Business Development Intern - Acoustic Materials Startup

Company: Acoustic Index (Early-stage, bootstrapped startup)
Location: Berlin
Duration: 3 Months (with potential for permanent role)
Compensation: 1,200 EUR per month

About Acoustic Index:

Acoustic Index is an early-stage bootstrapped startup based in Berlin. We are building the platform where acoustic manufacturers list their products with measurement data, so that planners, architects, and acousticians find exactly the right material. We have two founders, a fast-growing partner list, and a clear focus on West Europe for now.

Tasks:

  • Business Development: Identify suitable manufacturer partners and proactively reach out to them. Engage new companies with Acoustic Index.
  • Pipeline Building: Book initial meetings for the founders and maintain a full, well-followed sales pipeline.
  • Market and Lead Research: Systematically expand our target list across DACH and beyond, identifying the right contacts.
  • CRM: Document every contact cleanly and keep the entire pipeline in view.

Requirements:

  • AI-Native: You have been using AI since the beginning and integrate it into your daily workflow.
  • Education: Enrolled in a Business, Economics, Engineering, or related field. Internship can be mandatory or voluntary; full commitment is key. One to four previous internships are a plus, but not mandatory.
  • Language Proficiency: Native-level proficiency in at least one of German, French, or Italian, combined with very good English.
  • Communication Skills: Strong communicator; proactively approach people and companies and hold conversations at eye level, including with managing directors and CEOs.
  • Work Ethic: Self-driven and hands-on. This role requires more than a nine-to-five commitment; ideal for someone seeking responsibility and willing to go all-in.
  • Advantage: Very good French or Italian proficiency is beneficial, as it can directly open up markets where many SME managing directors may not speak fluent English, leading to quicker assumption of visible responsibility.

Benefits:

  • Real responsibility and direct access to the founders from day one.
  • A steep learning curve in business development and sales, closely involved in building a growing startup.
  • Compensation: 1,200 EUR per month for the 3-month internship.
  • Potential for an honest path to a permanent role if you deliver.
