Your Impact
Are you a "people person" with a sharp mind and a passion for organizational culture? We are looking for a highly motivated Working Student to join our People team in Munich!
We are looking for a dedicated student to act as the "right hand" to our two senior People Business Partners (one based in Munich and one in Boston). You will play a crucial role in ensuring our People operations run smoothly, supporting high-impact projects, and helping us maintain a culture that is both high-performing and incredibly fun.
You will:
- Direct Support: Work closely with two Senior PBPs to assist with daily administrative tasks, ensuring our stakeholders receive world-class support.
- Global Coordination: Bridge the gap between Munich and Boston! You’ll help coordinate meetings and communications across time zones.
- Project Management: Support key People initiatives (such as the Annual Performance review, Engagement plans…)

- Communication: Draft "people-minded" internal communications and help prepare presentations for senior stakeholders.
What you need to succeed:
- Current Student: You are currently enrolled in a University program (Business, Psychology, HR, or similar) and are based in the Munich area.
- Sharp & Proactive: You learn quickly, you aren't afraid to ask questions, and you always look for ways to improve a process.
- Language Skills: Your English is excellent (written and spoken). German is a plus but not required as we are a global team.
- People-Minded: You lead with empathy and genuinely care about the employee experience.
- Reliable: You can handle confidential information with discretion and take ownership of your tasks from start to finish.
Nice to have:
- Some experience working in a fast-paced environment, e.g., a startup, student project, or part-time job.

- Interest in supporting daily office operations and working in a hybrid work environment.
