Founders Associate - Sales
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a generalist, high-ownership role sitting directly alongside the founding team at an early-stage B2B SaaS company in the commercial energy storage space. You'll work across sales, growth, and operations — going wherever the business needs you most — and play a real part in shaping how the company grows across Europe.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Work across Sales, Growth, and Customer Success, flexing to the highest-priority needs of the company.
- Help build out the sales playbook and identify new revenue opportunities.
- Design and improve internal processes to keep daily operations running smoothly.
- Support team growth by coordinating recruiting and helping attract strong candidates.
- Dive into ambiguous, fast-moving problems and drive them to resolution.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Relentless drive, high energy, and a competitive mindset — you're energised by reaching decision-makers and hitting ambitious targets.
- Full ownership mentality: you execute independently and solve problems without hand-holding.
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree with strong academic results, plus at least one internship at a high-performing startup, VC fund, investment bank, or strategy consulting firm — or 1+ years of full-time experience in one of those environments.
- Comfort with ambiguity and the fast pace of an early-stage company.
- Exposure to product, growth, marketing, strategy, or operations is a plus.
- Any background in clean energy, battery storage, or energy markets is a bonus — but not required.
