus. Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location
