* Engage with founders to discuss growth, challenges, and financing needs
* Attend pitch events and conferences to scout new investment opportunities

* General support of our founding team
Your profile:
* Leipzig based only
* At least 1 year until your graduation (preferably Master)
* Currently studying for a Science or Business Degree
* A strong hands-on mentality and proactive mindset
* Proficiency in German and English (both written and oral)
We offer:
* A dynamic, creative, and international working environment
* A small motivated team where you work directly with founders & receive direct feedback
* Many opportunities to develop yourself and to broaden your skill set
* A high level of responsibility and ambitious tasks within a strong team
* After an initial onboarding phase on site, we offer flexible working hours and partial remote work
We are looking for someone to start as soon as possible – please indicate your availability in your application.
