About the Role

This is a high-ownership internship embedded within a small, fast-moving operations team at an early-stage AI startup building purpose-built agents for the sea and air freight industry. You will work directly alongside the founders, switching fluidly between big-picture strategy and detailed execution, and will be a genuine driver of how the company grows.

What You'll Do

  • Build and manage internal systems, including the company website and operational tooling.

  • Lead recruiting efforts and support the onboarding of new team members.

  • Support go-to-market initiatives and help bring AI agent products to customers.

  • Identify and secure grant and non-dilutive funding opportunities.

  • Tackle a wide range of challenges across operations, strategy, and execution as the company's needs evolve.

What We're Looking For

  • Prior experience in generalist or operations roles within early-stage startups or other high-agency environments, with real ownership over outcomes.

  • A technical background or strong intuition for AI and software systems.

  • Experience building or managing internal tools, websites, or operational workflows.

  • Familiarity with recruiting processes, candidate sourcing, or talent acquisition.

  • Some exposure to go-to-market work, customer acquisition, or sales enablement.

  • Experience researching or securing grants, non-dilutive funding, or similar opportunities is a strong plus.

  • Curiosity about AI agents, logistics technology, or how freight operations work is a bonus.

  • Full fluency in both German and English, written and verbal.

  • A bias toward action, strong work ethic, high integrity, and comfort operating with ambiguity.

  • Local work authorization in Germany required; visa sponsorship is not available.
