Intern Venture Development (m/w/d)

⭐️ Your Impact:

As Venture Development Intern (m/f/d), you'll work directly with our Venture Development Managers and our Co-Founder/Co-CEO: running real operations for real Handwerk businesses, helping document how the team works, and supporting the automations that will replace the manual work you do. Ideal for a gap year or the time between Bachelor's and Master's — and if it goes well, it can be the start of something longer.

What You'll Do

• Delivery support: run recurring operational tasks for partners — scheduling, invoicing chase-ups, documentation, data upkeep (Attio, Notion).
• Process support: help document how the team works (SOPs, templates, checklists).
• Automation support: log where manual time goes and help test and roll out small automations (Make/n8n).

✨ What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Strong student or recent graduate (business, economics, engineering, or similar) with evidence of real drive.
• Precise and reliable — you take pride in doing operational work completely and well.
• Native/fluent German and fluent English; a clear, warm communicator.
• Curious about AI, automation, and the Handwerk world.
• Available full-time for 4–6 months in Berlin (hybrid).

☀️ Why You'll Love Working With Us:

• Real responsibility from week one and direct exposure to the founders
• A genuine shot at a full-time offer
• Fair internship compensation, Deutschlandticket or Urban Sports Club, and regular team events
