Founder's Associate | VC-backed startup | First commercial hire

About the role

As our Founder's Associate Intern, you will work closely with the founding team of AnyTax on the most mission-critical parts of scaling our venture-backed pre-seed startup. You won't just be an observer; you will be a sparring partner to the founding team, helping us build the foundation of a category-defining Fintech. Expect an extreme learning curve, high responsibility and ownership on projects across the entire company.

What you'll do

• Growth and GTM Execution: Shape and execute our GTM strategy alongside the founders, scout the European Fintech ecosystem for new opportunities, and craft the narrative from LinkedIn thought-leadership to sales collateral.
• Product and Tech Bridge: Act as the "translator" between business needs and our technical roadmap, turning partner feedback into clear, actionable briefs for our engineering team.
• Operational Backbone: Help build the internal engine of our company while we scale, streamlining workflows and supporting the founders with mission-critical processes and investor reporting.
• Strategic Partnerships and Deal Architecture: Work as a co-pilot with the founders to architect business cases and strategic briefs that drive conversations with major banks and financial platforms.
• Special Projects: Take total ownership of "unowned" problems — whether exploring a new AI-driven tool, preparing for a board meeting, or representing AnyTax at industry events.

What you'll need

• Hands-on experience in high-growth startups or fast-paced environments like consulting, VC, or tax technology.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you don't wait for a manual; you see a problem, take ownership and solve it yourself.
• Ability to think critically, challenge ideas, and bring your own perspective when discussing strategy and execution.
• Native/Fluent German: essential for interacting with top-tier German financial institutions and understanding the local regulatory landscape.
• Tech-native: power user of AI tools who loves discovering new ways to automate workflows to maximize output.

What they offer

• Your work will directly influence the infrastructure powering tax tools used by major financial institutions across Europe.
• Hybrid work model with an office hub in Berlin and options for remote work.
• High-speed environment where you help build the organization — the "Founder MBA."
• Creative freedom to implement your own ideas and have a real impact on the company's trajectory.
• Additional benefits such as an Urban Sports Club membership or the Deutschland Ticket.
