Operations Intern (Automation-First, Berlin)

About the role

This is not a classic operations internship. We're looking for someone who doesn't just manage operations - but systematically automates them away . You'll own real parts of the business from day one: no slide decks, no shadow work, no coffee runs. If something is broken, you fix it. If something is manual, you eliminate it. You'll report directly to a founder and work at the intersection of healthtech, automation, and multi-stakeholder operations in a fast-moving early-stage environment. This role starts as a 3-6 month paid internship with a clear path to convert into a full-time Operations role.

Responsibilities

• Identify manual workflows across the business and build automations to replace them (using tools like n8n, Make, Zapier, and Python)
• Build and maintain internal ops tooling in Notion, Linear, and Airtable
• Coordinate multi-stakeholder partnerships across Europe - including lab partners, phlebotomy clinics, and supplement manufacturers
• Own the customer experience end-to-end: onboarding, scheduling blood draws, results delivery, and retention
• Communicate directly with German-speaking clinics, partners, and customers
• Spot operational gaps and take initiative to close them - with minimal hand-holding

Requirements

• Dealbreakers:
• Native German proficiency and fluent English - mandatory for day-to-day communication with German clinics and partners
• Ability to work on-site in Berlin, Monday-Friday (in-person presence required)
• Eligible to work in Germany - visa sponsorship is not available
• Required:
• 0-2 years of experience in operations, logistics, or a related field
• Currently pursuing or recently graduated from a rigorous program (engineering, business, life sciences, or computer science)
• Hands-on experience with workflow automation tools: n8n, Zapier, and/or Make
• Python scripting ability for ops automation tasks
• Experience building internal tooling in Notion, Linear, and/or Airtable
• Experience coordinating across multiple external stakeholders (partners, vendors, suppliers)
• Experience owning a customer-facing process end-to-end
• Owner mindset: fast execution, comfort with ambiguity, bias toward action
• Genuine enthusiasm for preventive health and longevity
• Compensation & Benefits
• Salary: €30,000 - €36,000 per year (pro-rated for internship duration)
• Paid internship with a structured path to full-time conversion
• Direct exposure to founding team and early-stage company building in healthtech
• Location
• Berlin, Germany - fully on-site, Monday through Friday
• No remote or hybrid option for this role
• Visa sponsorship is not available - candidates must already be eligible to work in Germany
