WhyBrilliant

Working Student - Business / Founder's Associate (m/w/d)

Work side-by-side with WhyBrilliant's founders inside Berlin's Merantix AI Campus to test, build, and scale our commercial growth engine from the ground up.

Overview

Why this role matters

We are accelerating our commercial expansion and need an entrepreneurial operator to test growth hypotheses and scale outbound initiatives rapidly. Without you driving commercial experimentation and AI-powered workflows, founder bandwidth becomes the bottleneck to testing new markets.

Responsibilities

What you'll do

Direct ownership of our commercial execution, growth testing, and workflow automation.

  • Drive end-to-end Go-to-Market (GTM) execution and outbound sales campaigns.
  • Research, test, and validate new growth and acquisition channels independently.
  • Partner directly with the founders on ad-hoc strategic projects, partnerships, and business initiatives.
  • Implement modern Generative AI and CRM tools to automate commercial workflows.
  • Experiment rapidly with novel sales approaches and commercial playbooks.

Candidate profile

Who this is a fit for

  • Enrolled university student (e.g., Business, Management, Industrial Engineering, or similar).
  • Fluent in German at a native or professional level (C1/C2 required).
  • Hands-on experience with Generative AI tools and practical workflow automation.
  • Prior startup, business development, or sales experience from past internships.
  • Strong bias for execution ('Be bold & execute') and high tolerance for ambiguity.
  • Available ~20 hours per week on-site at the Merantix AI Campus in Berlin.

Culture

A quick note

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You need rigid playbooks, micro-management, or highly structured corporate onboarding.
  • You are uncomfortable operating in ambiguous environments where you define the path forward.
  • You are looking for a purely remote role and cannot work on-site in Berlin.
