Working Student: Business Operations & Automation

⛔️ We are not looking for someone who simply manages our processes.
✅ We are looking for someone who helps to build them better.


About Code17

Code17 is a technology company from Leipzig with a focus on the energy industry. We develop individual solutions around data, machine learning, AI, and software and implement them directly in real business processes. We want to accelerate the sustainable energy transition by actively supporting companies in this sector.

Our team consists of experienced software engineers, data scientists, and machine learning experts. We work on complex technical problems, build prototypes, develop productive systems, and integrate them into existing structures.

We work in a deliberately pragmatic way: understand problems, find a good technical solution, and implement it quickly.

For our internal team, we are looking for someone who thinks the same way and helps us to make our own workflows simpler, more structured, and more efficient.

Your Tasks

You will work directly with the founders and the team and take responsibility for our internal business operations.

This is not about simply completing tasks. We want you to understand processes, think ahead independently, and develop solutions with us that work in the long term.

Your responsibilities will include, among others:

• Automation of accounting

• Support with controlling our ongoing customer projects

• Keeping track of open items, deadlines, and project statuses and following up in a timely manner

• Organization of internal team meetings, workshops, and team weeks

• Support with daily office and organizational tasks

• Questioning existing workflows and simplifying them with AI

• Using digital tools and automations to reduce repetitive work

• Developing your own ideas on how our internal processes can work better

For example: We don't want you to manually repeat the same steps in accounting every month. We want to think together about how the process can be set up so that as much of it as possible works automatically. 💪🏻

What you bring

We care less about whether you can do everything already. What matters is how you approach new tasks.

You are a good fit for us if you:

• are enrolled at a university or college

• work independently and don't wait for the next step

• can quickly learn new topics and tools

• work in a structured manner and reliably maintain an overview

• enjoy making processes simpler and more efficient, especially with AI! 🤖

• use digital tools as a matter of course and are curious about new possibilities

• have no fear of numbers, organization, and administrative tasks

• identify problems and propose solutions

• like to take on responsibility

• live in Leipzig or can regularly come to our Leipzig office

Experience with Lexoffice, Notion, automation tools, or modern AI tools is helpful, but not a prerequisite.

Your Start

Initially, you will get to know our projects, processes, and tools.

After that, you will gradually take over your own areas of responsibility. Our goal is that after a short time, you will no longer just receive individual tasks, but will know yourself what needs to be done and what needs to happen next.

You will work closely with Alex and the team and gain direct insight into the operational work of a technology-driven company.

If you wish, you can take on your own internal automation and process projects over time.
