Job description

Do you want to play an active role in shaping the strategy of a rapidly growing scale-up? As our Strategy & M&A Intern, you won't just be a bystander—you'll be at the very core of our work. You'll partner directly with our Director of Strategy (a key member of our management team and board) and the entire leadership team. You will analyze market and business data, structure challenges with a clear, hypothesis-driven mindset, and develop actionable recommendations. Whether it's corporate strategy, go-to-market, product focus, or potential M&A projects, you'll provide the data-driven insights that drive our growth.

• Customer Analysis: Defining market segments and ideal customer profiles to prioritize where we can grow most effectively.

• Product Strategy: Assessing our product strategy and differentiation, including identifying strengths, gaps, and key development areas.

• Persona and Buyer Journey Analysis: Deconstructing customer personas and buyer journeys to derive strategic positioning and consistent messaging.

• Go-to-Market Metrics: Investigating core GTM metrics (e.g., pipeline coverage, win rates) to identify crucial growth drivers.

• M&A Screening: Systematically screening for potential M&A targets with clear criteria for efficient initial evaluations.

• Financial Modeling: Building preliminary valuation models for potential M&A targets, including assumptions and sensitivities.

• Potentially: Supporting due diligence and contributing to the early phases of in-depth reviews.

What you bring to the table

• You're currently pursuing a Master's or advanced Bachelor's degree in Business, STEM, Economics, or a related field.

• You work in a structured, hypothesis-driven way with a strong focus on execution.

• Initial practical experience in Strategy Consulting, Advisory (e.g., Big 4), Business Development, or M&A is a major plus.

• Industry knowledge in Software, SaaS, or Tech is a huge advantage.

• You're proficient in Excel/Google Sheets and can create visually compelling presentations for management and the board that get straight to the point.

• You have strong communication skills in German and English, and you're clear and persuasive in both speaking and writing.

• You are proactive, reliable, and a true team player through and through.

What we offer you

• Work mode: We’re remote-first, giving you flexibility to work from home. At the same time, we deeply value the power of in-person collaboration. Depending on the role, you’ll join occasional team events, workshops, or meetings in our Berlin or Stuttgart offices - always with plenty of notice. The exact balance will be discussed during your interview.

• Work-Life-Balance: We don't want you to grow roots to your desk chair. That's why we cover the costs of your E-Gym-Wellpass membership and offer job bike leasing.

• Celebrating success: Expect highly motivated and committed people in a relaxed working atmosphere.

• Be part of something bigger: You actively shape Flip in your role. Along the way, you are an enabler of the rapid growth process of a young tech company and grow towards your goals, fun is guaranteed.

• Happy to be a Flipster: Stay tuned for regular team events and culture days that bring us together as Flipsters.
