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.

What You'll Do

• 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

What We're Looking For

• Genuine enthusiasm for preventive health and longevity

Compensation & Benefits
