Member of Commercial Staff at Clera — Berlin, Germany

About The Role

About the Role

This is a generalist commercial role at a pre-seed European energy technology startup, sitting directly alongside the founding team in Berlin. You will own cross-functional work across finance, legal, recruiting, customer support, and partner management, building the operational infrastructure that enables growth and customer trust in a regulated industry.

What You'll Do

-
Tackle varied commercial challenges across finance, legal, recruiting, customer support, and partner management as the business scales.
-
Own problems end-to-end, from initial scoping through execution, with a high standard for quality.
-
Adapt scope and priorities as the business evolves, focusing on what matters most at each stage.
-
Help shape operating practices and internal processes alongside your core day-to-day responsibilities.
-
Work in-person five days a week in Berlin Mitte, contributing to a culture of ownership and effective communication.

What We're Looking For

-
2+ years of proven performance in a high-performance environment such as a high-growth startup, consulting, investment banking, professional sports, or high-end hospitality.
-
A versatile background in banking, legal, operations, partnerships, or another domain that adds commercial leverage.
-
Ability to go from novice to effective in days by talking to experts, reasoning from first principles, and executing with conviction.
-
Strong interpersonal style: kind and engaging, but capable of pushing for results when necessary.
-
A proactive approach to ownership, noticing and fixing broken processes without waiting for direction.
-
A clear sign of exceptionality, such as a standout academic, entrepreneurial, athletic, or professional achievement.
-
Early-career commercial talent on a steep growth trajectory, rather than an experienced management profile.
-
German fluency at C1 or above is required.
