About us

We are building the #1 AI learning companion for 1 billion students globally.

We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.

Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.

You will join an elite team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.

Your mission

The problem you’ll solve: You’ll unlock new revenue opportunities by turning interest into long-term partnerships - helping Knowunity scale one of its most important monetisation engines while shaping how we serve our B2B customers.

Your ownership:

Own the full sales funnel - from strategic lead generation and outreach to closing deals and managing long-term accounts that drive repeat revenue.
Build and optimise a high-performing sales process, experimenting with new approaches (pricing, messaging, funnel flow) to increase conversion and velocity.
Drive cross-functional collaboration with Marketing and Product to scale inbound sales, improve lead quality, and elevate customer experience.

Why this matters: As we scale to 1 billion students, sustainable growth depends on our ability to monetise effectively. The deals you close and relationships you build directly impact ARR, open new market opportunities, and accelerate our path to profitability.

What success looks like: You’ll consistently close high-quality partnerships and generate upsell opportunities through strong relationship management. Your input will shape a repeatable, efficient sales engine that fuels Knowunity’s monetisation strategy. Over time, you'll be seen as a key growth driver - both in revenue impact and in evolving how we sell, collaborate, and win.

Your story

Your mindset
You’re the type of person who:

Loves the thrill of B2B sales - building relationships, uncovering needs, and closing with confidence is your idea of a good day
Owns the entire funnel - from cold calls to closing, you take responsibility for driving deals across every stage
Pushes for better - you’re constantly thinking about how to shorten sales cycles, improve conversions, and boost revenue
Handles objections like opportunities - you listen closely, respond smartly, and win trust even in tough conversations
Leverages AI - as a force multiplier in everything you do
Values excellence over comfort - mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary

Your track record
You’ve already had your hands in the B2B sales game — qualifying leads, booking meetings, running demos, and closing deals. You’ve shown grit, learned fast, and consistently improved performance. You’re energized by targets, motivated by growth, and proud to play a key role in a team that wins together.

Must-haves

Initial experience across the B2B sales funnel, ideally in fast-paced or startup environments
Strong communication and objection-handling skills, especially over the phone
Native or near-native German and fluent English (C1–C2)
Ready to work from our Berlin office 5 days/week (with some flexibility!)
