Working Student: Legal Operations (m/f/d)

Remote · approx. 20h/week · start immediately


About us

With RAKETENSTART we are building the digital operating system for founders and small businesses in Germany: from incorporating a GmbH to online notarization to everything that comes after. What used to take weeks and cost a fortune at a law firm, we make fast, transparent, and affordable.

We do not scale by hiring more people to do repetitive work. We scale by building AI agents that handle the routine, so our team can focus on the moments that actually need a human. You will work right at that line, where legal support meets AI automation.


This is not a role for someone who wants to coast. We are looking for a high performer who keeps every case in view, reads customer needs precisely, works with real accuracy, and wants to take on responsibility fast.


What you will do

You own the customer experience around our incorporation cases, with AI as your leverage:

  • Coordinate notary appointments and keep a clear overview of where every case stands
  • Answer customer questions in support: friendly, clear, on eye level, never from above
  • Use our AI tools to draft responses, triage cases, and spot issues before the customer gets nervous, then apply your own judgment on top
  • Handle the cases that genuinely need a human head and legal instinct, and escalate to the responsible notary offices or the team when needed
  • Help us make our support AI smarter: you will see which questions and workflows keep coming back and feed that straight into what we automate next


Important: we do not want you to mechanically process tickets. The routine gets automated. Your value is in the cases that need judgment, and in making the automation better every week.


What you bring
  • You are a high performer: you set a high bar for yourself and you deliver, without being chased
  • You keep everything in view at once and let nothing slip through, even when several cases run in parallel
  • You have a sharp feel for customer needs and can meet each person exactly where they are
  • Accuracy is second nature to you: in a legal context, details are not optional
  • You want to take on real responsibility fast and grow into more
  • You study law or something with a legal angle, or you have a strong feel for legal context
  • You are genuinely curious about AI and comfortable working with AI tools day to day, or eager to learn fast
  • You write clearly and reliably, in German at native level and solid English
  • You are self-directed but ask when something is unclear
  • You want a fast startup environment where processes are still being built


What you get


  • Full remote flexibility
  • Real responsibility from day one, no coffee runs
  • Hands-on experience at the intersection of legal tech, product, and applied AI
  • A front-row seat to how AI agents are built and improved in a real product
  • A small team, short paths, and the chance to shape our support system
  • Fair working-student compensation
  • Option to evolve and become part of the team as a full time role


How to apply

Send us a short, informal note on why you are the perfect fit for us and when you can start. No cover-letter essay needed: we want to see how you think and write. Bonus points if you tell us how you already use AI in your own work or studies.

Working student essentials

What this Legal working student role in Cologne 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 rules

Social 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 insurance

International 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.
