About this job

About us

Heating our buildings causes around 25% of Europe's CO₂ emissions. Decarbonizing it depends on installers – and there are far too few of them to keep up with the growing demand for heat pumps.

autarc is building the operating system for energy installers across Europe: software that makes planning, designing and installing heat pumps faster and more digital. Our goal is to help plan and design 1 million heat pumps by 2030.

Founded in Berlin and backed by Y Combinator (S24), we're a team of 60+ people across Sales, Tech and Operations, already serving more than 2,000 customers.

Your Impact

As a Business Development Intern, you are responsible for making autarc visible in the Italian market, winning over new customers, and laying the foundation for long-term partnerships.

You cultivate and develop relationships with B2B customers such as heating contractors and solar installers by proactively reaching out, sparking interest, and generating appointments for product demos.
You leverage multiple channels for new customer acquisition, with a clear focus on outbound calls, trade show activities, and a presence on platforms like LinkedIn.
You guide prospects through clear and compelling software demos, identify their needs, and show how autarc can simplify their day-to-day work.

You identify new market opportunities, projects, and partnerships, contributing directly to autarc's growth.

You actively monitor industries and competitors to better understand market needs and further strengthen our offering.

You work closely with our product and expansion team to feed customer feedback directly into the ongoing development of the software.

You have a passion for software sales and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

You are a strong communicator, able to win people over and confidently guide stakeholders through conversations.
You are passionate about transforming the energy industry and enjoy championing innovative solutions.
You speak fluent English and Italian
Initial experience with HubSpot or other lead generation tools is a plus.

Grow with us: As part of a fast-growing, YC-backed climate tech startup with an ambitious team.
Real ownership: Drive your work from idea to impact.
Low ego, high trust: No blame, open feedback, collaboration over hierarchy.
Be part of the energy transition: Help bring more heat pumps and solar to homes every day.

After the screening, we'll let you know whether we'd like to take the next step together with you.

In the second step, we'll hold another approximately 30-minute Google Meet interview with you and our GTM Lead, Lennart.
