Knowunity is building the future of learning, and our Finance function needs to scale just as fast. We're looking for a Working Student to join our Director Finance & People as a right hand in the making: part finance assistant, part builder, fully embedded in how we run the business. You'll work directly alongside our Director Finance & People and get exposure to our founders, supporting everything from financial close and reporting to process automation and cross-functional projects. Think of this as a mini-strategy seat inside Finance : high ownership for a working student role, direct leadership access, and the chance to shape how we work from the ground up while you're still in university. Your Impact Support to the Director : Be the Director's day-to-day support, help organize meetings and follow-ups, prepare materials, and keep cross-functional topics moving so nothing falls through the cracks. Finance Operations & Accounting : Support key financial processes including monthly/quarterly/annual close and coordination with external auditors. Help ensure smooth and accurate financial reporting across jurisdictions. Controlling Support : Support the team on operational controlling tasks, help prepare monthly reports, maintain trackers, and assist with ad hoc data pulls and analyses. AI & Automation : Spot and pilot opportunities to automate manual finance workflows using AI tools, low-code platforms, and smart integrations. Be a driver of our shift from static reporting to dynamic, AI-enhanced financial intelligence. Cross-Functional Bridge : Support coordination with tax advisors, auditors, and legal providers. Help connect Finance & People with the wider org (Growth, Engineering, etc.). Future-Ready Finance : Help lay the foundations for a digital finance backbone, contribute to building intelligent dashboards and KPI trackers as Knowunity grows. Your Background Studies : Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program at a top-tier university in business, finance, economics, or a related field. Available for 20 hours per week, ideally for at least 6–12 months. First Experience : First internship or working student experience in finance, consulting, or a high-growth startup is a strong plus, not a hard requirement. What matters more is hunger and a clear eye for what good looks like. Analytical Chops : Strong analytical mindset with solid Excel skills. You enjoy turning messy data into clear answers. Tech-Forward Mindset : Comfortable using AI tools in your day-to-day. Always looking for ways to automate and improve. Familiarity with low-code platforms is a plus. Accounting Knowledge : Basic understanding of German accounting practices is a plus; curiosity about international standards (IFRS) is welcome. Languages : Fluent in German and English, written and spoken. Mindset : A builder and operator at heart, proactive, self-driven, pragmatic, and energized by working directly with leadership to shape something from the ground up.
