Germany is one of our most important and operationally complex markets. As a Working Student in Operations, you'll be part of our growing German team, working closely with our Ops Lead and HQ; getting hands-on experience in logistics, operations, and startup life from day one. Location: Berlin (on-site) Hours: ~20 hours/week Who we are We're building Europe's fastest used car delivery network — connecting freelance drivers with car buyers to enable 2-day delivery, compared to the industry standard of 7–20 days. Think Uber, but for vehicle logistics. We're backed by top Nordic investors and the founders/operators of Wolt & Swappie, and we're scaling fast across Europe. Our journey so far

  • H1 2024 — First customers, validated idea, launched Germany–Finland and Sweden–Finland routes
  • H2 2024 — Reached €150k monthly revenue, closed a €920k pre-seed round
  • H1 2025 — Launched Denmark, built driver pools in Sweden & Denmark, monthly revenue €400k
  • H2 2025 — Built country team in Denmark, first hires in Germany, closed €5M round
What you'll learn & experience This isn't your typical student job where you update spreadsheets and grab coffee. You'll work directly in the day-to-day operations of a fast-growing startup — with real impact on our delivery quality and customer satisfaction in Germany. What you'll do:
  • Support daily transport operations in Germany — coordinate deliveries and monitor execution quality
  • Communicate directly with drivers and customers
  • Solve real-time operational problems — no two days are the same
  • Work closely with our Operations Lead and the central operations team
  • Help improve processes, strategy, workflows, and tools
  • Support driver onboarding and network building
What you'll take away:
  • Real startup experience with responsibility from day 1
  • A deep understanding of logistics operations and how a Europe-wide delivery network works
  • Hands-on experience in customer and partner communication
  • Exposure to scaling, process building, and team building at a company that's growing fast
  • A steep learning curve and the opportunity to join full-time after your studies
What we're looking for
  • Enrolled student (Bachelor's or Master's)
  • Native or near-native German (min. C1) and fluent English
  • Strong communication skills with a customer-first mindset
  • Organized, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple tasks
  • Calm under pressure and solutions-oriented
  • Interest in startups and fast-paced environments (interest in logistics considered a plus)
  • Motivation to learn, grow, and take on responsibility – no specific experience needed
What we offer
  • Compensation: €15-18/hour (depending on experience)
  • Equipment provided: We'll set you up with a personal working laptop so you can do your best work
  • Flexible hours: We work around your class schedule and plan work days together
  • Real ownership: You'll work on things that actually matter and take ownership of the work you do
  • Startup culture: Flat hierarchies, short feedback loops, fast decisions
  • Path to full-time: We reward good work and you have an opportunity to grow in to a full time role. Your future role will depend on your study background, interests and team needs.
