We're a team with experience in unicorns (Satispay, Scalapay, Lansweeper, Soldo), scaleups, and big corporates (Microsoft, Apple, BCG, Bain, Ferrari, and more) tackling one of the biggest and most outdated verticals with AI: Procurement & Supply Chain.
Procurement teams manage trillions of euros every year yet still rely on emails and spreadsheets. We are here to change that by giving them the tech stack they deserve, the same way Sales has Salesforce and HR has Workday.
We are growing fast and looking for top talent to join the ride.
We're looking for a Founder's Associate Intern to join the Founder's Office and get a hands-on, close-up view of how a fast-growing startup is actually run.
This is not a coffee-and-calendars internship. It's a chance to sit next to the people making the calls: the founders and the Founder's Associates, and to actively support the work that shapes the company. You won't be handed busywork on the side; you'll be executing real tasks inside real workstreams, learning by doing rather than by observing.
The Founder's Office is the only function in the company with a simultaneous view of everything happening inside Compri: finance, operations, product, investors, and market strategy. As an intern, you will support activities across all five of these areas, working closely with the Founder's Associates who will guide you, review your work, and help you build the skills to take on more as you go.
This is a learning-intensive role built for someone early in their journey who wants exposure to strategy, finance, and operations all at once, not a comfortable, low-effort placement. You'll be expected to show up prepared, execute reliably, and ask good questions. In exchange, you'll get a front-row seat to company-building that most internships never offer.
The function that keeps the whole company pointed in the same direction.
OKR support: help prepare materials for company-level OKR sessions and support the Founder's Associates in tracking how individual objectives connect to company goals
Company metrics: help gather and organize the data behind company metrics, and flag gaps in what's currently being tracked
OKR process coordination: support the logistics of the OKR cycle (scheduling, documentation, follow-ups) alongside People & Culture and the Founder's Associates
Keeping investor relationships alive and the data room always ready.
Monthly investor updates: help gather inputs from across the company and support drafting sections of the update under guidance
Investor database: keep the database of prospective investors up to date, logging status and next steps as directed
Data room support: help keep the data room organized and current, and support the preparation of materials for fundraising decks
The analytical backbone of the Founder's Office.
Research and analysis support: support research work behind founder decisions (market sizing, competitive mapping, geography scans) by gathering and structuring data, with a Founder's Associate guiding interpretation
Financial operations support: help with basic invoicing, cash flow tracking, and budget vs. actual reporting tasks under the direction of a Founder's Associate
Grants and certifications support: help research relevant grants and certifications and prepare supporting documentation, with a Founder's Associate owning sign-off and submission
Getting exposure to how teams connect and where things get stuck.
Strategic events: support logistics, content prep, and materials for Compri's participation in events, coordinating with Marketing, People & Culture, and the Founder's Associates
Internal process support: help document recurring friction points across teams and support the Founder's Associates in following up on proposed fixes
Inter-team support: help track action items across teams and flag anything that looks stuck, so a Founder's Associate can step in early
You will report to the Founder's Associates (Junior and Senior) and work under their direct guidance day to day. In practice, this means:
Your primary feedback loop is with the Founder's Associates, who will assign your tasks, review your work, and help you build judgment over time
You will occasionally interact with founders and external advisors on specific, well-scoped pieces of work, always with a Founder's Associate involved
For cross-team tasks, you'll coordinate through the Founder's Associates rather than driving initiatives independently
You are part of a small, tight team. You're expected to communicate clearly, ask for help when you need it, and flag blockers early rather than sitting on them
No prior professional experience required. This role is built for someone who is freshly graduated or graduating and wants hands-on exposure to how a startup's founders actually operate, not for someone with a finished track record
Strong academic foundation with comfort around numbers: you can follow a spreadsheet or a slide and understand what a piece of analysis is trying to say
Clear written and verbal communication in English and Italian: you'll help draft materials that others will review before they go out
Organized and dependable: you can manage your own task list, meet deadlines, and let someone know early if something is at risk
Curious about how businesses work: procurement, market dynamics, and company-building interest you, even if you don't have direct experience in them yet
Preferred, but not required:
Intellectually honest. You say what you actually think, including when you disagree or when you don't know something. The Founder's Office is a place where real opinions matter.
Structured under ambiguity. You can work in a context where not everything is defined. You bring your own structure to open-ended problems rather than waiting for someone to hand you a template.
Ownership mentality. When you own a workstream, you own it: you track it, you flag risks, and you close the loop. You don't consider something done until it is actually done.
Growth-oriented. You are early in your career and you know it. You take feedback well, you apply it fast, and you are building judgment rather than just accumulating tasks.
High-intensity by default. This role moves fast and the bar is high. You don't need external pressure to perform at your best: you set your own standard and you hold yourself to it.
Comfortable being coached. You take feedback well and apply it quickly, rather than getting defensive about it. You'd rather be corrected early than be right slowly.
Monthly stipend: €750
Meal allowance: €10 per day meal voucher, whether working from the office or remotely
Flexible/hybrid arrangement for smart working
Growth path: we're looking for someone who wants to grow into a Junior Founder's Associate role and has the hunger to prove they're ready for it
A real view of how a startup is run, from day one. You'll get exposure to finance, investor relations, product, and operations that most internships never come close to
Real tasks, not busywork. What you work on will feed directly into decisions the founders and Founder's Associates make
Direct mentorship. You'll learn by working closely with people who've been at Satispay, Scalapay, BCG, Bain, Microsoft, and Apple
A concrete next step. Strong performance opens the door to a Junior Founder's Associate role
Start Monday with a short sync with your Founder's Associate: get your task list for the week and flag anything you're unsure about
Spend time mid-week executing a well-scoped deliverable: pulling together data for a market scan, drafting a first pass on part of the investor update, or organizing documentation for a grant application
Sit in on a cross-team touchpoint to see where friction is building between two functions, take notes, and share them with your Founder's Associate
End the week with a short update to your Founder's Associate: what got done, what's still open, and what you need help with next week
