Germany

Full-time, Internship | Based in Germany | Start: September 2025

We are a stealth-stage startup led by a founder with two previous startups under their belt and backed by a top-tier early-stage investor.

We're building something ambitious - and we're looking for a high-potential generalist to help drive it forward from day one.

As Founder’s Associate, you’ll work directly with the founder on strategic and operational priorities. You’ll gain deep exposure across company building, fundraising, execution, and problem-solving - in a role designed to accelerate your trajectory.

## Tasks

*   Tackle high-priority projects across operations, product, and go-to-market
*   Own tasks end-to-end: from research and planning to execution
*   Build and implement scalable internal tools and workflows
*   Work closely with the founder - supporting decision-making, anticipating needs, and helping turn ideas into action

## Requirements

**Must-Haves**

*   At least a Bachelor's degree from a top-tier university
*   Minimum 1 year of experience in a fast-paced environment (top-tier consulting, startup, scale-up, VC, finance, etc.) - high-impact internships will also be considered.
*   Based in Germany or willing to relocate (preferably Frankfurt am Main)
*   Excellent written and verbal communication in English

**Nice-to-Haves**

*   Experience with no-code tools (e.g. Airtable, Notion, [Make.com](http://Make.com))
*   Data analysis skills (Excel, SQL, Looker Studio, etc.)
*   Additional language skills (especially German, French, Dutch etc.)

**Mindset & Soft Skills**

*   Problem-solver with strong analytical thinking
*   Hands-on and execution-focused
*   Entrepreneurial mindset: proactive, adaptable, and resourceful
*   High ownership and willingness to go the extra mile

## Benefits

**What You’ll Get**

*   Close collaboration with an experienced founder
*   High learning curve, fast execution cycles, and early responsibility
*   Full exposure to company building from 0 to 1
*   Option to evolve into a leadership role
*   Remote flexibility with on-site time in Frankfurt
*   Attractive ESOP package

**What Your Interview Journey Will Look Like**

*   **Initial Conversation** (20 min)

A first chat with the founder to get to know each other, introduce the role and team setup, and ensure mutual alignment on expectations and goals.

*   **Deep-Dive Interview** (30 min)

We’ll explore your experience in more detail - focusing on how your background, mindset, and ambitions align with what we’re building.

*   **Case Interview** (30 min)

You’ll work through a practical case to show how you approach problems, structure thinking, and communicate results. 

*   **Feedback Call**
