Praktikum: Business Operations & Venture Development

About the Company

We are a stealth-startup in the mobility sector, funded by a T1 VC investor, with over 70 employees and more than 13 locations, and we are currently redefining how vehicle inspection centers are built and operated. With a proven expansion concept and a clear M&A strategy, we are set to triple our revenue in the next year. Our founders, serial entrepreneurs who have already raised over $80 million USD from top-tier US investors and have just closed another strong seed round, are driving the expansion into new markets.

The Opportunity

We are looking for the best 0.1% of doers. Generalists who derive energy from implementing things. If this resonates with you – read on.

Responsibilities

By the end of your internship, you will have built more than 3 new locations (vehicle inspection centers), from finding suitable real estate to opening fully functional inspection stations and acquiring initial customers:

• Proactively search for and evaluate new locations in Bavaria, Hesse, NRW, and Baden-Württemberg; negotiate competitive lease agreements with brokers. Emphasis on NRW.
• Manage the conversion of leased properties into modern, technology-driven inspection centers by coordinating relevant stakeholders and ensuring timely opening.
• Flexibly support short-term projects and tackle operational challenges at both existing and new locations.
• Take on a mobile role – spend the majority of your internship on-site and on the road, acting as a central driver of our expansion strategy.
• Improve our processes by identifying site-specific problems and implementing technology-based solutions in collaboration with our headquarters.

Qualifications

• A true generalist who recognizes and connects the dots between different areas.
• A strong multitasker with excellent organizational skills and the ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities.
• Currently enrolled in or recently completed Bachelor's (min. 4th semester) or Master's degree.
• Fluent German (C2) and a valid driver's license (Class B) are required.
• Willingness to be hands-on – even in an operationally demanding environment.
• Experience in fast-paced environments is a plus (e.g., hypergrowth startups, VC, Growth Equity, Private Equity, Investment Banking, or Strategy Consulting) – and you consistently deliver high-quality results.
• Available for 3-9 months in Berlin/NRW starting Q2/Q3 2026.

Benefits

• Compensation: You will be paid, even for a mandatory internship. Depending on the internship duration, this ranges between EUR 2,300 and EUR 2,600.
• Full Ownership: You have direct contact with our founders. Make a real difference from day one and roll out new locations across Germany with our Co-Founder and Expansion Manager.
• First-Class Product: Our product impresses with NPS scores above 90 (B2B and B2C) and consistently high Google ratings between 4.8 and 5.0 stars.
• Accelerated Career Growth: Experience firsthand how a high-growth, operationally intensive startup scales, providing a solid springboard for future leadership roles in operations or starting your own venture.
• Central Location: Work from our office in Berlin Mitte or our Nuremberg office, located in the city's leading startup incubator. However, most days you will be on-site at the new locations you are building.
• Intensive Startup Experience: Our presence culture starts at 8:45 AM, with no work after 8 PM. Weekends are off-limits. We have a strong drive for execution; what needs to be done gets done today.
