• Support hiring: job postings, interview scheduling, candidate communication
• Help the founders with presentations, grant documents and investor materials

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree with a science background
• Excellent written English; you enjoy explaining technology to non-experts
• Organized, reliable and happy to take on whatever needs doing
• German is a plus

Nice to have

• Studies in physics or quantum technologies
• Experience in communications, PR or social media
• A previous job or internship at a start‑up
