Jobbeschreibung

About the Company

The AI-driven trade platform transforming industrial supply in infrastructure, energy, and construction materials. It connects vetted suppliers across Asia, Europe, and the GCC region with local demand through a single integrated platform.

Its proprietary AI stack digitizes and automates the full lifecycle of materials trade – from procurement and pricing to inventory, logistics, and embedded financing – replacing thousands of manual, relationship-driven processes with real-time orchestration.

Buyers gain instant quotes, reliable availability, and predictable delivery through a unified operating system. Suppliers benefit from accurate forecasting, disciplined demand management, and seamless integration into cross-border fulfillment networks. The company partners with leading brands to run both dropship and cross-dock fulfillment motions for large‑scale transactions, turning global supply chains into predictable, repeatable, software‑like workflows.

The company has scaled to triple‑digit‑million GMV, operates across six international markets, and is rapidly expanding toward profitability. With a team of 80+ people across Berlin (HQ) and Asia, it is building the world’s first industrial‑grade AI operating system for materials – redefining how global trade works in one of the world’s largest and most essential industries.

The company is backed by top‑tier investors as well as global institutional banking partners, having recently closed its $40m series B – Atomico, Project A, and Invent Capital with institutional backing from Commerzbank and KfW.

Summary

Reporting directly to the Founder, this internship is focused on driving strategic deal acquisitions, providing hands‑on experience across the full deal lifecycle, and offering the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the company’s growth.

Few internships offer this level of direct exposure, responsibility, and performance‑based upside. You will not just be observing deals – you will own critical parts of the process, from sourcing and outreach to financial analysis and strategic evaluation, while contributing to real investment decisions.

This role is ideal for ambitious recent graduates or early‑career professionals looking to build a career in corporate development, M&A, or strategy in a dynamic, high‑growth environment. Fluency in German is a must have due to job day‑to‑day requirements.
