Founders Associate Intern

Who we are

Melotech is revolutionizing media and entertainment. We create art through technology for humans to enjoy. In just 24 months, our work has been heard, watched and loved for over 4 billion minutes worldwide.

Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, we are backed by top VCs Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and GFC, alongside world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR.

What you will do

As our Founders Associate Intern, you'll be a right hand to our CEO and execute our strategy across all topics and areas. You tackle the critical questions: Where is the market going and how do we position ourselves to benefit? Which data can point us into the right direction strategically? And how do we scale our internal processes and systems for maximum success? Working fully autonomously alongside our founder, your decisions will directly influence our company's trajectory and success. On a typical day, your tasks may include:

• Managing high-impact projects from conception to completion across all business verticals
• Preparing presentations, reports, and briefing documents while tracking KPIs and compiling performance updates
• Conducting market, competitor, and investor research to identify growth opportunities and support strategic decisions
• Supporting fundraising by creating pitch materials, organizing investor outreach, and maintaining partner relations
• Streamlining workflows, improving operational processes, and handling recruiting at scale with the help of AI
• Acting as a sparring partner for the founder in prioritizing and executing strategic projects across different areas of the business.

Who you are

You're a strategic operator with deep analytical expertise. Your strength lies in translating a vision into an actionable plan while maintaining meticulous attention to detail. You've worked directly with leadership teams to drive critical initiatives and excel at communicating across engineering, product, and business functions. Typically, your profile will look like this:

• Hold a degree in Business, Economics, Mathematics, or a highly analytical field from a globally top-tier university
• Bring at least 1 year of proven, high-impact professional experience from elite management consultancies, bulge bracket investment banks, Big Tech, leading PE/VC funds, or as an early team member at venture-backed, hyper-growth startups
• Demonstrate exceptional analytical and communication skills, with a track record of turning complex data into clear, actionable insights that drive executive-level decision-making
• Are highly autonomous: you thrive when given minimal guidance and are trusted to independently lead and deliver multiple strategic projects under tight deadlines
• Have a clear track record of working directly with C-level executives to drive measurable impact in scaling and strategy
• Excel in high-pressure, performance-driven environments, consistently delivering beyond expectations. High stakes, fast pace, and constant change energize you, not drain you
• Your colleagues consistently describe you as uncompromisingly hard-working, relentlessly ambitious, and fiercely persistent – you do not stop until the result is achieved
• You are obsessed with music, video, or social media. It's part of your identity, not just a hobby, and you are eager to shape the future of this industry

What makes this exciting

You are one of the first employees of an ambitious team, changing the world of media and entertainment. Being early means every decision you make shapes our trajectory. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership. Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your impact is immediate.

We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity. We work remotely to give you complete freedom over your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global offsites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
