Description provided by Norman
Berlin (hybrid) · Norman · Start ASAP
Norman is building an Accounting Autopilot for self-employed and SMBs in Germany. We’re looking for a Founder’s Associate (GTM/Growth) to work directly with the CEO on whatever moves the needle: growth experiments, content that converts, partnerships, and outbound.
Tasks
What you’ll do
You’ll own projects end-to-end, with guidance and fast feedback:
Growth & Marketing (B2C / SMB)
- Build and ship content that ranks and converts: SEO pages, guides, landing pages, email sequences
- Run growth experiments: ads, funnels, referral loops, “free tools”, partnerships with creators
- Research customer problems (calls, surveys, support logs) and turn insights into better messaging
Business Development (Enterprise / Platforms)
- Find and qualify leads (banks, platforms, fintechs, SaaS) and keep a clean pipeline
- Draft outreach that actually gets replies (emails, LinkedIn, warm intro notes)
- Support partner deals: prep decks, build simple business cases, summarize calls, manage follow-ups
Requirements
What we’re looking for
- You’re high-agency: you don’t wait for perfect instructions — you propose, execute, iterate
- Strong communication skills (C1 German is a must)
- You like marketing + sales and can comfortably call a customer
- You’re AI-native (you use AI daily), but you can still think clearly on your own
- Bonus: you’ve built something before (a project, a community, a newsletter, a side hustle)
Practical stuff
- Time: 10–20h/week (flexible around studies), or full-time internship depending on fit
- Location: Berlin (hybrid), most days - remote
How to apply
Send:
- a short intro (who you are + why Norman)
- CV or LinkedIn
- your availability (hours/week + start date)
Working student essentials
What this Marketing working student role in Berlin means for you: the weekly-hours rules, the social-contribution perks, and what international students should check before applying.
Weekly hours
Working students may work up to 20 hours a week during the semester and full-time during the breaks. Staying within this keeps your student status and the Werkstudent benefits.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Under the Werkstudentenprivileg you're exempt from health, care and unemployment insurance contributions — only pension insurance applies. That leaves more net pay than a regular job.
Check your insuranceInternational students
Non-EU students can work 140 full or 280 half days per year (raised from 120/240 in March 2024). A working student contract usually fits within this — confirm the exact limits printed on your residence permit.
