Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.\nMillions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. We just raised a €27m Series B round from strong Investors - one of Europe’s largest education rounds in the past years. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.\nYou will join a truly driven team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something that transforms education globally.\nThis is your chance to be part of building a generational company.\nYOUR MISSION\nThe problem you will solve: We're moving at unprecedented speed to capture the AI learning market, but our CEO and leadership team are bottlenecked on critical growth initiatives that could accelerate our DAU and ARR towards unicorn status.\nYour ownership:\nYou will own and drive 2-3 high-impact projects that directly unlock revenue growth and operational efficiency - from optimising our sales funnel to spearheading market expansion across countries and verticals\n\nYou will build data models and strategic frameworks that inform decisions on market entry and product positioning\n\nYou will eliminate execution friction for our leadership team by taking full ownership of cross-functional initiatives from research through to implementation\n\nWhy this matters: Every project you complete accelerates our timeline to serve 1 billion students. Your work directly impacts our North Stars: growing ARR and DAUs while we race to establish market dominance.\nWhat success looks like: Within 3-6 months, you will have delivered measurable outcomes - whether that’s an improvement in sales conversion, a validated expansion strategy or automations that save our teams time each week.\nWHO YOU ARE\nYour mindset\nYou are the type of person who:\nThinks like an owner, not an intern - you don’t wait for detailed instructions; you identify what needs to be done and figure out how to do it exceptionally well\n\nThrives in high-stakes environments - the pressure of building something that could transform education for billions energises rather than intimidates you\n\nExecutes with startup speed - you can go from insight to implementation in days, not weeks, and you naturally bias towards action over analysis paralysis\n\nLeverages AI - as a force multiplier in everything you do - from research to analysis to creation\n\nValues excellence over comfort - mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary\n\nYour track record\nYou have already proven you can deliver impact in high-pressure environments - whether through previous internships at top consulting firms, founding your own venture or leading significant university projects.\nMust-haves\nTop-tier university (business, economics, or quantitative field)\n\nPrevious experience in consulting, high-growth startup, or similar university projects\n\nAnalytical mindset with ability to translate complex data into actionable insights\n\nNative/fluent English; German is a plus\n\nAvailable to work from our Berlin office 5 days/week (with some flexibility!)\n\nWHAT WE OFFER\nNot for everyone, everything for the right ones.\nCompetitive compensation: We're building Knowunity to dominate the global AI learning market. Your package includes a competitive salary, with equity added once you convert to a full-time role.\n\nElite team and true ownership: You’ll work alongside 60 exceptional people who match your ambition within a flat hierarchy - direct access to founders and leadership without bureaucratic middle layers. You'll own entire areas from conception to delivery with real decision-making authority.\n\nMeaningful impact at scale: Your work will have immediate, measurable impact on education globally and directly improves how millions of students learn.\n\nBenefits: 20 days annual leave, mental health support via Nilo, Urban Sports Club, monthly become1 retail vouchers, team and company events\n\nWe’re not here to coast - we are building something exceptional. We’re a lean team of ambitious people who push hard, move fast, and constantly raise the bar. The real perk is not standard benefits - it’s joining 60 amazing people who challenge you to level up daily.
