Internship - Open Application (f/m/d)

_If you’re insanely good at something, tell us your story._
About Nox
Nox is aiming to become the best alternative to short-haul flights by soon offering premium overnight trains across Europe. With a radically redesigned interior and onboard experience, people travel in style, saving time being asleep. We now search for the most passionate and talented people out there to bring the first of many more Nox trains on the tracks.
We believe in strong teams through diversity, fresh thinking, and a shared commitment to build something meaningful. Apart from that, three things matter to us:
1. Stay real. From intern to CEO, everyone will work at least two cabin crew shifts a year.
2. Own it. Take responsibility from day one to shape Nox with your personal touch.
3. Challenge. Question legacy thinking and push ideas that really excite our customers.
We care about strong, data-informed thinking and clear communication, but just as much about building a team with diverse perspectives and experiences. We especially encourage individuals who are usually underrepresented in traditional industries and business contexts, creating a more inclusive and balanced environment for the whole team.
The role
_We are not writing this one for a specific job description. We are writing it for the person._
From now on, every single day at Nox will be the most exciting in our history so far. The foundations we lay now will define what Nox becomes for the next decade. While everyone oversees their specialised fields, from one day to another you can become an industrial designer, logistics expert a brand hero and so on. Not because we planned it, but because it was required.
Therefore: This internship is an open application. Tell us what you want to build, where you want to leave your mark, and we will shape a six-month project around it together.
Tasks
Where you could leave your mark
_Pick one, blend two, or pitch us something we haven't thought of yet. Examples of what previous and current team members spend their days on:_
* Brand and launch moments: owning logistics, invitations and on-site choreography for our biggest moments of the year.
* Hospitality and onboard experience: defining what it actually feels like to travel with Nox, from arrival to morning coffee.
* Operations and crew: building the playbooks and tools that keep the train and the people on it running.
* B2B and commercial: opening doors with the partners and decision-makers who bring travellers to Nox.
* Growth and marketing: building the engine that turns a first train into a household name.
* Product and tech: working alongside our PMs to shape the digital Nox experience from a customer-first angle.
* Anything else: if there is a topic in night-train travel that genuinely excites you and we haven't listed it, pitch it.
You will report into one of our Co-Founders or our Chief of Staff, and you will sit close to whichever team your project lives in.
Requirements
Your experience
_We care less about your degree, but more about how you think, how you ship, and what you have already built before joining us._
* You are currently studying, on a gap semester, or have recently graduated. Background can be anything from business and design to engineering, hospitality or social sciences. What matters is the way you reason, write and execute.
* You have first hands-on experience from internships, student ventures, your own side projects, association leadership, or any environment where you owned something end-to-end.
* You are an exceptionally strong communicator, comfortable writing outreach to senior partners as much as briefing the founders on what is going on.
* You combine structured thinking with hustler energy: you spot what is missing, take ownership, and ship before being asked.
* You are AI-native and use modern tools to move faster, whether that is HubSpot, Notion, Figma, AI research and writing tools, or whatever else gets the job done.
* Fluent English is a must. German is a very strong plus, every other language is a bonus.
* You are based in Berlin or willing to relocate for the duration of the internship.
If you have never had a "real" job but you have built, organised, sold, designed or shipped something you are proud of, please still apply.
Benefits
What you can expect from us
* A small, young and powerful team with diverse backgrounds, visions and skills.
* A culture built on flat hierarchies, zero corporate politics and plenty of room for you to grow.
* A chance to help build one of the most influential products in European mobility and hospitality at a defining moment.
* Direct mentorship and exposure to founders and the wider C-level on a daily basis.
* A competitive internship compensation.
* A lot of new things. If you love the unknown and can adapt quickly, you will have tons of fun with us.
* A free contingent of Nox rides in the future + a bunch of Benefits for Mobility and Sports
How to apply
If you see yourself here, we would love to hear from you. Please do not let imposter syndrome hold you back; we value your passion and potential more than a perfect match with every requirement.
Along with your CV and earliest possible start date, please send us two things:
1. A short written answer (max. 3–4 sentences): Why does Nox need to exist, and where would you want to leave your mark in the next six months?
2. A short video (max. 90 seconds, horizontal, raw and honest): Tell us who you are, what drives you, and one thing you have built or organised that you are proud of. We are not looking for a polished pitch. We are looking for you.
