About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE This is a rare early commercial hire working directly alongside the CEO of an early-stage AI enterprise SaaS company. With a strong sales focus, you'll span sales, operations, and company building — playing a meaningful role in shaping how the business grows from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Drive sales activities end-to-end, from outreach and pipeline development to closing deals with enterprise clients.
- Work directly with the CEO on strategic and operational priorities across the business. - Contribute to company-building initiatives as one of the first commercial team members. - Engage with clients in both German and English across meetings, communications, and presentations. - Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code / Cursor) to move quickly and build or iterate on internal tools and workflows. - Support web and content presence using CMS and design tools where needed.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 1–2 years of full-time work experience, ideally in a consultancy or startup environment. - Fluent in both German and English — essential for client-facing work and internal communication. - Hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor (required). - Has independently built something before — a product, startup, side project, community, or audience. - Background at a professional services firm (e.g.
management consulting) or an early-stage tech company is a strong signal. - Familiarity with CMS and design tools such as Framer, Webflow, or Figma is a notable plus. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Total compensation of €130,000 (base plus sales-related variable), with 0.5–1% equity. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Germany.
