Prudos is a Berlin-based software startup building from the ground up in the AI era.
As AI changes how people work, many of the systems businesses have built their operating models around are becoming obsolete faster than people can adapt to the new ways of working. We build software that closes that distance.
Our products solve different parts of the problem, from discovering and evaluating AI products, to helping businesses prepare for the EU AI Act, to an integrated marketing platform for SMBs.
We are looking for someone to turn market intelligence into relationships and opportunities.
What you'll do
Work directly with the founder
You'll work across market research, business development, partnerships and early growth. A lot of the job comes down to three things:
- 01Find the right people
- 02Start the right conversations
- 03Keep the conversation going
You'll help us:
- research markets, companies, sectors and people that are relevant to Prudos
- identify potential customers, partners, advisors, communities and other useful relationships
- build targeted lists and work out the best way to approach people
- write and send thoughtful outreach rather than mass messages
- follow up and keep promising conversations moving
- support calls, demos, meetings and early commercial opportunities
- research companies and people before conversations so that we understand who we're talking to
- keep track of what people are asking, what they care about and where they see value
- help identify opportunities in DACH and other European markets
- research relevant events, networks and communities
- bring useful market observations back into the company
The role will evolve as the company grows.
What we're looking for
Curious, switched on, comfortable figuring things out
You don't need five years of experience. You do need to be curious, switched on and comfortable figuring things out.
You might be studying business, marketing, communications, economics, hospitality, technology or something completely different. You may already have some experience in sales, business development, research, partnerships or a startup environment.
What matters more is that you:
- communicate clearly
- can research something properly
- are comfortable reaching out to people you don't know
- notice things other people miss
- follow through
- don't need every step explained
- are willing to try something, see what happens and adjust
German and English are important for this role. French is a plus.
An interest in people, technology, AI and the way European businesses are adapting to AI is useful. An interest in one of our markets or products is welcome too, whether that's AI software, hospitality, creators and founders, or the practical side of EU AI regulation.
What you won't be doing
Not a call-centre job
This isn't a call-centre job. It isn't about sending 200 generic emails a day.
We're interested in the quality of the people we reach, the quality of the conversations we create, and what we learn from them.
What success looks like
Better people, better conversations
The right person will help us meet more of the right people, create better conversations, open useful relationships, and find commercial opportunities we would otherwise miss.
You'll also help us understand the market better.
Why join now
Direct line to the founder, room to own it
You'll work directly with the founder, no corporate or office politics. You'll see how an early software company is built, and have a real view of what happens between an idea and a customer, and possibly grow with us.
You'll have a defined area to own, but plenty of room to work things out yourself.
