About this role

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.

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