Join Aampere, a seed-stage, VC-backed startup redefining the European market for used electric vehicles. We let EV owners sell within 48 hours and give dealers across Europe access to new customer segments. The market is fragmented, opaque, and hard to trust, and we are building the infrastructure that fixes it, so more electric cars get a second life and the shift to electric actually accelerates.
And it is working: we grow revenue 4x year over year and already hold more than 1% of German consumer EV resales. Our team comes from the German startup scene and the automotive world, with experience at Autarc, Limehome, Cardino, Wemolo, Alasco, Porsche, Mercedes and KPMG.
This is a front-row seat to how a startup gets built and run. You are the right hand of our Chief of Staff, Benni, who was employee number one at a YC-backed startup and worked at several top-tier VC-backed startups before Aampere. You sit where the company gets steered, work across every function, and take real ownership from week one. If you want to learn how to operate a startup from the inside, from People to GTM to Strategy to Ops, there are very few better seats.

About Aampere
Your Mission
Build the org with us, not for us. We own the People function, and we are scaling headcount hard while building the structure that carries the next wave of hires. You sit inside that build and own real pieces of it, you do not shadow them from the side.
Sit where the company gets steered. The Chief of Staff role lives between the founders' OKRs and the owners who deliver them, challenging and enabling both. You are in those rooms, you watch how priorities get set and pressure-tested, and you form your own judgment on what actually moves the business.
Take the special projects end to end. A chunk of the work is zero to one and does not fit a tidy description yet, from opening up B2B supply to building our PR and comms. The list shifts constantly, and you take pieces from idea to done.
Move at startup speed. A lot happens ad hoc, decisions land fast, and we expect a get-things-done mentality. You bring the structure, you close the gaps, and you do not wait to be told.

What you bring
You are a generalist who defaults to ownership. You see the gap and you close it. You bring order to messy problems without being asked, and you are at your best when the path is not drawn yet.
You have already performed at the top. Fresh out of a top university, with a track record at a leading consultancy or a top-tier startup. You operate above your level, and you can prove it.
You are fluent in German and English. You move between German partner and candidate communication and an English-speaking team without friction.
You want a career, not a summer. This is a six-month, full-time internship, and if you are exceptional we want you to stay. Come in thinking about where this leads, not where it ends.

How we work
Three values, not slogans on a wall but how we work, hire, and grow every day:
Aaudacity. We are brave enough to take risks, fast enough to not half-ass it.
Aambition to grow. We are committed to grow, as individuals and as a company.
Aampact over Hierarchy. The best idea wins, no matter who brings it. Titles don't decide arguments here.

Aampere isn't for you if...
...you want to work mostly remote. We believe the best ideas happen when people are in the same room. That is why you are in our office at least four days a week.
...you want to walk into ready-made processes and structures. A lot of that does not exist here yet. We are looking for people who build structures and processes, not people who administer them.
...you need a finished plan before you start. Seed stage means a lot is unclear and changes week to week. You have to be comfortable making decisions in the dark and correcting course as you go.
...you want to stay in your lane. "That is not my job" is not a thing here. You jump in where it matters, even when it sits outside your job description.
...you want a classic 9-to-5. We are building something big, and that does not happen on the side. The people here want to go all in, not just put in the time.
