Jobbeschreibung

About the Role

This is a high-ownership internship embedded in the operations team of an early-stage AI startup building purpose-built agents for the freight and logistics industry. You'll work directly alongside the founding team, driving real initiatives — not shadowing them — across operations, recruiting, and go-to-market. It's a rare opportunity to see how a company is built from the inside, with genuine responsibility from day one.

What You'll Do

• Build and manage internal systems, including the company website and operational tooling.

• Lead recruiting efforts and support the onboarding of new team members.

• Support go-to-market initiatives and help bring AI products to customers.

• Identify and secure grant and non-dilutive funding opportunities.

• Tackle a wide range of challenges fluidly, moving between big-picture strategy and detailed execution as priorities shift.

What We're Looking For

• Hands-on experience in generalist or operations roles within early-stage startups or high-agency environments where you had real ownership.

• A technical background or strong intuition for AI and software systems.

• Experience building or managing internal systems, websites, or operational tooling.

• Familiarity with recruiting processes, candidate sourcing, or talent acquisition workflows.

• Experience identifying, researching, or securing funding opportunities such as grants or non-dilutive financing.

• Exposure to go-to-market initiatives, customer acquisition, or sales enablement.

• Full fluency in both German and English (written and verbal).

• A bias toward action, high integrity, strong work ethic, and comfort operating in ambiguity.

• Genuine curiosity about startups and AI — and ideally, an aspiration to build something of your own one day.

Compensation & Benefits

€2,400/month. Local work authorisation is required; visa sponsorship is not available.

On-site in Berlin, Germany. Internship beginning Q4 2026.
