ABOUT THE ROLE This is a high-impact, generalist sales role sitting directly alongside the founding team of an early-stage B2B SaaS company serving the commercial and industrial energy storage market in Europe.

- Hands-on experience with CRM systems and sales automation tooling. - High ownership mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and independently scoped work. - Nice to have: exposure to product, growth, marketing, strategy, or operations; prior experience in CleanTech, battery storage, or energy markets; familiarity with European C&I markets. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Base salary: €65,000 – €85,000 per year - Equity: VSOP / equity package with standard vesting included - Visa sponsorship: Not available LOCATION On-site in Berlin, Germany (Hamburg or Kiel also considered).
