(Associate) Program Manager – AI Delivery (m/w/d)

DEINE AUFGABEN 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. DEIN PROFIL * 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) WARUM WIR? Wir sind das Technologieunternehmen, das den Gruppen- und Veranstaltungsverkauf in der Hotellerie neu denkt. Was heute über Posteingang, Excel und Telefon läuft, macht unsere Plattform Rocket zu einem durchgängigen, KI-gestützten Prozess — von der ersten Anfrage bis zum unterschriebenen Vertrag. Europäische Hotelgruppen führen ihren Gruppenverkauf bereits darüber. Das bedeutet für dich: Du arbeitest nicht trotz KI, sondern mit ihr. Wer bei uns anfängt, gibt Feedback, das in Produktentscheidungen einfließt — und versteht irgendwann, warum ein Prompt besser funktioniert als ein anderer. Und weil wir schnell wachsen, ist vieles bei uns noch im Entstehen. Manche Antwort lautet ehrlicherweise „das bauen wir gerade noch”. Genau darin liegt die Chance: Du triffst auf Freiräume statt auf fertige Strukturen, und was du hier aufbaust, trägt deine Handschrift. WAS WIR BIETEN * Arbeit mit echter KI-Technologie auf internationalem Niveau — nicht als Pilotprojekt, sondern als Geschäftsmodell. * Echter Gestaltungsspielraum. Deine Ideen landen nicht in einem Ideenbriefkasten, sondern in der nächsten Iteration. * Kurze Wege zur Geschäftsführung. Entscheidungen fallen in Tagen, nicht in Gremienschleifen. * Wachstum, das du mitgehst. Wir bauen gerade die nächste Unternehmensphase — mit Rollen, Verantwortung und Perspektiven, die es vor einem Jahr noch nicht gab. * Hauptarbeitsort Leipzig mit regelmäßiger Büropräsenz und flexiblem Homeoffice-Anteil. Hybride Modelle sind bei uns gelebte Praxis, nicht die Ausnahme. * Unbefristeter Vertrag, Vollzeit. * Leistungsprämien für nachweisbare Erfolge. * Mehrtägige Teamevents an Orten, die tatsächlich Spaß machen. SO LÄUFT UNSER BEWERBUNGSPROZESS 1. Intro-Interview — wir lernen uns kennen, du erfährst, wo wir stehen und wohin wir wollen. 2. Case Study oder Technical Study, je nach Rolle — ein echtes Problem aus unserem Alltag, das wir gemeinsam durchgehen. 3. Interview mit deiner künftigen Führungskraft und, je nach Position, mit unseren Gründern. Vom ersten Gespräch bis zur Entscheidung vergehen bei uns maximal vier Wochen. Und du hörst in jedem Fall von uns — auch dann, wenn es diesmal nicht passt.
