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

🛠 Your 0-to-1 Journey

This is a role for a high-bandwidth generalist who thrives in the "Department of the Unowned." Like a founder, you will wear many hats and work on mission-critical projects across the entire company.

• Growth & GTM Execution

You’re on the forefront of shaping and executing our GTM strategy and execution alongside the founders. You are our "eyes and ears" on the market, will actively scout the European Fintech ecosystem for new opportunities while simultaneously crafting the narrative—from LinkedIn thought-leadership to sales collateral—that gets us in the door.

• Product & Tech Bridge

Act as the "translator" between business needs and our technical roadmap. You’ll turn partner feedback into clear, actionable briefs for our engineering team to ensure our API solves real-world pain points.

• Operational Backbone (Building the Machine)

Help us build the internal engine of our company while we scale. You will take ownership of streamlining our workflows and supporting the founders with mission-critical processes and investor reporting.

• Strategic Partnerships & Deal Architecture

Work as a co-pilot with the founders to architect the business cases and strategic briefs that drive our conversations with major banks and financial platforms. You'll ensure our proposals are data-driven and commercially bulletproof.

• Special Projects

Take total ownership of "unowned" problems—whether it’s exploring a new AI-driven tool for the team, preparing for a board meeting, or representing AnyTax at industry events.

Requirements

👤 Who You Are
