Internship: Business / Expansion Ops (Berlin / NRW / Remote )

We’re a stealth, Tier-1 VC-backed mobility start-up with 70+ Employees and 12+ Stores that’s rewriting how vehicle inspection centers are built and operated. With a proven expansion blueprint and a clear M&A strategy, we’ll triple revenue next year. Our founders - serial entrepreneurs who’ve raised >USD 80m from top-tier US investors and just closed another strong seed round - are pushing hard into new geographies.

Now we need top 0.1% builders. Generalists who get energy from executing. If that sounds like you - read on.

Tasks

At the end of your internship, you'll have built >3 new locations (car inspection centres) - from sourcing prime real estate to launching fully operational inspection hubs and onboarding first customers:

• Proactively scout and evaluate new locations across Bavaria, Hessen, NRW, and BaWü; negotiate competitive lease contracts with realtors. Focus on NRW.


• Manage the conversion of leased properties into state‑of‑the‑art tech-enabled inspection hubs by coordinating with relevant stakeholders to ensure on‑time openings.


• Provide agile support on ad‑hoc projects, addressing operational challenges at both existing and new sites.


• Embrace a mobile role, spending the majority of your internship on‑site & on-the-road and serving as a key driver of our expansion strategy.


• Enhance our operations by identifying site‑specific issues and collaborating with our headquarters team to implement tech‑driven solutions.

Requirements

• A true generalist who connects the dots across functions.


• An excellent multitasker with strong organisational skills and adaptability to shifting priorities.


• Currently enrolled in or recently completed a bachelor's (min. 4th semester) or master’s programme.


• Fully fluent in German (C2) and a valid driver's license (B) is a must.


• Getting your hands dirty in an ops-heavy role is music to your ears.


• Experienced in fast‑paced environments is a plus (e.g., hypergrowth start‑ups, VC, growth equity, PE, investment banking, or strategy consulting) and capable of delivering high‑quality outcomes.


• Available for 3-9 months in Berlin/NRW from Q2/Q3 '26.

Benefits

• Compensation: You will be paid even if it is a mandatory Internship (Pflichtpraktikum). Based on the duration of the internship this will be between 2.300-2.600 EUR.


• End‑to‑End Ownership: You'll have direct touch points with our founders. Make a real impact from day one and roll-out new locations across Germany in collaboration with our Co-Founder and Expansion Manager.


• Top‑Notch Product: Our product delivers – with NPS scores >90 (B2B and B2C) and Google ratings consistently between 4.8 and 5.0 stars.


• Accelerated Career Growth: Gain first‑hand exposure to scaling a high-growth, ops-heavy start-up – a solid launchpad for future operational leadership or founding roles.


• Prime Location: Work from our central Berlin Mitte office, our Nuremberg office located in the city's leading start-up incubator. However, on most days you'll be on-site at the new locations you'll be building.


• High-Intensity Start-up Experience: Our non‑remote culture runs from 8:45am – No work after 8pm. Weekends are sacred. Bias for action, we are getting things done today.
