Job description
About us
At VREY, we are building the EnergyOS for multi-family buildings.
In Germany, there are over 3.3 million multi-party houses – and they are the black hole of the energy transition.
At the same time, regulation is forcing owners into massive investments: solar is becoming mandatory, smart meters must be rolled out nationwide within the next 5 years, and heating and mobility are electrifying. The multi-family building is transforming from a concrete asset into an active part of the decentralized energy infrastructure.
What's missing is an integrated system that makes this transformation manageable economically and operationally.
VREY combines certified metering point operation with its own software and, for the first time, enables owners to sell their self-generated solar power directly to their tenants – easily and without becoming an energy provider themselves (§42b EnWG).
This turns regulatory compulsion into a profitable and predictable opportunity:
Double-digit returns and value appreciation for owners,
~20% electricity cost savings for tenants, and
digital infrastructure for storage, heat pumps, and flexibility.
We already manage a three-digit number of projects – including the largest portfolio holders and housing cooperatives – in all 16 federal states. This makes us one of the leading providers in the market after a very short time.
In the course of our seed financing, we have raised €3.3 million from leading impact and energy VCs (including Rubio Impact Ventures, HTGF, Kopa Ventures). With the fresh capital, we are entering the next growth phase and strategically expanding our team.
We are at the beginning of a structural market upheaval. Whoever defines the energy infrastructure in multi-family buildings today will shape it for decades to come. Become part of VREY and build the leading EnergyOS with us.
Your Profile
You already have initial experience in Consulting (Tier 1/Tier 2), High-Growth Start-ups (ideally Business Development, Partnerships, or Sales), or in the VC environment
You have a completed degree or a comparable qualification in a relevant field (e.g., Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, Energy Management, Entrepreneurship, or a related field)
You think entrepreneurially, make well-founded decisions independently, and set clear priorities with a view to impact, scalability, and long-term business success
You have a strong interest in start-ups, energy, or real estate
You are consciously not looking for a 9-to-5 job, but want to take responsibility in a fast-paced, founder-close environment, build structures, and actively shape growth
You strive to become the best version of yourself and seek environments where you can unleash your full potential
You are in Berlin (or willing to relocate) – our office is our home base
You speak German fluently (C2) and can explain complex products understandably
Your Tasks
Mission of the Role
You will work closely with Konrad (Head of Growth) and take on a central role in building one of the most important GTM units of our company.
Your goal: to develop structures, processes, and initiatives that enable us to implement the energy transition in multi-family buildings nationwide quickly and scalably. You will initially lead the build-up of our Business Unit “Partnerships” – with a lot of creative freedom and direct influence on our business success.
1. Building & Scaling a Central Growth Channel
You are one of the key hires for our Business Development Team and will work with external stakeholders to make the new channel efficient and reproducible
You will take ownership for building and further developing a scalable partner and project channel
You think not in individual partnerships, but in scalable systems
2. Business Development & Commercial Excellence
You will work closely with Growth, Sales, and the CEO to continuously test GTM hypotheses and quickly scale successful models
You will take responsibility for pipeline, closures, and revenue contributions
You will contribute ideas, test them hands-on, and have a strong focus on execution
3. Ownership for GTM and Revenue Operations
You will use the learnings for building further business units in the future
You will develop and be responsible for RevOps processes that keep pace with our growth
You will build simple, effective structures (e.g., CRM, reporting, automations) that make us faster and better
Benefits
Compensation: Competitive salary and company shares
Start Date: as soon as possible, permanent
Team & Benefits: Fun team, Tech budget of €2,000, regular team events and learning lunches, free drinks, Deutschlandticket
Further Advantages: Daily collaboration with the founders, drinks & snacks, personnel responsibility, and the opportunity to shape the company from the ground up
Most Importantly: You are passionate about entrepreneurship and start-ups. With us, there are no endless slide decks or purely theoretical models – we are building a company and taking a big step forward every day. If you want to help shape something big from day 1, you are in the right place.
A Few Words to Conclude
At VREY, we are convinced that diversity strengthens us as a company and as a society. Neither during hiring nor during the employment relationship are decisions made on the basis of skin color, religion or religious belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, or age.
Even if you don't meet all the requirements, don't hesitate to apply anyway. If you are enthusiastic about our mission and believe you can contribute, we want to hear from you!
The best way is a warm intro: Do you know someone who fits this role? Recommend the person and receive €3,000 upon successful hiring.
Prerequisite: The person is not yet in our process and is officially nominated. Payout after successful probationary period. In case of multiple nominations, the first recommendation received counts.
