Compliance & Business Operations Intern

Internship / ThesisKonstanz / Hybrid

About Marsstein

Marsstein is a European AI startup building automation tools for regulatory compliance.

We help companies navigate GDPR, the EU AI Act, and other European regulations — using AI to make compliance faster, cheaper, and more accessible.

We're a small founding team, so you won't be fetching coffee. You'll sit in real client conversations, own real deliverables, and shape how we go to market.


Your Role

This is a hybrid role that sits at the intersection of compliance, business, and tech. You'll split your time across three areas depending on your strengths and interests:

Compliance & Legal Research

  • Research regulatory requirements (GDPR, EU AI Act, national implementations)
  • Help build compliance frameworks and documentation for clients
  • Support regulatory risk assessments
  • Track regulatory developments and enforcement trends across the EU

Business & Sales

  • Research target markets and potential clients
  • Help prepare sales materials, pitch decks, and proposals
  • Support outreach to companies expanding into the European market
  • Assist with client onboarding and relationship management

Operations

  • Help structure internal processes as we scale
  • Support grant applications and funding documentation
  • Assist with administrative tasks that keep a startup running

You don't need experience in all three — we'll shape the role around you.


Thesis Topics

If you're writing your thesis, we can offer topics grounded in real market problems:

  • AI governance frameworks: How should companies comply with the EU AI Act?
  • Cross-border compliance: Mapping regulatory requirements across EU jurisdictions
  • AI in legal compliance: Can LLMs automate regulatory analysis?
  • Market entry compliance: What do international companies need to operate in the EU?
  • Enforcement trends: Analyzing GDPR and AI Act enforcement patterns across DPAs

We'll co-develop the topic with you and your university supervisor.


What We're Looking For

Must have:

  • Studying Law, Business, International Business, Public Policy, Economics, or similar
  • Strong analytical thinking and research skills
  • Excellent English — written and spoken (German is a plus)
  • Structured, detail-oriented working style
  • Genuine interest in how regulation shapes the tech industry

Nice to have (not required):

  • Basic understanding of AI or tech products
  • Interest in startups and entrepreneurship
  • Experience with sales, consulting, or client-facing work
  • Knowledge of GDPR or EU regulatory landscape

What We Offer

  • Work directly with the founders — no hierarchy, no bureaucracy
  • Own real projects from day one, not just support tasks
  • Build expertise in AI regulation — one of the fastest-growing fields in Europe
  • Sit in on client calls, investor conversations, and product decisions
  • Flexible hybrid work from Konstanz
  • Opportunity to stay on after your internship
