The role

You work directly with the founders as their operational right hand, with real workstreams from week one. You start by driving the development of our next MVP. As our health insurance partnerships go live, you build the operational processes behind them. Later, you help prepare our next financing round: data room, investor pipeline, and materials. YYou own 2–3 projects at a time and share your results directly with the founders every week.

What you will do

  • Build and run the operational processes behind our health insurance go-lives
  • Drive the development of our next MVP, end-to-end.
  • Help prepare our next financing round: data room, investor pipeline, and materials
  • Turn open questions into structured recommendations the team can act on that week

What we are looking for

  • Enrolled as a student, with 18–20 hours/week available during the semester
  • German (C1 or above) plus strong English, our partner and insurance work is German-market
  • Structured, self-directed working style: you break fuzzy problems into plans and close loops unprompted
  • Reliable coordination of external partners: follow-ups, deadlines, and early flags instead of surprises

Nice to have

  • First exposure to startups, consulting, venture building, or healthcare
  • No-code, spreadsheet, or light analytics skills (e.g. Notion, Zapier, Airtable)
  • Curiosity about how startup fundraising works, you will learn the rest here

What you can expect

  • €15–19/hour, remote-first, flexible around lectures and exam phases
  • Real ownership across product, operations, and a financing round
  • A concrete path: working students who excel here are our first choice for full-time roles post-fundraise
