Marketing & Operations Intern (m/f/d)

Berlin

Full-time

Intern / Student

⭐️ Your Impact:

Smalt runs marketing and sales for local SHK (plumbing & heating) and Elektro (electrical) craft businesses across Germany — in exchange for a share of their revenue. That means we only make money when our partners do, so everything you touch in this role has a direct line to real revenue, both theirs and ours.

As a Marketing & Operations Intern (m/f/d), you'll sit in our Go-to-Market team and work closely with Venture Development to keep partner marketing running and improving as we scale from our current partner base toward 100, 200, and eventually 300+ partner businesses.

50% Performance & Content Marketing:

You'll plan, launch, and optimize Google Ads, Meta Ads and Email campaigns for our partner businesses across different regions, with a focus on our SHK and Elektro partners.
You'll make website adjustments and run optimizations on partner landing pages to keep conversion rates moving in the right direction.
You'll keep an eye on the numbers that matter — CAC, lead volume, conversion — and adjust campaigns based on what you see, not just what was planned.

25% Design Template Review:

You'll review and quality-check existing design templates for partner goodies, catching issues and inconsistencies before they go out.
You'll coordinate with design resources to get templates fixed and finalized.

25% Admin Support:

You'll handle orders for partner materials and goodies.
You'll set up portals and automations that keep marketing operations running smoothly as our partner network grows.

✨ What Makes You a Great Fit:

Experience & Skills:

You're in the final stretch of your bachelor's or in the gap between bachelor's and master's (or already pursuing your master's), ideally in marketing, communications, media, business, or a related field.
You're very hands-on — no task is too small, and you're not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get things done yourself.
You have an eye for design and some prior experience in performance marketing, in whatever form — an internship, a freelance project, coursework, or something you ran yourself. We're not looking for fancy strategy slides.
You have a high bias to execution and strong time-management skills — you can juggle paid campaigns, design reviews, and admin work in parallel without losing momentum.
Fluent English, written and spoken. German is a plus, since our partner businesses are based in Germany.
Available for 6 months at ~40 hours/week, Berlin-based or relocating for the duration.
Nice to have: hands-on experience with Google Ads or Meta Ads Manager, basic web/CMS editing skills, or familiarity with automation tools (e.g. Zapier, Make).

☀️ Why You'll Love Working With Us:

Direct exposure to Smalt's founders - learn from experienced operators and investors
Competitive internship compensation
Deutschlandticket or Urban Sports Club Membership
Steep learning curve at the intersection of tech, product, and operations
Hybrid work setup (Berlin preferred)
Flat hierarchies, fast feedback, and a supportive, ambitious team
Real ownership and impactful projects from day one
Prospect of moving into a full-time Junior Marketing Manager role after your 6-month internship
