For a longer period of time
Your role in a portfolio company
We offer you the opportunity to take on a role in a portfolio company that matches your seniority and desired development for a longer period of time (approx. 12-24 months).

If you are interested, a longer-term career within the portfolio company is also possible after such a move.
Grow in an environment that offers you the unique opportunity to mature as an entrepreneur. You will work directly with decision-makers.
You will quickly take on responsibility, be it in the development of investments or in transaction processes. In return, we expect you to perform with a high level focus and commitment.
What counts for us is content and performance. You will experience the impact your ideas have on our shared success when you bring your full motivation to bear and act in line with our goals.
We challenge and encourage. You will work on complex challenges and get the chance to prove yourself to companies, investors, and executives with your skills.

WAbout us:
At DEDIQ, we see ourselves not only as active investors, but also as entrepreneurs. We drive the further development of business models and contribute not only entrepreneurial expertise, but also capital and know-how to advance the strategic and operational development of our investments. As active shareholders or managers, we are involved from the conception to the implementation of value levers. In this way, we achieve above-average growth and performance together with the teams in our portfolio companies. We leverage the opportunities offered by digitalization to make successful business models even more successful. We invest exclusively long-term entrepreneurial capital, which allows us to develop companies over the long term and make smart investments in business models without exit pressure.
In short: we build champions – and to do so, we are looking for you!
We want to intensively develop your entrepreneurial skills while fostering creative thinking, analytical skills, and the ability to take on operational responsibility. Our goal is for you to gain insights into investments and operational work right from the start and, step by step, take on more responsibility.
This will make you a better investor in our focus sectors, as you’ll develop a truly in-depth understanding of the value drivers of these business models. In practice, this means you’ll become familiar with various facets of investment and operational work.
For example, during acquisition or divestiture processes, you may spend the majority of your time on M&A activities, but afterward you’ll support operational projects at one of our portfolio companies for an extended period—for example, in the areas of finance or corporate development.
If you enjoy entrepreneurial work and perform exceptionally well, the operational role can also be long-term—you’ll have the opportunity to pursue a management or entrepreneurial career with us. When and for how long you’ll be in an operational role depends, on the one hand, on the opportunities available on the DEDIQplatform and, on the other hand, of course, on your personal strengths and interests.
Our platform offers you many learning and development opportunities throughout your career— if you’re ready to take advantage of them and continually take on new challenges
Your background:
• Several internships or initial experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity,
or the startup/scale-up environment
• Excellent analytical skills and a strong understanding of financial figures and
business contexts
• Motivation to work on both operational and strategic tasks and
to develop innovative solutions
• A completed degree in economics, engineering, or
the natural sciences
• A dedicated team player with a high degree of initiative and independence
• Proficiency with software relevant to the job, such as the MS Office suite, as well as the
ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new tools
Your perspective:
• You’ll learn the ins and outs of working in the private equity sector from the ground up and develop
step by step as your experience grows
• By taking on operational responsibility within our portfolio companies, you’ll not only
make a decisive contribution to creating corporate value, but also specifically
sharpen your own professional profile
Our offering
• Unique development opportunities and a steep learning curve through direct
collaboration with experienced partners, entrepreneurs, and managers
• Entrepreneurial approach from day one—from the very first look at a company,
we identify potential for operational and strategic growth
• Attractive compensation package, including a performance-based bonus and the opportunity to
value growth of our portfolio companies
• Diverse and challenging tasks in a team where everyone plays a
crucial role in long-term success
• The chance to pursue an entrepreneurial career—actively shaping
our portfolio companies
• Pragmatic communication and
collaboration focused on substance and ambitious goals, with flat hierarchies
