Business Development Trainee – German Speaking

No Sales Experience? No Problem. Let's Grow Together.

Are you fluent in German, ambitious, and ready for a new challenge?

Maybe you've worked in customer service, hospitality, retail, recruitment, or another people-focused role. Or perhaps you're looking for your first opportunity in the business world.

At Proxify, we believe great salespeople come from all kinds of backgrounds.

We're looking for a Business Development Trainee to join our growing team in Stockholm and help us connect with businesses across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

You bring the energy, curiosity, and ambition. We'll provide the environment, support, and opportunities to grow.

Who We Are

Proxify is a Stockholm-based tech company helping businesses around the world connect with exceptional Software, Data, and AI talent.

Since 2018, we've supported over 2,500 companies, from fast-growing startups to international brands like Lufthansa, Electrolux, and Securitas.

We're growing fast, thinking big, and building an international team of people who love making things happen.

Your Role

As a Business Development Trainee, you'll be part of the Outbound team creating new business opportunities in the German-speaking market.

You'll learn how modern B2B sales works, develop confidence in professional communication, and gain experience working with customers and commercial teams.

What You'll Be Doing

• Reaching out to potential customers via phone, email, and LinkedIn.

• Starting conversations and introducing businesses to Proxify.

• Learning how to understand customer challenges and identify opportunities.

• Working closely with experienced Account Executives and Client Managers.

• Building and maintaining relationships with potential customers.

• Tracking your progress, improving your approach, and working toward team goals.

This is an active, people-focused role where you'll spend a significant part of your week speaking with potential customers.

You Could Be a Great Fit If...

• You speak native-level German and fluent English.

• You're outgoing, curious, and enjoy talking to people.

• You're motivated to learn and grow professionally.

• You enjoy challenges and don't give up easily.

• You're comfortable picking up the phone and starting conversations.

• You want to build a career in business, tech, or sales.

• You enjoy being part of an ambitious and supportive team.

Previous sales experience is not required.

Experience from customer service, hospitality, retail, recruitment, or other customer-facing roles is a plus, but not essential.
