Founders Associate (Intern)

Berlin

About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a high-ownership internship embedded within a small, fast-moving operations team at an early-stage AI startup building purpose-built agents for the freight forwarding industry. You'll work directly alongside the founding team, taking real responsibility across operations, recruiting, and go-to-market — not shadowing, but driving. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build and manage internal systems, including the company website and operational tooling.

- Lead recruiting efforts and support the onboarding of new team members. - Support go-to-market initiatives to help bring AI agent products to customers. - Identify and secure grant and non-dilutive funding opportunities. - Switch fluidly between big-picture strategy and detailed execution across whatever the company needs most. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Some experience in generalist or cross-functional roles, ideally within early-stage or high-agency environments where you had real ownership.

- A technical background or strong intuition for AI and software systems. - Demonstrated ability to build or manage internal systems, websites, or operational tooling. - Exposure to recruiting processes, candidate sourcing, or talent acquisition workflows. - Experience supporting go-to-market, customer acquisition, or sales enablement initiatives. - Curiosity about how startups are built and a genuine interest in AI. - Full fluency in both German and English (written and verbal) — required.

- Bias toward action, strong work ethic, and comfort operating in ambiguity. - Local work authorisation in Germany is required; visa sponsorship is not available. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS €2,400/month. No visa sponsorship available. LOCATION On-site in Berlin, Germany. Internship beginning Q4 2026.
