Probably the least boring job you’ll ever have.

At air up, we don’t just make bottles. We unbore water with flavor by scent. It makes no sense until you try it, and once you do, there’s no going back. Behind it all are teams pushing boundaries every day. Product bends taste and design in new directions. Marketing turns ideas into moments people talk about. Operations makes sure those moments reach hands everywhere.
Working here feels like stepping on stage: professionalism meets passion, curiosity meets courage. You’ll experiment, fail fast, learn faster, and actually see your ideas come to life. It's refreshingly low politics and low ego. Just smart, driven people who lift each other up and make things happen. And whatever happens, it sure won't be boring.

Welcome to air up.

Thirsty for a role at the intersection of offline retail business development, operations and data? 💧
At air up, we’re changing how the world drinks water through the power of scent. After conquering the digital space, we’re rapidly scaling our offline retail presence across Europe—and we need you to help us own the shelf.
As our Working Student for Offline Retail in our Retail team, you’ll be at the heart of our expansion. From mastering KPI dashboards and onboarding international retail partners to driving strategic projects independently, your work will directly fuel our growth.
If you’re a data-loving business student ready to turn insights into real-world retail wins, join us in Munich. Let’s change how the world drinks, one supermarket aisle at a time. 

*** This role is located in Munich, Germany***
In this role, we follow a hybrid working model: time in the office each week to collaborate and connect with the team, balanced with remote days that support focused, independent work.

Your responsibilities

• Drive retail expansion projects: Support high-impact initiatives to scale our offline retail presence. You’ll support the design and implementation of dedicated initiatives and solutions to enable the team to strengthen relationships with existing partners and support the acquisition of new strategic retail partners.
• Support market extension: Actively support the onboarding of new European retail partners side by side with the Key Account Manager and Sales Coordinators. You ensure all required documents are available, product data is accurate, listings are correctly set up, and information is shared with the wider team.
• Retail Sales Data & Performance Tracking: Work with the Sales Coordinator to maintain and update key sales data (sell-in, sell-out, promotion performance, distribution KPIs) across all markets and retailers. Help build reports/dashboards and translate data into clear, actionable summaries for the team.
• Collaborate closely with our Sales team: Support day-to-day operations, help prepare client meetings and strategy presentations, and assist in planning and executing major retail events such as trade shows and fairs. You’ll be a key team member ensuring smooth commercial operations and professional, high-impact client interactions.

• Structured: You thrive on bringing structure to chaos. Planning, prioritizing, and organizing your work and projects comes naturally to you.

• Retail enthusiast: You’re passionate about offline retail and fascinated by how brands win in stores (e.g., shelf placement, promotions, shopper behavior). A plus, you have had first experiences in a fast-paced FMCG/CPG environment
• Independent & Proactive: You’re self-driven and take ownership of projects. You proactively identify opportunities and don’t wait for instructions.
