Do you want to work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and workplace safety, ensuring every employee returns home safely every day? Join Buddywise!
About Buddywise
We're building a safety intelligence platform to prevent workplace accidents before they happen. Backed by highly respected industry leaders and VCs, our AI-powered system helps industrial and infrastructural companies detect, predict, and act on real-world risks.
We're a small, fast-moving team working at the intersection of AI, computer vision, and real-world safety. Our customers span manufacturing, logistics, chemical, and construction industries. If you thrive in a high-pace, high-responsibility environment and want to make workplaces safer than ever, Buddywise is the place for you.
The Position
We are looking for a passionate and driven Working Student in Sales to join our commercial team. This is an in-person position based at our office in Berlin, with flexible hours that can accommodate your study schedule (up to 20 hours per week). This is a unique opportunity to learn modern B2B sales from the ground up at a deep-tech startup — from prospecting and outbound campaigns to speaking with real decision-makers in industrial companies. The role is designed for someone who is eager to learn, communicative, and wants to understand how a tech business wins and grows its customers.
Your Responsibilities
You will work closely with our sales team, growing from supporting tasks into your own customer-facing responsibilities. Your work will include:
- Building and enriching prospect and account lists using modern sales tools (e.g. Clay)
- Preparing daily call lists and concise prospect briefs for the sales team
- Setting up, running, and optimizing outbound campaigns (e.g. Lemlist)
- Keeping our CRM clean and up to date, and supporting sales reporting
- Supporting trade shows and events: pre-event meeting booking and live scheduling support
- Over time, taking on your own customer conversations — starting with warm follow-up calls and growing into your own outreach targets
- Identifying promising industries, accounts, and opportunities for further growth
- Helping build and refine sales processes that allow the company to scale effectively
Your Profile
- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program (Business, Economics, Communications or related field)
- Available for at least 6 months
- A proactive, self-motivated individual who takes full ownership of your work and thrives on responsibility
- Confident communicator who enjoys talking to people — you're not afraid to pick up the phone
- Structured and detail-oriented; comfortable working with data, lists, and tools (experience with Attio, Clay, Lemlist or similar sales tools is a plus)
- An enthusiastic and analytical problem-solver, eager to learn and adapt in a fast-paced, agile environment
- Passionate about our mission and applying technology to solve real-world problems
- Fluent in English; German or Swedish is a strong plus
What We Offer
- Competitive working student compensation
- Real-world experience at an exciting deep-tech startup in a defining time for the company
- A structured ramp-up: learn the full sales cycle hands-on, from prospecting to customer conversations
- Significant responsibility from day one, with the possibility to influence your tasks to best suit your strengths and development needs
- The chance to learn from the full Buddywise team of diverse, passionate, experienced, and high-performing professionals
- Modern office in Berlin at the Delta Campus, in the same building as CODE University
- Flexible working hours that accommodate your study schedule
- Potential for full-time employment after graduation
Working student essentials
What this Sales working student role in Berlin means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational 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.
