## Job description

Core skills: Proactivity, Practical mindset, Fast learner, Strategic thinking, Attention to detail, Curiosity, English and German C1 Flexible: 6-month internship (open to full-time or part-time). options to extend or a permanent role within the organisation.

Bitmovin is a global Series-C SaaS scale-up that provides award-winning video streaming technology to world-renowned brands including Disney+, Discovery+, BBC, Red Bull Media House, Hulu, fuboTV, and The New York Times, to name just a few.

Our solution suite consists of a Video Encoder, Player, and Analytics platform, enabling content owners to redefine the viewer experience through API-based workflow optimization, fast turnaround, and scalability. Innovations include the first commercial HTML5 MPEG-DASH.

“This role is fundamentally about execution, administration, and keeping our leadership team moving smoothly; but in return, you get an unfiltered, front-row seat to C-suite and CEO operations and a real pathway to grow into a permanent position. It is the ultimate hands-on masterclass for someone with high attention to detail who wants to see how a global scale-up is actually run.”

Elvira Kropfitsch, Chief of Staff

At Bitmovin we value cognitive diversity and the huge part this plays in not only creating a global culture second to none, but in how this underpins our ability to create truly representative, Emmy award-winning products. Diversity in all its forms is encouraged and celebrated at Bitmovin; everyone has a role to play in helping us shape the future of video.

Why Us?

Welcome to the engine room of Bitmovin. This is a hands-on, fast-paced administrative role inside the Office of the CEO. You will directly support our Co-CEOs, Chief of Staff and wider C-Suite, ensuring our leadership team operates at peak efficiency. Starting at a minimum of 20 h/week.

Make no mistake: this is fundamentally an execution and administrative role. However, it comes with a massive upside. You will get a front-row seat to how a global, Series-C scale-up is run, learning directly from C-level executives while mastering the operational foundations of a tech company. If you get the basics done flawlessly, this role is explicitly designed to expand into a permanent position.

## Your Impact

This isn't just a background job; it is a springboard for your career. You will build a rare, highly transferable skill set by:

- Mastering C-Suite Logistics: Own executive schedule coordination, complex travel planning, and meeting logistics across global time zones.
- Running the Basecamp: Help keep our daily office operations running smoothly and manage local vendor relationships.
- Meeting Support Excellence: Own meeting brief preparation and note sharing.
- Commanding Events: Organise everything from high-energy internal team gatherings to high-profile external engagements.
- Direct Executive Exposure: Gain an unfiltered look into international business operations, corporate culture, and leadership decision-making.

What can you bring

We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented execution machine. You will excel if you have:

- Obsessive Attention to Detail: You are someone who spots the small errors others miss and loves keeping things organised.
- High Proactivity & Ownership: A "hands-on" mentality - you don't wait to be told what to do; you see a gap and fill it.
- Multitasking Under Pressure: The ability to ruthlessly prioritise and keep multiple plates spinning at once without dropping the ball.
- Administrative Grounding: Previous experience in an administrative, assistant, or office support function.
- Language Fluency: Professional working proficiency in both English and German (C1 minimum) is mandatory for managing local operations and global communication.

Even if you don’t have experience with every responsibility listed above, we encourage you to apply! We provide support through learning, training, and coaching on the job to help you succeed.
