Founders Associate Intern

Who you are

• At least one internship at a Tier A company: top-tier consulting, investment banking, VC/PE, or a fast-growing startup
• Currently enrolled at or recently graduated from a leading university (WHU, TUM, Mannheim or comparable)
• Structured and analytical: you turn ambiguous, messy problems into clear plans
• High agency: you don't wait for a task list, you find the highest-leverage thing to do
• Confident communicator, written and verbal, and comfortable pushing back when you disagree
• Fluent in German, confident in English; additional languages are a plus

What the job involves

• We're hiring a Founder's Associate Intern to work day to day with Max (Chief of Staff), with direct exposure to Deniz (Founder and CEO) and our department VPs
• This isn't a role with a fixed lane: you'll move across strategy, commercial and operations depending on what the business needs most that week
• Founder Leverage: Take ownership of whatever is highest priority for Max and Deniz in a given week
• Strategic Projects: Drive discrete, high-stakes projects end to end, from problem to recommendation to execution
• Market Intelligence: Research markets, competitors and customer segments to sharpen decisions on where Bounti plays next
• Cross-Functional Execution: Work across sales, product and people ops depending on what's needed, without waiting to be told which lane is yours
• Process and Structure: Build the systems and playbooks that let Bounti scale without losing speed
• Direct Exposure: Join calls with customers, investors and partners, and sit in on decisions most interns never see
• Founder Access: Sit close enough to see how real decisions get made, not the sanitised version
• Real Ownership: Visible, measurable impact on the business from week one
• Compressed Learning Curve: Strategy, operations, commercial and people, all at once
• Backed by Exceptional Investors: Top-tier VCs and investors including the founders of Framer and Indeed
• Career Launchpad: Strong performers have a clear path to a full-time role at Bounti
