What you'll do

HW Gründerkapital supports bold tradespeople in building the next generation of successful companies – through operational excellence, entrepreneurial sparring, and targeted customer acquisition.

A lot has happened in the past few weeks: new partnerships, full order books, rapid growth – in short: our model works, and it works faster than expected.
Now is the perfect time to jump in: Starting flexible from May on, we’re looking for an intern or working student in Sales & Business Development who wants to be part of this momentum – strategically, operationally, and right at the heart of building something new. The role also has the possibility of transitioning into a permanent full-time position based on performance.

Responsibilities

You'll be part of our core team, working directly with the founders, management, and partner companies. This isn’t about just assisting – you’ll take real ownership and actively help shape things:

• Onboarding: You’ll help new partner businesses get started and ensure they’re ready to launch operationally
• Lead Generation & Execution: You’ll develop customer acquisition strategies, manage service providers, and implement projects with our partners
• Sales Sparring: You’ll be the go-to person for our partners when it comes to sales, growth, and execution
• Improving Structures: You’ll help us analyze and improve processes, tools, and workflows – hands-on and with an entrepreneurial mindset

Why you should join

• You’ll shape real growth – in an environment where new opportunities arise daily
• You’ll take on responsibility from day one – managing your own partner businesses and helping drive their success
• You’ll experience how a craft business is built from the ground up – you’ll be there from the start, learning everything involved and actively helping shape it
• You’ll get sparring and perspective: personal coaching, honest feedback – and, if there’s a good fit, the option for a permanent position

What you bring

• Fluent German (C2 level) – you’ll be communicating directly with our partner companies
• You’re open-minded, structured, pragmatic – and curious to understand how things really work
• You’re excited about entrepreneurial work, real customer contact, and visible results
• Previous experience in sales, marketing, or customer-facing roles is a plus, but not a must

What we offer

• HWG Sales Academy: Access to our new Sales Academy with regular input on best practices in sales for the skilled trades – from cold calling and objection handling to structured sales follow-ups
• Individual coaching: Ongoing 1:1 mentoring from experienced sales leads, focused on your personal and professional growth
• Peer learning & exchange: Join regular group sessions on specific sales topics together with other sales talents from the HWG network
• Real responsibility from day one – no shadowing, no busywork
• Opportunity to transition into a full-time role if there’s a strong mutual fit
• A fast-paced startup environment where you’ll learn by doing and contribute directly
• Subsidized Wellpass membership for your mental and physical well-being
• Flexible working hours and a centrally located office in Munich
• Direct access to experienced operators and our angel investor network Apply now and let’s build something real – together.
