Business Development Internship / Working Student (f/m/d) – Munich

What you'll do

Demand is growing – and our team is growing with it.

HW Gründerkapital supports bold tradespeople in building the next generation of successful companies – through operational excellence, entrepreneurial sparring, and targeted customer acquisition.

A lot has happened in the past few weeks: new partnerships, full order books, rapid growth – in short: our model works, and it works faster than expected.
Now is the perfect time to jump in: Starting in September, we’re looking for an intern or working student in Sales & Business Development who wants to be part of this momentum – strategically, operationally, and right at the heart of building something new.

Responsibilities

You'll be part of our core team, working directly with the founders, management, and partner companies. This isn’t about just assisting – you’ll take real ownership and actively help shape things:

• Onboarding: You’ll help new partner businesses get started and ensure they’re ready to launch operationally
• Lead Generation & Execution: You’ll develop customer acquisition strategies, manage service providers, and implement projects with our partners
• Sales Sparring: You’ll be the go-to person for our partners when it comes to sales, growth, and execution

• Improving Structures: You’ll help us analyze and improve processes, tools, and workflows – hands-on and with an entrepreneurial mindset

  Why you should join

• You’ll shape real growth – in an environment where new opportunities arise daily
• You’ll take on responsibility from day one – managing your own partner businesses and helping drive their success
• You’ll experience how a craft business is built from the ground up – you’ll be there from the start, learning everything involved and actively helping shape it
• You’ll get sparring and perspective: personal coaching, honest feedback – and, if there’s a good fit, the option for a permanent position

What you bring

• Fluent German (C2 level) – you’ll be communicating directly with our partner companies
• You’re open-minded, structured, pragmatic – and curious to understand how things really work
• You’re excited about entrepreneurial work, real customer contact, and visible results
• Previous experience in sales, marketing, or customer-facing roles is a plus, but not a must

What we offer

• HWG Sales Academy: Access to our new Sales Academy with regular input on best practices in sales for the skilled trades – from cold calling and objection handling to structured sales follow-ups
• Individual coaching: Ongoing 1:1 mentoring from experienced sales leads, focused on your personal and professional growth
• Peer learning & exchange: Join regular group sessions on specific sales topics together with other sales talents from the HWG network
• Real responsibility from day one – no shadowing, no busywork
• Opportunity to transition into a full-time role if there’s a strong mutual fit
• A fast-paced startup environment where you’ll learn by doing and contribute directly
• Subsidized Wellpass membership for your mental and physical well-being
• Flexible working hours and a centrally located office in Munich
• Direct access to experienced operators and our angel investor network Apply now and let’s build something real – together.
