Your Role

  • Investigate and resolve escalated issues from the 1st Level Support partner teams while ensuring compliance and adherence to contractually agreed upon SLAs.
  • Act as a liaison between customers, 1st level support, and internal departments (IT, Product, Operations) to drive timely and effective solutions.
  • Learn and maintain knowledge of banking products, services, regulations, and internal systems.
  • Identify recurring issues and manual workflows, and help optimize or automate them using tools such as SQL, Python, etc to improve team efficiency.

  • A proactive, open mindset with the willingness to jump into different topics and teams as priorities shift.
  • A collaborative team player who adapts quickly to change, solves problems with a structured mindset, and manages time effectively under shifting priorities.

Working student essentials

What this Operations working student role in Berlin 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.
