Sales & Partnerships Intern
Every dog owner wishes their dog could tell them how it feels. We are building the future that makes exactly that possible: an AI-powered smart wearable that recognizes a dog’s emotional state from barks, vital signs, and movement. We have real traction, Early Access pre-orders are live, and now we need someone who both talks directly to dog owners and finds the right sales and channel partners to bring Voicari into retail.
The role
This is not a “watch the sales team” internship. You run your own outbound conversations, pick up pre-order leads, talk to real customers, actively approach pet shops, vets, and distribution partners, and feed back what works so we can improve fast. There is no playbook for this yet, you help write it.
What you’ll do
- Contact warm leads (waitlist, pre-order inquiries) and turn interest into orders
- Actively find, approach, and open first conversations with sales and channel partners, for example pet retail, vets, dog schools, or pet-ecosystem players
- Represent Voicari at Berlin pet and tech events and meetups
- Document objections and feed them straight back to product and marketing
- Help test messaging, pricing questions, and outreach copy, and scale what converts
What we’re looking for
- You find the answer before you ask someone. Waiting for instructions is not your thing
- You enjoy talking to strangers and a “no” doesn’t throw you off
- Genuine interest in dogs and how technology can improve their lives. This is not a side note, it shows in conversations with customers
- Fluent German and English
No sales experience needed
Curiosity and persistence count more than a line on your résumé.
What we offer
- Direct access to the founding team, your ideas reach decision-makers the same day
- Real ownership of a customer-facing function in a 10-person startup, not busywork
- A steep learning curve, you see what early-stage sales really looks like, mistakes included
- WeWork membership (Potsdamer Platz), including coffee, community events, and access to the whole on-site network
- Your dog is welcome in the office anytime, we build for dogs, so why not work with them too
- A Voicari Early Access device for your own dog, so you understand the product first-hand
- A small learning budget for courses or books that move you forward in the role
- We cover tickets for relevant Berlin pet and tech events
