About the Team
You’ll join the CEO’s office, a high-context, high-trust environment where priorities move fast and impact is immediate. The team operates across go-to-market, operations, and strategy supporting Beam’s growth and shaping how we scale. Working closely with the founder, you’ll gain exposure to every part of the business while playing a hands-on role in driving progress.
This role is a fit if you’re AI-native (you already use AI tools daily to supercharge your work), thrive in startup environments, and want a front-row seat to how a category-defining AI company is built.
Responsibilities
Prepare presentations and materials for customer meetings, investor updates, and internal strategy sessions.
Build clear, data-driven reports to guide decision-making.
Help maintain sales pipeline visibility and keep CRM data clean and up-to-date.
Support the CEO in high-priority projects ranging from customer interactions to operational execution.
Research markets, competitors, and potential opportunities to inform strategy.
Own day-to-day operational tasks that keep the CEO’s office running smoothly.
Organise customer dinners, offsites, or strategic meetings.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, or a related field.
1–2 years of experience in a startup, scale-up, consulting, or similar environment.
Strong communication and presentation skills, comfortable interacting with potential customers and senior stakeholders.
Analytical and structured mindset; you enjoy turning data into insights.
Proven ability to manage multiple priorities with high attention to detail.
AI-obsessed: you use AI tools daily and think creatively about how to apply them to your work.
Based in Berlin and available to work on-site full-time.
Nice to Have
Experience in go-to-market or business operations roles.
Exposure to fundraising, investor relations, or executive support.
Fluency in German (not required, but a plus).
Benefits
At Beam, we’re building an environment where ambitious people can do their best work, with clarity, purpose, and room to grow. We’re thoughtful about what we build, how we work, and who we hire. The problems we’re solving are real. The systems we’re building are complex. And the people here care deeply, about craft, about speed, and about doing work that actually matters. You won’t find rigid hierarchies or endless process here. You’ll find high trust, high standards, and a team driven by curiosity, ownership, and long-term thinking.
What you’ll find here
Ownership with clarity: You’ll drive work from idea to execution in a high-context, high-autonomy environment. We trust people to lead and follow through.
Growth that compounds: Whether you're deepening your technical expertise, exploring leadership, or learning across disciplines, we support growth paths that aren’t one-size-fits-all.
Work that matters: You’ll contribute to AI-native systems already powering real-world operations, not just prototypes or experiments.
Aligned incentives: We offer competitive compensation and meaningful equity, designed for long-term value creation, not just short-term rewards. When Beam wins, you do too.
A culture that raises the bar: You’ll work with sharp, kind teammates who value directness, curiosity, and momentum. We challenge each other to do better and support each other every step of the way.
If this sounds like the kind of work you want to do and the kind of team you want to grow with, we’d love to hear from you!
