Обязанности

As a key growth accelerator, A11 partners with Europe’s most ambitious startups and scaleups, corporates and SMBs to connect them with top-tier talent ready to make an impact. 
We're looking for a motivated Founder's Associate Intern (m/f/d) to join and drive projects across commercial and operations at one of our Ecosystem companies.
This is not a typical internship. You're part of the core team from day one. As Founder's Associate Intern, you'll work directly with the founding team on the operational and strategic development of the business, owning projects across sales, product, and strategy and turning ideas into action immediately.
Join the A11 Ecosystem -  a next-generation procurement platform redefining how businesses discover, evaluate, and win public tenders across one of the world's largest yet most fragmented markets: €2 trillion in annual contract volume, scattered across 4,500+ portals in 29 countries. It harnesses qualified AI matching and agentic workflow automation to surface only the tenders that fit, analyze 100+ page documents in 30 seconds, and draft winning bids in minutes. Backed by leading investors, the company is scaling fast toward becoming the category-defining player in European public procurement.
Identify and approach potential customers, and support demos and onboardings
Plan, run, and evaluate sales and marketing campaigns
Conduct research and validate hypotheses through customer interviews
Build presentations and materials
Support on documentation, research, and recruiting as needed

Требования

Structured work style with fast, independent execution
High quality standards and attention to detail
Relevant experience from consulting, startups, or VC
Authentic, resilient, with high urgency
Analytically sharp: you question assumptions and work with data, not gut feeling alone
Passion for startups, growth, and entrepreneurship
Strong communication skills in German and English

Условия

Real ownership from day one. No support work; you drive projects independently
Deep exposure to strategy, sales, product, and operations. You'll learn how B2B SaaS scales from zero to one
Results over hours. What matters is what you move, not how long you sit
Direct collaboration with the founders and an experienced founding team
If you’re eager to join the A11 Ecosystem and shape what’s next, we want to hear from you!
