Operations & Strategy Working Student - Compliance

bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you.

You'll join our Ops team right at the intersection of compliance and strategy. Alongside our Fund Compliance Manager, you'll get hands-on with recurring regulatory reporting cycles across a fast-growing portfolio of fund clients, and as you find your footing, you'll get real opportunities to contribute to the process, tooling, and automation work that shapes how the whole team operates. This isn't a role where you'll be handed a task list and left on your own; it's one where good ideas about doing things better are actively wanted.

Your Role

• Get hands-on with monthly German compliance reporting, Bundesbank reports, AIFMD filings, and FATCA/CRS cycles across a diverse portfolio of fund clients. You'll see how regulation actually works in practice, not just in theory.

• Collect, review, and verify data and documentation from various stakeholders across our fund clients, spotting inconsistencies, missing pieces, or red flags before they become bigger problems. You'll take ownership of the workstreams that keep this data accurate and our compliance process running smoothly. Think of it as detective work with real regulatory stakes.

• Beyond the day-to-day, you'll have real opportunities to shape the bigger picture - improving tracking tools, documenting processes, and contributing to automation initiatives that our compliance team is actively driving forward. As you settle into the core workflows, these opportunities naturally grow alongside you. Good ideas here don't just get heard, they get built.

About you

• Exceptionally detail-oriented and thrives in structured environments

• Previous experience in banking, legal, or regulatory-related roles is a strong plus, though genuine interest in financial services or fund operations matters just as much if coming from a different background

• Proactive mindset and strong risk awareness — notices when something's slightly off before it becomes a real problem, and knows when to raise it early

• Currently enrolled in a related field such as business, law, or finance

• Structured, detail-oriented working style paired with genuine curiosity about the reasoning behind a process

• Comfortable owning recurring responsibilities, and just as comfortable questioning and improving them

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both English and German

• Comfort with Excel, ideally with some familiarity with tools like Notion, Asana, or Google Sheets

Why You’ll Love It Here

• Make your mark in a mission-driven FinTech startup that values each of its bunchies

• Be mentored by experienced operators and founders, that take your development seriously

• Work from an amazing office right in Berlin-Mitte and be part of a welcoming and motivated team

• Additionally enjoy benefits in mobility, food and learning

• Take part in a network of people passionate about investment and work closely with the most interesting players in the private market.
