CEO Office Intern - Special Projects

Why this matters: Every project you complete accelerates our timeline to serve 1 billion students. Your work directly impacts our North Stars: growing ARR and DAUs while we race to establish market dominance.

What success looks like: Within 3-6 months, you will have delivered measurable outcomes - whether that’s an improvement in sales conversion, a validated expansion strategy or automations that save our teams time each week.

WHO YOU ARE

Your mindset

You are the type of person who:

• Thinks like an owner, not an intern - you don’t wait for detailed instructions; you identify what needs to be done and figure out how to do it exceptionally well
• Thrives in high-stakes environments - the pressure of building something that could transform education for billions energises rather than intimidates you
• Executes with startup speed - you can go from insight to implementation in days, not weeks, and you naturally bias towards action over analysis paralysis
• Leverages AI - as a force multiplier in everything you do - from research to analysis to creation
• Values excellence over comfort - mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary

Your track record

You have already proven you can deliver impact in high-pressure environments - whether through previous internships at top consulting firms, founding your own venture or leading significant university projects.

Must-haves

• Top-tier university (business, economics, or quantitative field)
• Previous experience in consulting, high-growth startup, or similar university projects
• Analytical mindset with ability to translate complex data into actionable insights

• Available to work from our Berlin office 5 days/week (with some flexibility!)
