• Direct mentorship and exposure to real client work.
• A published portfolio of articles, case studies, and social content.
• Hands-on experience in a growing niche where finance meets AI and cloud.
• Berlin-based team with flexible, remote working arrangement.
Working student essentials
What this Marketing internship in Berlin means for you — pay rules, social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.

Internships have no 20-hour cap, but a voluntary internship longer than three months generally has to pay at least the German minimum wage. Mandatory internships in your study programme are exempt.
Working student rulesSocial contributions
Mandatory internships are largely exempt from social contributions. Voluntary internships are treated like regular employment once they run long enough, so contributions usually apply.
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.
