About this role
⭐️ Your Impact:
As Venture Development Intern (m/f/d), you'll work directly with our Venture Development Managers and our Co-Founder/Co-CEO: running real operations for real Handwerk businesses, helping document how the team works, and supporting the automations that will replace the manual work you do. Ideal for a gap year or the time between Bachelor's and Master's — and if it goes well, it can be the start of something longer.
What You'll Do
Delivery support: run recurring operational tasks for partners — scheduling, invoicing chase-ups, documentation, data upkeep (Attio, Notion).
Process support: help document how the team works (SOPs, templates, checklists).
Automation support: log where manual time goes and help test and roll out small automations (Make/n8n).
✨ What Makes You a Great Fit:
Strong student or recent graduate (business, economics, engineering, or similar) with evidence of real drive.
Precise and reliable — you take pride in doing operational work completely and well.
Native/fluent German and fluent English; a clear, warm communicator.
Curious about AI, automation, and the Handwerk world.
Available full-time for 4–6 months in Berlin (hybrid).
☀️ Why You'll Love Working With Us:
Real responsibility from week one and direct exposure to the founders
A genuine shot at a full-time offer
Fair internship compensation, Deutschlandticket or Urban Sports Club, and regular team events
