About the Role

We're a fast-moving, pre-seed energy technology company on a mission to make dynamic electricity plans accessible to European households through an API-first, AI-powered platform. As a licensed electricity retailer operating on the European energy exchange market, we sit at the intersection of energy, regulation, and technology — and we're growing fast.

We're looking for a versatile Member of Commercial Staff to join our small, high-performing team in Berlin Mitte. This is an in-person, cross-functional role for someone who thrives on ownership, adapts quickly, and wants to help build the commercial infrastructure of a company from the ground up.

What You'll Do

  • Tackle diverse commercial challenges spanning finance, legal, recruiting, customer support, and partner management as the business scales.

  • Own problems end-to-end — from scoping through execution — and deliver work you're genuinely proud of.

  • Shift focus and reprioritise as the business evolves, always gravitating toward what matters most.

  • Help design and implement operating practices and processes alongside your core responsibilities.

  • Communicate and collaborate cross-functionally with sales, product, legal, and operations stakeholders.

  • Contribute to a culture of strong communication, ownership, and craftsmanship in a regulated industry context.

  • Rapid learner: able to go from novice to effective in days by engaging experts, reasoning from first principles, and executing with conviction.

  • German fluency at C1+ level (business-level written and spoken); ability to communicate with German-speaking finance and legal stakeholders is essential.

  • Strong interpersonal skills — warm and engaging, but able to drive results when it counts.

  • Proactive owner: notices broken processes and fixes them without waiting for permission.

  • Legal right to work in Germany — no visa sponsorship is available for this role.

Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with API-based energy solutions and the ability to articulate value propositions to OEMs or installers.

  • Experience in partnerships or alliances management within a regulated industry.

  • Exposure to customer success or support design in an early-stage environment.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary range: $75,000 – $100,000 per year (USD equivalent)

  • Opportunity to shape the commercial function of an early-stage company from the inside

  • Direct collaboration with founding team members

  • High degree of autonomy and responsibility from day one
