HR & Talent Acquisition Internship (f/m/d)

At  ALAIKA,  we are building the future of Financial Services with a bold vision: to become the most specialized Enterprise Financial Services advisory & investment firm in the industry by coupling Fortune 500 board room access, the deepest Financial Services domain expertise with a global Venture Capital & Private Equity network. 

Through our three brands—ALAIKA Advisory (Strategy Consulting), ALAIKA Capital (Investment Company) and ALAIKA Building (Company Builder), —we are building the Financial Services holding company of the future. 

Founded in October 2022 by Johanna von Geyr (the Financial Services Practice Lead Partner of a leading NASDAQ listed strategy consultancy) and Harald Braunstein (builder/investor of multiple leading international software companies) & an all-star team, we bring together the best of both worlds: deep functional domain expertise and networks in global Financial Services, along with a proven track record in how to build and invest in leading software product companies.
