About the Role
This is a high-ownership, generalist role sitting directly alongside the founding team of an early-stage B2B SaaS company in the commercial energy storage space. You'll drive sales outreach and revenue growth while contributing to operations, recruiting, and strategy — going wherever the business needs you most.
What You'll Do
-
Build and execute the sales playbook, including outreach to key decision-makers and identifying new revenue opportunities.
-
Work across sales, growth, and customer success, adapting to the company's highest-priority needs.
-
Design and implement internal operational processes to keep daily workflows running smoothly.
-
Support talent acquisition, from coordinating hiring logistics to attracting strong candidates.
-
Tackle ambiguous, undefined problems with speed and a bias for action.
What We're Looking For
-
1+ years of experience at a high-growth startup, venture capital fund, investment bank, or strategy consulting firm — or a Bachelor's/Master's degree with strong academic results plus at least one relevant internship in those environments.
-
Demonstrated ability to execute B2B sales outreach and close deals with business decision-makers.
-
Hands-on experience building sales processes and identifying revenue opportunities from scratch in B2B markets.
-
Comfortable designing and rolling out internal operational processes.
-
Familiarity with CRM systems and sales automation tooling.
-
Experience coordinating or supporting recruiting processes is a plus.
-
Background in product, growth, marketing, strategy, or operations is a bonus.
-
Prior exposure to CleanTech, battery energy storage (BESS), or European energy markets is advantageous but not required.
-
Thrives in fast-paced, early-stage environments with rapidly shifting scope.
Compensation & Benefits
-
Base salary: €70,000 – €85,000 per year

Equity: VSOP / equity package included with standard vesting schedule
