Description provided by Stealth Startup

We’re a stealth, Tier-1 VC-backed seed-stage mobility start-up that’s rewriting how vehicle inspection centers are built and operated.


With a proven expansion blueprint and a clear M&A strategy, we’ll triple revenue next year. Currently, in 4 states across Germany we have 14 Centers and 75+ colleagues.


Our founders - serial entrepreneurs who’ve raised >USD 80m from top-tier US investors and just closed another strong Seed round - are pushing hard into new geographies.


Now we need top 0.1% builders. Generalists who get energy from executing. If that sounds like you - read on.


Tasks

You’ll be the versatile generalist we need. Drive cross-functional value creation in M&A, venture/business development, data analytics, automation, finance, sales, ops, fundraising. This position requires a fast learner who is smart, hungry, and humble. Are you in?


No two weeks will look the same. One day you’ll recruit and onboard a new ops team at a rollout site, the next you’ll build a automation deployed accross all locations.


Requirements

You’re a generalist who can connect dots others don’t even see. You thrive on chaos, love fast learning curves, and deliver quality under pressure.



  • A true generalist who connects the dots across functions.

  • Experienced in fast‑paced environments (hypergrowth start‑ups, VC, growth equity, PE, investment banking, or strategy consulting) and capable of delivering high‑quality outcomes.

  • An excellent multitasker with strong organisational skills and adaptability to shifting priorities.

  • A proactive communicator and team player with a service mindset and high integrity.

  • Passionate about entrepreneurship and the start-up ecosystem with a genuine hunger to learn, grow and build a massive ops-heavy company.

  • Currently completing a bachelor's (4th semester and above) or master’s programme (business-related field is a plus) from a top-tier university.

  • Fully fluent in German is a must (C2).


Benefits

Our Offer: Small HQ team, high intensity, and big outcomes. You’ll move fast and work directly with founders who trust you to deliver.



  • Huge End-to-End Ownership: Make a real impact from day one across functions. Shape a fast-scaling platform at its inception.

  • Accelerated Career Growth: Gain first‑hand exposure in a scaling a high-growth, ops-heavy start-up – a solid launchpad for future leadership or founding roles. Experience a small core team with flat hierarchies and direct decision paths.

  • Prime Location: Work from our central Berlin Mitte office or our Nuremberg office located in the city's leading start-up incubator.

  • High-Intensity Start-up Experience: Our non‑remote culture runs from 8:30am - Check-out at 8pm. Bias for action in a revenue-driven start-up that has substantial traction and is profitable at the core.

  • Top‑Notch Product: Our product delivers - with NPS scores >90 (B2B and B2C) and Google ratings consistently between 4.8 and 5.0 stars.

  • Strong Compensation: 2.3k/month (3 months) & 2.6k/month (> 4 months); corporate fitness (Wellpass).


Sounds like you? Let’s chat.


Hiring Process:



  • Intro Chat: 30-minute call Sebastian (Chief of Staf) to align on goals and context.

  • Case Study: Take-home case study (~4-6 hours).

  • Founder Interview: Culture fit chat w/ founder.


All within one week. We move fast - you should too.

Working student essentials

What this Operations internship in Berlin means for you: the pay rules, the social contributions, and what international students should check before applying.

Weekly hours

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 rules

Social 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 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.
