Working Student – Innovation & Venture Clienting (f/m/d)

Remote Hamburg
Part-time
Intern / Student

Intro

Still in your Master's — but already ready to shape real innovation? Then you've come to the right place.

We are REHAU New Ventures — the corporate venturing unit of the REHAU Group. REHAU Group is an international family-owned company with more than 20,000 employees worldwide. Our polymer-based solutions define sustainable construction, modern mobility, and smart industrial applications. As an independent unit, we combine the resources of a global enterprise with the spirit of the startup world. We drive innovation not just strategically, but hands-on — from AI implementation to entirely new business models.

In short: We. Drive. Innovation.

Your tasks

Venture Clienting

  • Startup Scouting & Analysis: You identify relevant startups, technologies, and trends — through databases, events, networks, and competitive analysis. You assess them for potential partnerships within our venture clienting approach and connect directly with founding teams.
  • Innovation Research & Market Analysis: You support the analysis of pain points and automation potential in close collaboration with various REHAU business units.
  • Venture Clienting Process: You are an active part of the operational process — from the initial scouting idea to the final use case. You accompany proof-of-concept phases and help test solutions under real-world conditions.

AI Enablement

  • Requirements Analysis & Use Case Identification: You analyze AI requirements from REHAU Group's business units and help identify and sharpen concrete use cases.
  • Technology Research: You evaluate current AI technologies and tools, assessing what's relevant for REHAU — and whether a need is best addressed with existing tools, custom prompting, or an external solution (startup).
  • Knowledge Transfer & Enablement: You contribute to designing and running training formats (workshops, trainings, etc.) and help upskill colleagues in AI — inspiring them and activating them as AI ambassadors.

Cross-functional

  • Workshops & Events: You support the conceptual and organizational preparation, execution, and follow-up of workshops and meetings with internal stakeholders and external startups.
  • Business Cases & Project Support: You create presentations, market analyses, and decision papers for internal and external stakeholders — and help translate ideas into well-founded business cases.
  • Portfolio & Data Management: You maintain and develop our startup, use case, and project database, ensuring all relevant information stays up to date.

Your profile

  • You're currently pursuing a Master's degree in Business, Business Informatics, Innovation, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Entrepreneurship, or a related field.
  • You have hands-on experience in the startup world — whether through your own venture, an internship, a working student role, an accelerator, or a VC/investment environment.
  • AI isn't just a buzzword to you: You've been actively and regularly using tools like ChatGPT and others for at least two years, you know how to apply them meaningfully, and you never stop asking questions.
  • You think analytically and can translate requirements into actionable solutions.
  • You're fluent in both German and English and communicate clearly — even when the topic gets complex.
  • You work in a structured and independent manner and can quickly get up to speed in new contexts.
  • Variety drives you: No two days look the same — and that's exactly what motivates you.
  • You take ownership, bring your own ideas to the table, and don't just want to be part of the team — you want to genuinely shape things.
  • Want to use this role for your thesis? Absolutely, we're on board.

What you get with us

  • Real impact: You work on topics that feed directly into REHAU Group's core business — both in startup collaboration and AI transformation.
  • Flexible hours: We schedule your hours around your studies, not the other way around.
  • Startup network: You gain direct insight into the world of founders and innovation partners.
  • Cutting-edge technology: You work with the latest AI tools, LLMs, and innovation methodologies — and actively shape how they're adopted across the company.
  • Remote first: Work from Hamburg or flexibly from anywhere in Germany. On-site in Hamburg? Even better.
