Growth & Acquisitions – Berufseinstieg / Intern (m/w/d)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential management consulting organization in München that is expanding across three critical growth vectors simultaneously: new clients, strategic acquisitions, and talent acquisition. Our client needs someone who can build authentic, long-term relationships across all three areas—with mid-market business owners, firm principals considering succession, and top-tier candidates.

This role bridges business development, M&A outreach, event curation, and talent acquisition. You'll work directly with senior leadership to identify the right contacts, craft personalized outreach, and maintain relationships over months before any transaction occurs. Two core levers drive all three growth areas: thoughtfully designed events that bring the right people together, and strategic visibility that ensures prospects already know the firm before you reach out.

The role is available either as a three-to-six-month internship for advanced students or as a full-time entry-level position. The scope is identical; the difference lies in autonomy and ownership. Interns support conversations and run defined outreach campaigns; full-time hires own a complete segment.

Responsibilities

Firm Acquisition & Buy-and-Build

• Identify target firms that match acquisition criteria based on size, client structure, digitalization, and succession situation; maintain a live database tracking every interaction
• Write personalized initial outreach to firm principals explaining precisely why their organization is relevant—generic messages waste critical opportunities
• Participate in initial conversations with principals, document outcomes, and manage follow-up sequences

Client Growth & Mid-Market Outreach

• Reach out to mid-market companies where advisory services genuinely create value, with individualized reasoning for each prospect
• Join initial client meetings alongside consultants; progressively assume ownership of conversation segments
• Build networks of referral partners including banks, law firms, associations, and local business groups—mid-market mandates come through trust and recommendation, not advertising

Events, Content & Talent

• Organize formats where clients, firm principals, referral partners, and candidates connect—from concept and guest curation to on-site execution (roundtables, curated dinners, retreats, select trade events)
• Own the webinar series: schedule sessions, recruit internal experts as speakers, promote events, manage technical delivery, produce recordings, execute follow-up, capture contacts in CRM
• Build awareness so outreach is warm, not cold: orchestrate campaigns, distribute content, manage external resources where needed
• Document what worked and what didn't after every event—venue criteria, catering, flow, entry experience—so each iteration improves
• Approach candidates for open roles, conduct initial interviews, and maintain contact with prospects not ready to move today but potentially available in twelve months
• Ensure rigorous follow-through; every contact must be logged in the system—an event without disciplined follow-up is wasted investment

What We're Looking For

Education & Background

• Completed or advanced Bachelor's/Master's degree in business, communication, psychology, social sciences, humanities, or another field where you excelled
• Prior experience working with people who owe you nothing: sales, consulting, recruiting, event management, independent projects, or volunteer leadership
• Evidence of above-average performance in any domain, with clear explanation of what you did to achieve it
• Profiles outside this framework but demonstrating relationship-building substance and persistence are explicitly welcome—we assess contribution, not credentials

Skills & Working Style

• Write messages people actually reply to—the gap between generic and specific outreach defines success in this role
• Listen carefully and ask the second question; preparing your next statement during someone's answer won't work in mid-market relationship building
• Read financial statements well enough to assess whether a firm or company fits the client's criteria
• Sense whether an evening event is landing or faltering, and course-correct before others notice—checklists can't teach this
• Use AI as a standard tool for company and candidate research, meeting prep, and drafting outreach; view repetitive tasks as automation opportunities, not fate
• Maintain clean CRM hygiene—a contact without notes is a lost contact

Mindset & Attributes

• Sustain relationships over months without immediate return; mid-market decision-makers detect transactional intent immediately
• Respect entrepreneurship—firm principals carry personal risk and have built value over decades; treat their life's work accordingly
• Handle confidential information with discretion as a matter of course
• Absorb rejection without being derailed, extracting concrete learning from each instance
• Set the highest standard in everything you deliver—not because someone checks, but because mediocrity bothers you personally

This Role Is Not

• Scripted outbound sales with weekly KPI pressure
• Tech-sales funnel work where relationship-building becomes secondary
• Pure event management—formats are outreach tools, not an end in themselves
• Deal-chasing—acquisitions are built to last and improve, not flip
• Standalone recruiting—candidate outreach is one of three growth fronts, not a separate service function
• A relaxed 45-hour week—events happen evenings, and substantive conversations don't fit tidy time blocks

How We Work With You

Candidates apply directly through Get A Job.ai. Our recruiting team conducts an initial screen to assess fit with the role and our client's culture. Qualified candidates are then presented to the client for their selection process, which typically includes a written exercise, initial conversation, a working session on a real problem, and an on-site meeting with the team.

You should not contact the client directly during this process. All communication and scheduling will flow through Get A Job.ai to ensure a structured, professional experience for everyone involved.
