Working Student - Finance & Strategy (f/m/d)

TLDR

Join a motivated and proactive team to gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurial finance and strategic analysis, directly impacting business operations.

Your mission

We’re building Europe’s leading workplace intelligence platform. Fresh off our $23M Series B, we’re scaling fast, and you’ll be joining at a truly exciting stage of our journey. 

We’re looking for a motivated and proactive Finance & Strategy Working Student to join our team. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in entrepreneurial finance, strategic analysis, investor relations, and business operations. 

In this role, you’ll support key projects and work closely with our Finance & Strategy team, with direct exposure to senior leadership.

In this role you will

  • Support financial planning, analysis, and investor reporting with a strong data-driven mindset.
  • Contribute to strategic projects that have a direct impact on business operations and company performance.
  • Leverage AI tools, including Claude and Cowork, to streamline workflows, automate reporting, and surface insights more efficiently.
  • Take ownership of improvement initiatives from ideation through to implementation.

What you need to be successful

  • Currently enrolled in a degree program in Finance, Engineering, Data Science, or a related quantitative field, with at least 12 months remaining and availability to work 20 hours per week.
  • A strong problem-solver who enjoys learning and tackling challenges, rather than simply ticking boxes for your CV.
  • Comfortable and confident using AI tools, particularly Claude and Cowork, as part of your day-to-day workflow.
  • At ease with AI-assisted coding (e.g., using the Claude plugin in VS Code). You don’t need to be a developer, but you should enjoy building and experimenting with AI.
  • Proactive, detail-oriented, and motivated to make an impact — even in a supporting role.
  • Very strong MS Office skills, particularly in Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Excellent communication skills in English (German is a plus but not required).
  • Previous professional experience in a high-velocity environment (e.g., Start-Up, VC/PE, IB, Consulting) is a plus.
  • You are based in Germany or Switzerland (please note that we are unable to sponsor visas for this role).

  • Accelerate your career growth: Join Europe's leading workplace management software company and unlock rapid professional development.
  • Company-wide summit: Connect with the entire team at our annual summit, held in dynamic locations across Europe. Check out the video from our last company summit.
