Founders Associate Intern

About Finto

Finto is on a mission to reinvent how enterprises run their finance operations. Starting with AI-powered automation for accounts payable, we eliminate manual invoice handling, supplier chasing, 3-Way-Matching and ERP data entry. Backed by Y Combinator, we’re building the future of enterprise accounting.

Our mission is to free the world’s finance teams from repetitive, low-value tasks so they can focus on impactful work. That starts with building a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you’re building on our platform, partnering with our customers, or shaping our story: We just make things finance teams want.

About the role

We are looking for a Founders Associate Intern to work directly with our CEO and shape how Finto operates and grows. This is not a support role - you'll be in the room where decisions happen, own real projects, and move fast across GTM and operations. You'll get a front-row seat to enterprise sales and early-stage hiring, learning the fundamentals of both from day one. If you want to learn what it takes to build a company from the inside, this is it.

We’re headquartered in Munich, with roots in San Francisco through Y Combinator.

What you’ll do

• Work side-by-side with the CEO on daily business - from sales processes and deal support to marketing messaging and hiring.
• Drive GTM initiatives: help prepare and follow sales conversations, sharpen our messaging, and support outreach to enterprise customers.
• Own recruiting operations: help identify, approach, and coordinate top talent as we scale the team.
• Build and improve internal processes and structures that keep a fast-moving company from breaking.
• Context-switch constantly - no two weeks look the same.

What we’re looking for

• Currently pursuing (or recently completed) a degree in Business, Management, Economics, or a related field - strong academic track record.
• Exceptionally smart and structured thinker who can get up to speed on anything fast.
• High agency - you don't wait to be told what to do, you figure it out and execute.
• Genuinely ambitious: you care about what you're building and want to grow into more responsibility over time.
• Clear communicator, comfortable working directly with founders in a high-speed environment.
• Grit - things will be unclear, fast, and sometimes messy. You thrive in that

Work at Finto

• An environment where we enable you to have an impact and where we focus on outcomes, not time-tracking
• Career-defining growth: Big ambitions mean rapid progression, expanding responsibilities, and access to our San Francisco & YC network.
• Shape your future job: You got a chance to build your own job entry
• 25 vacation days + 2 fixed “company recharge days.”
• A vibrant in-office culture (5 days/week) in a modern office
