Founders Associate to the CPO (Working Student, all genders)

You work directly with our CPO on whatever moves the company most — right now that means fundraising operations and US market entry; next semester it might be a strategic partnership, competitive research, or building an internal process from zero.

What that means: This is not a typical working-student job. You will own real workstreams end-to-end, see investor and enterprise-customer material from the inside, and learn how a company at this stage is actually built — compressed into the hours next to your degree. Strong performance here converts naturally into a full-time role after graduation.

• Fundraising and investor operations. Support the operational side of our fundraising: investor CRM upkeep, data room maintenance, meeting preparation, follow-ups, and research on funds and partners.
• US expansion support. Research on target accounts and partners, preparation of enterprise meetings, and follow-through on the opportunities the founders open.
• Strategic projects. Own scoped cross-functional projects — competitive analysis, pricing research, internal tooling, process building. Scope fits your hours; ownership doesn’t shrink.
• CPO leverage. Prepare decisions, structure information, draft communication, and remove operational friction.

What success looks like:

• 3 months: The CPO hands you a scoped topic and stops worrying about it.
• 12 months: You own recurring workstreams outright, have shipped at least one project with visible company-level impact — and we’re discussing your full-time offer.

• Enrolled student (Bachelor’s or Master’s) — business, engineering, economics, or comparable; enrolled status is required for the working-student contract
• Sharp analytical and writing skills; you structure messy problems fast
• Extreme ownership: you close loops without being chased
• Comfortable with ambiguity, context-switching, and direct feedback
• Fluent German and English (C1+)
• based in Leipzig or Munich

Nice to have, not required:

• First internship or working-student experience in a startup, consulting, or VC environment
• Exposure to B2B SaaS or hospitality
• Hands-on skills with modern tooling (Notion, CRM systems, AI tools — we expect heavy AI usage in daily work)

We are the technology company that is rethinking group and event sales in the hotel industry. What today runs via inbox, Excel, and phone, our platform Rocket turns into a seamless, AI-powered process — from the initial inquiry to the signed contract. European hotel groups are already using it for their group sales.
This means for you: You don't work *despite* AI, but *with* it. Whoever starts with us provides feedback that flows into product decisions — and eventually understands why one prompt works better than another.
And because we are growing rapidly, many things here are still in development. Some answers honestly are “we are currently building that.” That’s precisely where the opportunity lies: You encounter freedom instead of finished structures, and what you build here will bear your signature.

What we offer

• Work with real AI technology at an international level — not as a pilot project, but as a business model.
• Real scope for development. Your ideas don't end up in an idea mailbox, but in the next iteration.
• Short paths to management. Decisions are made in days, not in committee loops.
• Growth that you grow with. We are currently building the next phase of the company — with roles, responsibilities, and perspectives that didn't exist a year ago.
• Main place of work Leipzig with regular office presence and flexible home office share. Hybrid models are lived practice here, not the exception.
• Unlimited contract, full-time.
• Performance bonuses for demonstrable success.
• Multi-day team events in places that are actually fun.

1. Introductory interview — we get to know each other, you learn where we stand and where we are going.
2. Case Study or Technical Study, depending on the role — a real problem from our daily life that we go through together.
3. Interview with your future manager and, depending on the position, with our founders.
