We invest in scientific breakthroughs across three interconnected verticals: Food, Agriculture & Land Use; Heavy Industry; and the Built Environment. We follow a focused thesis that the physical economy is undergoing a once-in-a-generation transformation, and the best deep tech companies are being built right now. Our vision is a future-fit economy thriving within planetary boundaries to the benefit of all.\nWhat sets us apart is the Marvelous Catalyst. The Catalyst is our industry collaboration and value creation engine. We maintain a growing network of relevant industrial companies who act as strategic partners. They provide technical diligence, manufacturing access, real-world pilots, and offtake relationships to our portfolio from day one. For a DeepTech founder, this brings credibility, speed, and a path to commercial scale that most funds cannot offer, and represents our unfair advantage.\nWe are a small, high-performance, low-ego team. Every member carries real responsibility. There is no hierarchy to hide behind and no large analyst pool to delegate to.\nThe core Values at Marvelous are:\nRadical honesty - you say what you think, including when it’s uncomfortable\nDepth over breadth - you’d rather know one thing exceptionally well than everything\nsuperficially\nImpact over ego - you care about the outcome, not the credit\nMission matters - you’re motivated by backing companies that change how the physical world\nworks\nNo passengers - you bring initiative, not just execution\nTasks\nPortfolio Value Creation\nDrive structured growth initiatives across the portfolio: opening customer introductions, facilitating Proofs of Concepts, managing competing priorities\nLead onboarding of new portfolio companies into the Catalyst ecosystem and coordinate ongoing support alongside the partner in charge\nMonitor portfolio health and deliver actionable insights for GP-level decision making\nIndustry Challenges & Corporate Partnerships\nDesign and execute Industry Challenges that match corporate innovation needs with tailored DeepTech solutions from our portfolio and network\nBuild and manage a pipeline of corporate industry partners across all three verticals, from first touch to signed collaboration documents\nSupport partner relationships end-to-end: scope the engagement, design the challenge, run execution, and drive follow-through\nCoordinate expert reviews and technical validation with Catalyst industrial partners\nEcosystem Building & Events\nOrganise and host flagship events like Deep Tech Runway, Industry Challenges, and bespoke formats\nBuild Marvelous’s presence in the Berlin and European DeepTech ecosystem through events, community engagement, and strategic partnerships\nRepresent Marvelous externally with the credibility to engage both a CTO and a CEO\nCultivate relationships with research spinout networks, accelerator programmes, and co-investors to strengthen the Catalyst ecosystem\nGP Support & Catalyst Operations\nServe as Founders Associate to a General Partner: manage strategic priorities, prepare briefings, and ensure follow-through on key initiatives\nProduce executive-quality deliverables: partnership proposals, pitch materials, portfolio reports, and stakeholder communications\nSupport deal flow activities where needed: screen startups, map markets, and contribute to due diligence\nHandle outreachs and sales activities for the fund\nRequirements\nWe are looking for someone exceptional. Someone who is genuinely outstanding and who will raise the bar for the whole team.\n Education: Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in STEM, business, economics, or related fields.\nExperience: Previous experience as an intern, working student, or junior team member ideally a top-tier strategy consultancy, Startup or related role where you learned to structure ambiguity and delivered under pressure.\nYou organise relentlessly: yourself, projects, people, and events. You do not drop balls, even when you juggle ten workstreams at once\nYou thrive on context switching: you move between founder coaching, corporate partner calls, event logistics, and portfolio analysis without missing a beat\nYou communicate with precision and clarity in English; German is a strong plus\nYou act proactively and independently: you spot opportunities before anyone asks, build your own conviction, and deliver without close management\nYou are based in Berlin or genuinely ready to relocate; you hold the right to work in the EU without requiring visa sponsorship.\n Available for 6-9 months\nStrong differentiators:\nYou hold an engineering or natural science degree in materials science, mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, or adjacent fields\nYou have published research or completed a research stint at a leading institution (Fraunhofer, ETH, Helmholtz, Max Planck, ...)\nYou have automated processes or optimised workflows using AI-driven tools\nAffinity for sales\nBenefits\nA foundational role in the Catalyst team of an emerging fund with a marvelous GP team ;)\nDirect C-level and founder exposure: you interact with corporate executives, fund LPs, and exceptional founders every week\nReal ownership: you build and shape the Catalyst function with significant autonomy and clear potential for rapid growth\nA front-row seat to European DeepTech venture: from first cheque to portfolio scale-up\nA steep learning curve in a lean, senior team with decades of combined VC and tech-transfer experience\nAccess to a pan-European network of researchers, corporates, VCs, and founders\nWork from a great office in the heart of Kreuzberg - where the Berlin DeepTech scene happens\nThe chance to help build an investment platform. Marvelous’s ambition spans direct investing, Fund-of-Funds, growth vehicles, and beyond\nIn place of a cover letter, please include a short note answering these questions:\n1. What draws you to DeepTech value creation and ecosystem building, and what would you bring to the Marvelous Catalyst that no one else would?\n2. Describe a time you organised a complex, multi-stakeholder project under ambiguity. What did you do when things went sideways?\n3. Our Catalyst model integrates industrial partners into portfolio value creation from day one. What do you see as the biggest challenge in making that model work, and how would you approach it?\nThis is not a test with a right answer. We want to see how you think. We review applications on a rolling basis and move quickly for the right candidate.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6538,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Venture Capital"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-19T00:26:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.176,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":136,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/marvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/marvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T18:09:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24397,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":720489},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=720489"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmarvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmarvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmarvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/marvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmarvelous-group-working-student-intern-catalyst-associate"}]}
