As a Founder’s Associate Intern at Pactos, you will work directly with the founders (ex-BCG, WHU) and take full ownership of projects from day one.
Pactos is a fast-growing B2B SaaS startup transforming how companies manage their external workforce. Our AI-powered platform integrates the entire process end-to-end, enabling organizations to manage external staff in a compliant, transparent, and efficient way.

Aufgaben
* 🚀 Drive Go-to-Market execution – Work directly with the founders on sales and operations initiatives – from lead generation to closing support.
* 🧩 Business Development – Run your own projects across Sales, Marketing, and Operations, designing scalable processes and new initiatives.
* 💡 Challenge & solve – Formulate hypotheses, test them hands-on in the market, analyze data, and derive insights that move the company forward.
* 🎯 Engage with customers – Join demos, interviews, and calls with HR, Procurement, and Operations leaders to capture real customer needs.
* 🛠 Prototype & improve – Use no-code & AI tools to build automations and improve workflows.
* 🤝 Be a sparring partner – Work side-by-side with the founders on strategic and operational challenges, gaining firsthand experience in building a company from scratch.
Qualifikation
* Currently in at least your 5th semester (Bachelor), Gap Year, or early Master’s in Business, Management, Tech or related fields
* Outstanding academic performance at a leading university or business school - extracurricular achievements are a plus
* First experience in fast-paced environments (consulting, scaleup, VC, or similar) paired with a genuine interest in startups
* Hands-on mentality with a particular bias to action and a willingness to go the extra mile
* Analytical mindset combined with strong communication skills
* Fluent in German and English
* Bonus: first exposure to AI automation tools (e.g., n8n)
Benefits
* Ownership from day one – you’ll run key GTM projects independently
* Direct collaboration with founders – no hierarchy, fast feedback, full visibility
* Steep learning curve – work at the intersection of strategy, sales, and product to scale up a SaaS business
* Career accelerator – ideal stepping stone for VC, consulting, or startup leadership
