THE IMPACT YOU WILL MAKE

As Founder’s Associate Intern for our Product Development Team, you will work very closely with our  VP of Engineering Anthony and our Founder & CEO Andreas to enable them and the productivity of their department.

• Set-up, maintain, and enhance recurring analyses to give the Executive Team strong visibility into the state of our business
• Build and maintain lightweight internal AI tools and automations with Claude to cut down manual reporting and ops work

• Collaborate with our VPs on project management, direction setting, staffing modeling, and reporting
• Run ad-hoc analyses and research
• Establish processes and best practices to help our organization mature (e.g. removing silos, sharing knowledge & tooling between different departments)
• Support company events (e.g. offsites, team events, hackathon)
