The Role

Job Title: Founders Associate Intern

Location: Munich

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who are Atlas & Nova?

I'll go first. I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.

And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.

Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.

If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.

Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free.
