Description
We are hiring an Engagement Associate to work closely with our Engagement Managers, strengthening and growing our relationships with leading retailers. You will start close to the ground which means understanding our technology, supporting deployments, and managing day-to-day client operations with the goal of independently owning accounts.
The DACH retail market is one of our most strategically important. Your work will directly shape how Trigo shows up for some of its most significant clients while also engaging with our own senior management early on.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
We care more about how you think and how fast you grow than ticking every box. If you are excited about this role but do not meet every requirement, we would still love to hear from you.
Essential:
- Native or fluent German speaker, strong English, other languages are a plus.
- A background bridging business &tech (Business Informatics, Information Systems, Computer Science, or equivalent)
- Comfortable in technical environments which means being able to understand and clearly communicate issues to engineering teams.
- High ownership mindset: you take initiative.
- Eager to learn fast, collaborate across time zones, and embrace an AI-first way of working.
- Flexibility to travel regularly.
Nice to have:
- Experience in a client-facing or operational role (internships and student projects count).
- Familiarity with retail or FMCG environments.
- Exposure to AI, computer-vision, IoT, or edge computing.
- Experience with international or cross-cultural teams.
A day in the life
What You'll Do
In your first 12 months:
- Get on the ground. Visit stores, talk to client staff, and understand how our technology performs in the real world. When issues arise, coordinate resolution with TechOps and R&D. We value faster fixes, fewer escalations.
- Drive with data. Use analytics tools to surface what is actually happening in data and turn that into clear, evidence-backed recommendations.
- Shape the product. Spend time with client operations and IT teams to understand where friction exists. Bring gaps and opportunities back with a point of view.
- Communicate proactively. Manage day-to-day queries, flag issues proactively, and keep stakeholders updated with clarity.
- Surface insights that drive action. When you find something meaningful in the data, frame it for the right audience.
- Work AI-first. Experiment with AI tools in your own workflows. Whether analysing data, drafting communications, finding smarter ways to operate. If you spot a better way, we want you to try it.
As you grow into the role (12+ months):
- Own engagement tasks for our clients.
- Support rollout planning and expansion coordination across accounts.
- Run client reporting: operational reviews and senior briefings that benchmark performance and make Trigo's value clear.
- Use data to identify trends before clients do and position Trigo as the partner that thinks ahead.
- Feed field insights back to Product and R&D to help shape the roadmap.
Perks and Benefits
We move fast, operate with high trust, and genuinely care about the work. You will be close to the technology, close to the clients, and close to the decisions that shape the company.
Our culture blends startup pace with a sense of directness, curiosity, and ownership. Being AI-first is part of our DNA as we build AI into how we analyse, communicate, and solve problems, and we expect our team to push what is possible with these tools.
There's no 'wait for permission' culture here. If you see something, you say it. If you find a better way, you try it.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary.
- Flexible working: Hybrid in London (preferred) or hybrid/remote in Germany (Duesseldorf area)
- A front-row seat to deploying real-world AI across one of Europe's largest retail markets.
- Clear growth path to client engagement, with active investment in your development.
- A small, high-calibre team where your work is visible and your contribution is truly felt.
- The experience of working across cultures.
