About the role
Your Mission
Join our newly established origination team and work at the intersection of two things we care deeply about: finding great companies, and building an AI-forward way of working. In this 50/50 role, you'll spend half your time on hands-on deal origination across our private and growth equity strategies - and the other half building AI-powered workflows that make our team (and the broader firm) faster and sharper. It's a rare chance to develop a newly set-up origination function and to be at the forefront of applied AI inside a real business.
Your Responsibilities
* Deal Origination * Support active sourcing through focused research and company identification that feeds our pipeline * Prepare for industry fairs and events - identifying relevant ones, building target lists, and supporting follow-up * Draft tailored, high-quality outreach to potential investment targets * Run expert and advisor searches to support founder conversion or deal assessment * AI & Workflows * Build and refine AI-powered workflows that automate repetitive origination steps - outreach drafting, DD work, operations tasks * Prototype internal AI tools, agents, and "skills" together with our Head of Internal AI * Support AI enablement across the broader firm, helping teams adopt AI in their day-to-day * Spot new automation opportunities and continuously improve what's already running
Your Profile
* Currently pursuing a Master's (preferred) or finishing a Bachelor's degree, ideally in business, economics, or a related field * Genuinely at the forefront of using AI - you experiment constantly, use AI tools daily across your work and life, and have a strong instinct for what's possible. (You don't need to be a developer or regular coder.) * A solid understanding of business and the investment world - you can quickly grasp why a company is interesting and communicate it crisply. (A heavy banking/consulting analytical background is not required.) * Structured, independent, and proactive working style, with excellent written and verbal communication * Reliable and happy to work regularly on-site at our Munich office * Fluency in both German and English, spoken and written * Valid work permit for Germany (mandatory) * Available for a 3, preferably 6 month full-time internship **One thing we'd love to see:** In your application, tell us about something you've built, automated, or meaningfully improved using AI - a workflow, a tool, a side project, anything.
