• Proactively scout and evaluate new locations across Bavaria, Hessen, NRW, and BaWü; negotiate competitive lease contracts with realtors. Focus on Frankfurt and Cologne.
• Manage the conversion of leased properties into state‑of‑the‑art tech-enabled inspection hubs by coordinating with relevant stakeholders to ensure on‑time openings.
• Provide agile support on ad‑hoc projects, addressing operational challenges at both existing and new sites.

• A true generalist who connects the dots across functions.
• 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.
• Currently enrolled in or recently completed a bachelor's (min. 4th semester) or master’s programme from a top-tier university.
• Fully fluent in German is a must (C2).
• Getting your hands dirty in an ops-heavy role is music to your ears.
• Experienced in fast‑paced environments is a plus (e.g., hypergrowth start‑ups, VC, growth equity, PE, investment banking, or strategy consulting) and capable of delivering high‑quality outcomes.
• Available for 5–9 months in Berlin/Nuremberg, starting Mar/Apr/May '25.

• End‑to‑End Ownership: Make a real impact from day one and roll-out new locations across Germany in collaboration with our Expansion Manager Lukas. You'll have direct touch points with our founders.

• Accelerated Career Growth: Gain first‑hand exposure to scaling a high-growth, ops-heavy start-up – a solid launchpad for future operational leadership or founding roles.
• Prime Location: Work from our central Berlin Mitte office, our Nuremberg office located in the city's leading start-up incubator. However, on most days you'll be on-site at the new locations you'll be building.
• High-Intensity Start-up Experience: Our non‑remote culture runs from 8:30am – No work after 8pm. Weekends are sacred. Bias for action, we are getting things done today.
• Compensation: EUR 2.3k/month. No matter your internship’s duration.
