ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a high-ownership, generalist role sitting at the heart of an early-stage B2B SaaS company in the commercial and industrial energy storage space. You'll work directly alongside the founding team to drive revenue, shape the sales playbook, and keep operations running — going wherever the business needs you most.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and execute the sales playbook, identifying and pursuing new B2B revenue opportunities across European markets.
- Run outbound outreach and work directly with decision-makers to close deals.
- Design and implement internal processes to keep daily operations efficient and scalable.
- Support team growth by coordinating recruiting and helping attract top talent.
- Tackle ambiguous, high-priority problems across Sales, Growth, and Customer Success as they arise.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 1 year of experience at a high-growth startup, venture capital firm, investment bank, or strategy consulting firm — or a Bachelor's/Master's degree with strong academic results from a competitive university plus at least one relevant internship in a similar environment.
- Demonstrated ability to execute B2B sales outreach and close deals with business decision-makers.
- Experience building sales processes and identifying new revenue opportunities from scratch.
- Comfortable designing and implementing operational processes in fast-moving, undefined environments.
- Hands-on experience with CRM systems and sales automation tooling.
- Experience supporting or coordinating hiring processes is a plus.
- Exposure to product, growth, marketing, strategy, or operations functions is an advantage.
- Prior experience in CleanTech, battery energy storage, or energy markets is a bonus — but not required.
- Thrives in early-stage environments with rapid iteration and shifting priorities.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Salary: €65,000 – €85,000 per year
- Equity: VSOP / equity package with standard vesting schedule
- Visa sponsorship: Not available
