Working Student, Operations (Germany) – Berlin
Germany is one of our most important and operationally complex markets. As a Working Student in Operations, you'll get to be a part of our growing team in Germany, working closely with our Operations Associates, Ops Lead and HQ; getting hands-on experience in being a real startup operator from day one.
The Role
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.

Reached €150k monthly revenue and closed a €920k pre-seed round

Built country team in Denmark, hired first team members in Germany, closed €5M
Scaling Germany rapidly as one of the fastest growing European marketplaces

- Real startup experience with responsibility from day 1
- A deep operator experience 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 you'll do
- Help to run daily delivery operations across Germany. Make sure vehicles move on time — every day.
- Make real-time dispatch decisions. Balance speed, cost, and driver availability under pressure.
- Own problem-solving. When delays or changes happen, you assess fast and act decisively.
- Be the link between drivers and dealerships. Communicate clearly and keep both sides aligned.
- Prioritize when things get intense. Multiple moving parts — you stay structured and focused.
- Improve how we operate. Spot inefficiencies, suggest better workflows, and help us scale smarter.

- 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
