Working Student – CEO Office (m/f/x)

Department: CEO Office

Employment Type: Fixed Term - Part Time

Location: Mannheim

Compensation: €17.00 - €22.00 / hour

Description

As a Working Student in the CEO Office, you support our Co-CEO and the leadership team in building the leading AI platform for compliance and supplier intelligence, helping more than 2,500 customers worldwide manage risk and become more resilient.

Your role has two equally weighted parts: you drive special projects for the Co-CEO, and you provide operational support that keeps the Co-CEO's day-to-day business moving. You sit at the center of the company, gain first-hand insight into how a fast-scaling unicorn is steered, and take ownership of impactful topics from day one.

This is not a typical working student role. It is a rare opportunity to work directly on topics for the Co-CEO and get direct access to the decisions, people and topics that shape a fast-scaling unicorn.

Your Responsibilities

• Special Projects for the Co-CEO
• Work closely with the CEO Office team and internal stakeholders on special projects across corporate strategy, product, go-to-market, operations and organizational development.
• Plan, coordinate and drive cross-functional workstreams, making sure priorities, timelines and deliverables are met.
• Conduct competitive, market and industry analyses in the fields of compliance, supplier intelligence and AI, and turn them into decision-ready insights.
• Develop clear summaries, reports and presentations for leadership, and support internal and external stakeholder communication with structured, compelling material.
• Help design and optimize processes, governance structures and workflows that enable us to scale efficiently, with a proactive, hands-on approach.
• Operational Support for the Co-CEO
• Take on practical, hands-on tasks that keep the Co-CEO's day running smoothly.
• Be a reliable and flexible point of contact for ad-hoc requests, also beyond desk-based project work.
• Support with selected administrative and organizational tasks of the Co-CEO Office.

Your Experience

• You are enrolled as a student at a top university or business school in Business Administration, Management, Economics or a related field, ideally at the intersection of business and technology.
• You have already gained work experience as a working student or through internships (e.g., consulting, corporate strategy, SaaS, or digital transformation).
• You bring strong analytical, organizational and project management skills and a proactive, structured way of working.
• You are quick-thinking, reliable and comfortable switching between analytical depth and practical detail in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
• You have a hands-on mindset and are happy to pitch in wherever support is needed, no matter how big or small the task.
• You handle confidential information with discretion and communicate with confidence at all levels.
• You have a strong interest in strategy, AI, digital processes and building scalable operations.
• You speak fluent German and English.

Join us for this and more...

• Direct access to the Co-CEO: work on special projects directly for the Co-CEO and learn first-hand how decisions are made, from day one.
• A front-row seat at a fast-scaling unicorn: see how strategy, product, go-to-market and operations come together, and contribute to the topics that matter most.
• A uniquely broad role: you shape long-term initiatives while seeing first-hand how the company runs day to day, with responsibility from the start.
• 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.
• The opportunity to design processes and governance models that scale across the organization.
• A collaborative, mission-driven environment focused on making global supply chains more transparent, compliant and resilient.
