Why Now
CeiliX is 12+ people, €800k+ in pre-orders, and just won a trade-fair award. We build ceiling-based mobile robots for warehouse logistics — first of their kind, with systems live in the EU and US. Inbound is exploding, and our Head of BD needs a second pair of hands so deals don't sit waiting.
The Role
You're the first response to almost every customer who finds CeiliX. Emails to sales@ and info@ land with you. Layout requests for proposals land with you. Trade show logistics land with you. You triage, you respond, you coordinate — and you free our Head of BD up to actually close deals.
This is a junior role with a real path. By month three, you'll start representing CeiliX at smaller events and leading easier customer conversations yourself.
What You'll Do
Triage every inbound to sales@ and info@, using existing playbooks plus AI assists to draft fast, accurate first responses
Turn customer requests into clean proposals and layouts using our streamlined internal tool (in active development)
Run the admin behind trade shows and smaller events — booking, transport, scheduling, follow-up — and travel to a few of them yourself
Set up and maintain light Pipedrive automations so nothing slips through the cracks
After ramp-up: handle initial customer pitches and easier sales conversations directly
What We're Looking For
Detail obsession
You're the person who notices the typo no one else did
You don't let an inbound sit unanswered overnight
Customer instincts
You can read a vague customer request and figure out what they actually need
Calm, professional, and clear in a customer email or short call
AI as a default tool
You already use Claude, ChatGPT, or similar daily for real work — not just curiosity
Comfortable wiring up a simple CRM automation or AI workflow when you spot the same task happening twice
Must Have
German C1+ and English C1+ (most customers are German; the team operates in English)
Currently in or recently completing a Bachelor's, or equivalent evidence you get things done (side projects, internships, leadership, a real portfolio)
Daily use of LLM tools, with at least one example of a workflow you've built or improved with them
Nice to Have
Pipedrive, HubSpot, or any CRM hands-on
Event coordination, trade show, or hospitality experience
Hardware, robotics, or industrial B2B exposure
French or Spanish
Why Us
Real ownership from day one — you'll own a function, not assist on one
Built-in growth path — start in ops, move into customer-facing sales as you ramp
Real AI mandate — we want you to automate yourself out of the routine work, not protect it
Setup
Mostly remote. A few days per month at our office in Euskirchen (Cologne–Bonn area). Trade show travel across Germany. Full-time. Compensation discussed in the first conversation.
