Summary Generated by Built In
Looking to build your own company one day? As our Founder's Associate you will work closely with the founding team of AnyTax on the most mission-critical parts of scaling our venture-backed pre-seed startup. Expect an extreme learning curve, high responsibility and ownership on projects across the entire company.
At AnyTax we are revolutionizing the tax industry in Germany and Europe. By building the API-first infrastructure we enable banks, neobanks, and financial platforms to offer seamless and automated tax filing and planning directly in their platforms. We are venture-backed by IBB Ventures, Heartfelt, and angels from N26 & sevDesk.
📋 The Essentials
Duration: 3-6 Months (Internship)
Start Date: asap
Location: Berlin (Hybrid)
Team Size: 6–10 (Pre-seed)
Language: Fluent English, German is a strong plus
🎯 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.
* Entrepreneurial Mindset: You want to see how a startup is built from 0 to 1\. You don’t wait for a manual; you see a problem, take ownership and solve it yourself.
* Sparring Partner: You can think critically, challenge ideas, and bring your own perspective to the table when discussing strategy and execution.
* Tech-Native: You are a power user of AI tools and love discovering new ways to automate your own workflow to maximize output.
Benefits
🎁 What We Offer
* Impact from Day One: Your work will directly influence the infrastructure powering tax tools used by major financial institutions across Europe.
* High-Performance Team: Work with an ambitious, talented team that cares about the results and will challenge you to grow every day.
* Hybrid Work: Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work model, with an office hub in Berlin and options for remote work.
* Career Growth: Experience the "Founder MBA." This is a high-speed environment where you help build the organization you’ve always wanted to be part of.
* Creative Freedom: You will have the ability to implement your own ideas and have a real impact on our company’s trajectory.
* Additional benefits such as an Urban Sports Club membership or the Deutschland Ticket.
