We are venture-backed by IBB Ventures, Heartfelt, and angels from N26 & sevDesk.

Start Date: asap
Location: Berlin (Hybrid)
Team Size: 6–10 (Pre-seed)

The Mission: Modernizing a Legacy Industry
While banking and investing have become real-time, the billion dollar tax market is still stuck in a manual, opaque past. We are changing that. As our Founder's Associate Intern, you won't just be an observer; you will be a sparring partner to the founding team (Yash, Moritz, and Kirill), helping us build the foundation of a category-defining Fintech.
Tasks
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
- Ideal: Hands-on experience in high-growth startups or other fast-paced environments like consulting, VC or tax technology.

- Sparring Partner: You can think critically, challenge ideas, and bring your own perspective to the table when discussing strategy and execution.
- Native/Fluent German: Essential for interacting with top-tier German financial institutions and understanding the local regulatory landscape.
- Tech-Native: You are a power user of AI tools and love discovering new ways to automate your own workflow to maximize output.
