Description provided by autarc (YC S24)

Company

Founded in Berlin, autarc is a 35 person start-up who last year graduated from Y Combinator in San Francisco. Our team consists of people in Sales, Tech and Operations, with plans to expand into the Spain market where we are looking to hire out a new team.

Role Description

We’re launching autarc in Spain - and we’re looking for a driven Entrepreneur in Residence Intern to help bring autarc to market. You’ll work directly with our founding team, acting as the connective tissue between inbound customers, local installer partners, fairs and shows, and our global product and marketing teams.

This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing climate tech startup as one of our first hires in Spain. You’ll have a front-row seat in everything from sales to strategy and local market expansion.

  • Conduct virtual product demos with inbound clients and guide them through our software
  • Support customers via phone, email, or live chat during onboarding and setup
  • Connect with local heat pump and solar installers, and manage early partner relationships
  • Attend industry trade shows and events to build our presence in Spain
  • Coordinate with global marketing to create localised landing pages, brochures, and demo materials
  • Build structured feedback loops from spanish users and partners back into the product and engineering teams

You’ll be based in our Berlin office, working closely with our international and local GTM team.

Requirements

  • A top-tier academic background in Business, Economics or a related field
  • Experience in fast-paced environments like startups, VC, consulting, or investment banking
  • A generalist mindset: you’re curious, adaptable, and comfortable jumping into new topics
  • Fluent in Spanish and English
  • Willingness to get hands dirty and push things from 0 to 1
  • Available for a 4-6 month internship with a willingness to work 5 days a week in the Berlin office

What We Offer

  • Freedom to choose your own equipment
  • 26 paid vacation days
  • An annual team retreat
  • Mobility subsidies
  • Health and fitness subscription
  • Regular team events, lunches and activities

Next steps

If your application is successful, you will participate in the following:

  • Screening call with someone from the people team
  • Culture fit call with Lennart (GTM Lead)
  • Take home challenge (approx. 2-4 hours)
  • Final F2F interview with Thies (COO) and the team (in Berlin)

About Us

Right now, 25% of CO2 emissions in Europe are caused by heating our buildings. In order for this to be reduced, the transition towards renewable energy needs to be simplified and made more accessible. There are too few installers to meet the growing demand for heat pumps, and a solution to match this trend needs to be brought to the market.

autarc is developing the leading operating system (OS) for heat pump installers, enabling a more digital and efficient installation process for heat pumps.

Through this, autarc is reducing the hurdles to decarbonizing single-family homes and small apartment buildings in Europe, with the goal to help with the planning and designing of 1 million heat pumps by 2030.

Working student essentials

What this Sales internship in Berlin means for you: the pay rules, the social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.

Working student rules

Social contributions

Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.

Check your insurance

International students

Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
