Would you like to gain hands-on experience alongside your studies? Then you’re in the right place!

Your Mission

Drive growth & unlock opportunities
You work closely with our Account Management team to analyze customer and market potential. Together, you identify the most promising segments, develop upselling and cross-selling approaches, create customer awareness, and prepare compelling pitches. Your goal: a measurable impact on revenue and growth.

Hands-on sales mindset
You actively support the team in daily business operations – from preparing offers and following up on open opportunities to participating in customer meetings and conference calls. At the same time, you play an important backup role in operational tasks: when things get busy, you step in, take ownership, and ensure our customers continue to receive professional support. This is not just assisting – it’s real involvement.

Understand customers & sell solutions
You learn about the business models of online shops and understand the challenges they face in e-commerce. Based on this, you demonstrate how our technologies create real value and strategically develop customers and their product portfolios.

Learn sales the right way
We invest in your development: you’ll learn how modern sales works – from structured sales conversations and objection handling to negotiation strategies and understanding the full customer journey. Our goal is to gradually build your profile into a strong sales skill set.
