Operations Intern (Conversion to Full-Time) at Clera · Berlin

About the Role

This is not a typical operations internship. We're not looking for someone to manage processes — we're looking for someone to automate them out of existence. You'll report directly to a founding team member and own real parts of the business from day one: no slide decks, no shadow work, no busy tasks. If something is broken, you fix it. If something is manual, you eliminate it.

This is a 3–6 month paid internship with a clear path to convert into a full-time Operations role for the right candidate.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain automation workflows using tools like n8n, Make, and Zapier to replace manual operational steps
• Write Python scripts to support internal tooling and data processing needs
• Own customer experience end-to-end — including onboarding, scheduling, results delivery, and retention flows
• Coordinate multi-stakeholder partnerships across Europe (lab partners, phlebotomy clinics, supplement manufacturers)
• Build and maintain internal ops infrastructure using Notion, Linear, and Airtable
• Identify operational bottlenecks and proactively propose and ship solutions
• Communicate directly with German-speaking clinics, partners, and customers

What We're Looking For

• Native-level German proficiency and fluent English — required for daily communication with clinics, partners, and customers

Required:

• Hands-on experience with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, Make) and Python scripting
• Experience building internal tooling with Notion, Linear, and/or Airtable
• Experience coordinating cross-functional or multi-partner workflows
• Owner mindset: fast execution, comfort with ambiguity, and a bias toward action
• Genuine enthusiasm for preventive health and longevity

Nice to have:

• Prior exposure to healthtech, diagnostics, or a B2C membership/subscription model
• Experience in a fast-moving early-stage startup environment

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €30,000 – €36,000 annually (internship rate; full-time conversion compensation discussed separately)
