Founder’s Associate Intern

Opportunity Overview

We are representing a confidential retail client expanding across Germany. They need a Founder's Associate Intern to support their physical location rollout, working directly with leadership to evaluate sites, build financial models, and create scalable expansion processes. This is a rare chance to shape commercial decision-making during a critical growth phase.

Location: Berlin | Global Team
Type: Internship

Responsibilities

• Evaluate expansion opportunities by researching priority markets, customer demand, retail formats and competitors; speak with brokers, landlords and operators to test assumptions
• Build business cases comparing rent, setup investment, revenue scenarios and expected payback; make assumptions and commercial trade-offs clear
• Progress the pipeline by following up on live opportunities, organising information and coordinating next steps with internal teams and external partners
• Develop practical location scorecards and decision criteria with the rollout team, highlighting what is known and what still needs verification
• Improve workflows, handovers and reporting with simple templates, dashboards and automations
• Compare initial assumptions with actual results and customer feedback, then recommend changes for future expansion phases

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Currently studying or recently graduated (subject background is flexible)
• Ability to move between research, conversations and numbers, and explain recommendations with clear assumptions
• Comfortable using Excel or Google Sheets to organise data, compare scenarios and build basic financial models
• Take initiative, follow up reliably and bring structure to incomplete information
• Communicate confidently in German with external partners and in English with international colleagues
• Willing to travel across Germany for site visits and project work

Helpful but not required:

• Experience in retail, commercial real estate, consulting, startups, operations or business development
• A project where you built a business case, improved a process or created an internal tool
• Experience using AI or no-code tools to build automations, dashboards or data workflows (coding experience is optional)
