Internship: Strategy & Operations Associate (m/f/x)

Department: osapiens Terra

Employment Type: Fixed Term - Full Time

Location: Munich

Compensation: €2,410 / month

Description

This is the 3-6 month internship for someone who loves finding broken things – and is exceptional at fixing them, fast. osapiens reached unicorn status in january 2026, is backed by Goldman Sachs, Blackrock, and Temasek, and manages ~2,500 customers across 20 products in 50+ countries. With multiple consecutive years of double-digit growth, the scale is real – and so is the customer impact you can have when fixing our processes. You will work directly alongside our founders and ex-MBBs on the challenges that come with rapid growth: building a solid foundation for data-driven decisions, finding processes that need redesigning, and answering strategic questions that shape how we grow in the future.

Your Responsibilities

• You spot flaws in our processes and fix them – fast and pragmatic
• You drive initiatives that touch Operations, Product, and Commercial teams – and own the outcome end-to-end
• You build data-driven recommendations: you define the KPIs, build the hypothesis, run the analysis, and deliver a clear point of view
• You conduct market and competitive research to support strategic decisions: pricing, positioning, expansion, product gaps.
• You support quarterly planning and performance management cycles — translating strategic goals into operational milestones that teams can actually track.
• You navigate open-ended problems: defining the problem is part of the job, not a precondition for starting.

Your Experience

• Academic standing — Enrolled at a university and ranking among the top students in your field, with verifiable evidence (e.g. top-decile grades, a scholarship, a thesis or competition result).
• Builder mentality — You'd rather ship a rough version and iterate than wait for the perfect plan, and you're energized by owning outcomes end-to-end, not just tasks.
• Self-direction — You set your own bar for quality, catch your own mistakes before anyone else does, and don't need someone checking in to stay on track.
• AI-native — You use Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent tools daily to compress research and drafting cycles, and can show a concrete example of a task you did dramatically faster or better because of it.
• Relevant experience — You've already tested yourself in a high-pressure environment — an internship or role in consulting, strategy, tech, or founding something — and can point to a specific problem you structured and solved under time pressure.
• Language proficiency — Professionally fluent in English (written and spoken); additional languages are a plus.

Benefits

• A purpose-driven mission to tackle real sustainability challenges while working alongside global industry pioneers at a fast-growing unicorn company
• Fuel for professional growth in a fast-paced environment, supported by a culture of continuous feedback and mentorship
• A talented and fun team with lots of opportunities to connect and learn
• An internal student network with regular meet-ups that connect you with peers across departments, offer insights into different areas, and help you grow your network
• A beautiful office at the center of Munich (Sendlinger Tor)
