**Your Responsibilities**

*   **Right hand to the CCO:** Drive execution of key projects, ensuring progress across Sales, Marketing, and broader commercial initiatives.
*   **Marketing & Demand Gen:** Assist in campaign execution, event planning, content creation, and performance analytics - leveraging AI for personalization and efficiency.
*   **Sales Lead Support:** Get familiar with our CRM and state-of-the-art demand generation tools (Clay, Smartlead, ChatGPT, Claude) to build dashboards, develop workflows, and ensure high data quality.
*   **Administrative Support:** Manage the inbox, coordinate meetings, prepare follow-up materials, and keep track on expense management.
*   **Executive Team Support:** Help with strategic research, presentations, and internal decision-making processes.
*   **HR (Secondary Focus):** Contribute to recruitment, onboarding, and culture-building initiatives - including helping to organize our annual highlight: the rready camp (this year in Portugal)
*   **Cross-Functional Projects:** Tackle ad-hoc initiatives that contribute to company growth and operational excellence.

## Requirements

**Who You Are**

*   **Ambitious & proactive:** You take initiative and enjoy solving problems independently.
*   Entrepreneurial mindset & hands-on attitude: You thrive in dynamic environments, take full ownership of projects, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and dive into operational work.
*   **Fast learner & adaptable:** You pick up new skills and processes quickly, and embrace challenges.
*   **Analytical & structured:** You approach complex problems with a clear, logical mindset, are comfortable working with data, and translate insights into actionable solutions.
*   **T**ech-savvy & AI-curious: You're eager to explore how AI and automation can drive business impact.
*   **Good communicator:** Fluent in English and German and able to collaborate across teams.

**Preferred Qualifications**

*   Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Management, Marketing & Communication, Entrepreneurship, Design Management, or a related field.
*   Experience in a fast-paced environment (such as a startup, consulting, or similar setting) is a plus.
*   Passion for **Artificial Intelligence and innovation management**.

## Benefits

**What We Offer**

*   A high-impact role in an AI-native B2B SaaS startup with cutting-edge products and commercial processes.
*   Become the sparring partner to our experienced Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, who scaled the commercial functions from the ground up to several million in ARR — giving you broad exposure to the inner workings of a fast-paced startup.
*   A truly international team, with employees from Switzerland, Germany, Namibia, Greece, Brazil, Netherlands, and more.
*   Stay at the forefront of AI, both in our SaaS product and in our internal workflows, commercial setup, and automation strategies.
*   Get exposure to corporate clients such as TotalEnergies, Implenia or LGT.
*   Hands-on experience with real ownership of projects, from execution to strategic impact.
*   Hybrid work setup in Zurich, with flexibility.
*   Memorable team events from ski trips to the annual offsite abroad - work hard, grow fast, and celebrate success together!
*   Potential for a full-time role based on performance.
