M&A Analyst - Internship

Full Job Description

About Andercore

Andercore is the AI-native supplier of industrial materials for energy, infrastructure, and construction in wholesale and beyond.

We trade with global suppliers and distribute to European customers on our own account. Our AI runs the full trade and distribution end-to-end: sourcing, quality, pricing, sales, logistics, and embedded financing. For the customer, it feels like buying from their preferred local supplier; for our partners, it is the most convenient and safe way to do business across borders. Behind it, our software and agentic AI do the heavy lifting that used to take an asset-intensive supply chain with four or five intermediaries and weeks of manual coordination.

Where we are today:

• Strong triple-digit-million euro turnover

• Seven European markets live

• 80+ people across Berlin (HQ), offices in London, Mumbai, and Shanghai

$40M Series B just closed, $75M raised to date from Atomico, Project A, and Inven Capital, institutional financing from international banks.

We are building the world's first and last industrial-grade AI operating system for materials, redefining how global trade works in one of the largest and most essential industries on earth.

Summary

Reporting directly to the Founder, this internship is focused on driving strategic deal acquisitions, providing hands-on experience across the full deal lifecycle, and offering the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the company’s growth

This role is ideal for ambitious recent graduates or early-career professionals looking to build a career in corporate development, M&A, or strategy in a dynamic, high-growth environment. Fluency in German is a must have due to job day to day requirements.
