This is a rare early-career opportunity to work directly alongside senior leadership - including the Director of Finance & People - and gain hands-on experience building a modern finance function from the ground up. You'll have real ownership of workstreams, direct access to decision-makers, and a front-row seat to how a high-growth tech company manages its finances. The company operates a widely used AI-powered learning platform with tens of millions of users globally across more than 30 countries. What You'll Do • Work directly alongside the Director of Finance & People as a hands-on contributor, acting as a trusted right hand across projects and priorities. • Prepare decision briefs and support cross-functional initiatives, keeping projects on track across Finance, Growth, Engineering, and Legal. • Support monthly, quarterly, and annual financial close processes and coordinate with external auditors. • Contribute to accurate, reliable financial reporting across multiple jurisdictions. • Assist with operational controlling, including budget planning, financial forecasting, and liquidity tracking. • Build monthly reports, conduct ad hoc deep dives, and translate data into clear, decision-ready analysis. • Identify and implement automation opportunities using AI tools, low-code platforms, and smart integrations to reduce manual workflows. • Help evolve the finance function from static reporting toward dynamic, AI-enhanced financial intelligence. • Coordinate with external tax advisors, auditors, and legal providers. What We're Looking For Must-haves: • Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a degree program in business, finance, economics, or a related field. • Professional working proficiency in both German and English, written and spoken. • Foundational knowledge of accounting principles sufficient to support financial close and reporting processes. • Proficiency in Excel and hands-on experience analyzing financial data to generate reports and inform decisions. • Experience supporting month-end, quarter-end, or year-end close processes, audit coordination, or multi-jurisdiction financial reporting. • Experience with financial planning tasks such as budgeting, forecasting, or liquidity tracking. • Experience using automation tools, AI applications, or low-code platforms to streamline finance or operational workflows. Nice-to-haves: • Prior internship, coursework, or project experience in finance, accounting, controlling, or consulting. • Familiarity with German accounting standards (HGB) or IFRS reporting requirements. • Familiarity with BI tools or data visualization platforms for financial dashboards. • Experience working in a high-growth startup or technology environment. Mindset & soft skills: • Proactive, self-driven, and pragmatic - you take ownership without being asked. • Strong analytical thinker who can turn messy data into clear, actionable insights. • Genuinely curious about AI tools and the future of finance automation. • Comfortable working closely with leadership in a lean, fast-moving team. Location & Work Arrangement This role is based on-site in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be able to work from the Berlin office full-time. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. Compensation & Benefits Compensation details were not provided for this role. You'll gain exceptional exposure to startup finance leadership, real ownership of impactful workstreams, and a strong foundation for a career in finance, strategy, or operations within the tech industry.
