Business Development Specialist (Working Student / Part-time) — SpaceTech (Hybrid, Bremen)

About Akilaris

Akilaris builds a Space Intelligence Platform that helps satellite operators stay safe in orbit. Space is getting crowded fast — and avoiding collisions is becoming mission-critical. We combine real-time tracking, predictive analytics, and automated collision avoidance to help operators reduce risk, save fuel, and keep their services running reliably.

We’re based in Bremen and work worldwide — from early-stage teams to large constellations. Our goal is simple: make space operations safer and more scalable.

The role

We’re looking for a working student / part-time Business Development Specialist who wants real responsibility, fast learning, and measurable impact.

You’ll help us:

• find the right customers (not just “more leads”)

• understand what they actually need

• turn conversations into qualified opportunities

This is a hybrid role in Bremen , with flexibility to work from home.

What you’ll do (day to day)

• Research and map target markets

• Build lead lists and run structured outreach (email/LinkedIn/events)

• Qualify inbound/outbound leads (quick discovery calls, notes, next steps)

• Keep our pipeline clean and up to date (CRM discipline matters)

• Help shape messaging: positioning, email copy, pitch angles, objections

• Support partnerships and strategic opportunities when they arise

What we’re looking for (A++ players)

We care more about drive + clarity + execution than a perfect CV.

You’re a strong fit if you have:

• Very solid written + spoken communication (German and/or English)

• A structured, analytical way of thinking (you enjoy figuring out “what works”)

• Hands-on experience with lead gen or the motivation to learn it fast

• The ability to work independently, reliably, and proactively

• Comfort talking to people (or the willingness to build that skill quickly)

Nice to have (not required):

• Interest in space, aerospace, or deep tech

• Prior startup, sales, or consulting experience

• Familiarity with CRMs, LinkedIn Sales Nav, Apollo, HubSpot, etc.

What you get

• Direct exposure to real startup business development (no “busy work”)

• Ownership, trust, and fast learning

• Flexible schedule around your studies

• A team that moves quickly and values high standards

Location & hours

• On-Site in Bremen

• Part-time / working student (hours flexible)
