Internship – Business & Strategy Support (Executive Assistant Role)
Startup based in Milan (Duomo) — Product Development & Consultancy
About Us
We are a Milan-based startup developing our own product while also running consultancy projects on the side. We are looking for an intern to support both the strategic and day-to-day operational side of the business — a great opportunity for a recent graduate to get hands-on exposure to how an early-stage company really works.
About the Role
We are offering a 6-month internship, full-time or part-time depending on availability, working closely with the founders. You will move between strategic tasks (business model, investor outreach) and practical day-to-day support — a varied, hands-on role rather than a narrow one.
What You'll Do:
Support business model development: research, structuring ideas, light financial modeling, competitive analysis
Help with outreach to potential investors (research, first contact, scheduling, follow-up materials)
Coordinate communication with potential user testers (scheduling, gathering feedback, organizing notes)
Keep track of day-to-day operational tasks — deadlines, to-dos, follow-ups across the team
General executive assistant duties: calendar management, meeting prep, document organization, correspondence
Occasionally support consultancy-side projects with research or coordination
What We're Looking For:
Degree in business, finance, economics, management, or a related field (recent graduates welcome)
Strong written and spoken communication skills, fluent in Italian and English
Comfortable with numbers and basic financial concepts
Organized, proactive, able to manage multiple small workstreams independently
Genuine interest in startups and early-stage company operations
Prior internship experience in a startup, consulting, or finance environment is a plus, not required
