Founders Associate Intern
We are a fast-growing, venture-backed Munich startup rebuilding how modern businesses operate, and we are looking for a high-velocity partner to step directly into the engine room. Skipping the usual corporate busywork, this role places you alongside our leadership team to turn strategic chaos into structured execution.
Overview
Why this role matters
As we scale our operations, our leadership team and Chief of Staff need an execution force multiplier to manage rapid growth across finance, expansion, and business operations. Without this role, critical strategic initiatives remain on the whiteboard; with you, we translate complex decisions into immediate, high-impact operational realities.
Responsibilities
What you'll do
You will own the day-to-day execution of strategic projects across our business operations, translating high-level decisions into structured workflows.
- Build and maintain internal knowledge bases and operational hubs inside Notion.
- Develop analytical data models and tracking systems using Google Sheets and Excel to monitor core business metrics.
- Execute end-to-end operational projects across finance, growth funnels, and internal expansion.
- Design highly structured, clear presentation materials and updates using Google Slides.
- Deploy AI-native workflows and daily AI tooling to automate manual tasks and accelerate team throughput.
Candidate profile
Who this is a fit for
- Analytical thinker with a strong background in Business, Economics, Finance, or Engineering.
- AI-native executor who naturally integrates advanced AI tools into daily work systems.
- Startup enthusiast with exposure to VC-backed environments and SaaS growth metrics.
- Action-biased operator who balances speed with high precision under pressure.
- Community-minded driver with a track record of side projects or student initiatives.
- Bilingual communicator fluent in English, with German language skills being a strong plus.
Culture
What it's like to work here
Fast-moving, high-autonomy environment emphasizing office-first collaboration, zero hand-holding, and end-to-end ownership. Based at the Munich office with table tennis, unlimited coffee, and active team vibes. Not suitable for candidates looking for a structured corporate environment or step-by-step guidance.
What you get
The offer
- 360-degree business exposure working directly alongside founders and our Chief of Staff.
- High-autonomy culture with zero hand-holding and complete end-to-end ownership of your projects.
- Vibrant team environment at our Munich office (Stiglmaierplatz) featuring active team vibes and table tennis.
- Steep learning curve designed to prepare you for future founding roles or venture capital.
Skills
Structured analytical thinking · AI-native workflows (using AI tools daily) · Google Sheets or Excel proficiency · Notion and Google Slides · Operational project execution · German language skills · Prior experience in startups or VC-backed environments (SaaS metrics, growth funnels, etc.) · Track record of side projects, student initiatives, or community work
A quick note
This probably isn't for you if:
- You need structured guidance. If you require step-by-step instructions, corporate playbooks, or constant hand-holding, you will struggle here.
- You want a theoretical strategy role. We do not spend weeks polishing slides or debating abstract long-term visions; we prioritize rapid execution.
- You have a "not my job" attitude. We move fast, and no task is too small or too operational for anyone on the team.
