# Sales Operations Associate \(m/w/d\) - Company: [Ceilix]() - Location: Euskirchen · Cologne - Remote: Yes - Team: Sales & Biz Dev - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: June 15, 2026 ## Job description **Why Now** CeiliX is 12+ people, €800k+ in pre-orders, and just won a trade-fair award. We build ceiling-based mobile robots for warehouse logistics — first of their kind, with systems live in the EU and US. Inbound is exploding, and our Head of BD needs a second pair of hands so deals don't sit waiting. **The Role** You're the first response to almost every customer who finds CeiliX. Emails to sales@ and info@ land with you. Layout requests for proposals land with you. Trade show logistics land with you. You triage, you respond, you coordinate — and you free our Head of BD up to actually close deals. This is a junior role with a real path. By month three, you'll start representing CeiliX at smaller events and leading easier customer conversations yourself. **What You'll Do** * Triage every inbound to sales@ and info@, using existing playbooks plus AI assists to draft fast, accurate first responses * Turn customer requests into clean proposals and layouts using our streamlined internal tool (in active development) * Run the admin behind trade shows and smaller events — booking, transport, scheduling, follow-up — and travel to a few of them yourself * Set up and maintain light Pipedrive automations so nothing slips through the cracks * After ramp-up: handle initial customer pitches and easier sales conversations directly **What We're Looking For** **Detail obsession** * You're the person who notices the typo no one else did * You don't let an inbound sit unanswered overnight **Customer instincts** * You can read a vague customer request and figure out what they actually need * Calm, professional, and clear in a customer email or short call **AI as a default tool** * You already use Claude, ChatGPT, or similar daily for real work — not just curiosity * Comfortable wiring up a simple CRM automation or AI workflow when you spot the same task happening twice **Must Have** * German C1+ and English C1+ (most customers are German; the team operates in English) * Currently in or recently completing a Bachelor's, **or** equivalent evidence you get things done (side projects, internships, leadership, a real portfolio) * Daily use of LLM tools, with at least one example of a workflow you've built or improved with them **Nice to Have** * Pipedrive, HubSpot, or any CRM hands-on * Event coordination, trade show, or hospitality experience * Hardware, robotics, or industrial B2B exposure * French or Spanish **Why Us** * **Real ownership from day one** — you'll own a function, not assist on one * **Built-in growth path** — start in ops, move into customer-facing sales as you ramp * **Real AI mandate** — we want you to automate yourself out of the routine work, not protect it **Setup** Mostly remote. A few days per month at our office in Euskirchen (Cologne–Bonn area). Trade show travel across Germany. Full-time. Compensation discussed in the first conversation. ## Apply [Apply on Ceilix]() Canonical job page:
