Founder's Associate Intern

Founder’s Associate Intern
Swobbee is building a network of battery charging and swapping stations in NYC, allowing users to conveniently swap their e-bike batteries at a station, rather than charge at home. This eliminates range anxiety and ensures safe charging practices.

Originally headquartered in Berlin, Germany, we are expanding to the US and are seeking a motivated individual to support our founder in building our US footprint. As a Founder’s Associate Intern, you’ll work directly with the founder and gain hands-on experience in various aspects of an early-stage business, including product development, business development, strategy, and operations.

• Assist the founder in managing day-to-day tasks, including research, analysis, and project coordination.
• Support product development efforts, such as testing new products, gathering user feedback, refining processes, and communicating findings to the tech team.
• Contribute to business development initiatives, including market research, partnership outreach, and pitch preparation.
• Help streamline and document operational processes to enhance efficiency and scalability.
• Manage ad hoc projects that arise in the fast-paced startup environment.

About You:

• You are structured, organized, and detail-oriented, capable of juggling multiple tasks and priorities.
• You are a self-starter with a proactive attitude, comfortable working independently and taking initiative.
• You are driven and motivated to contribute meaningfully to a growing startup.
• You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to work effectively with diverse stakeholders.
• You have a genuine interest in sustainable mobility, technology, or startups, and are excited to immerse yourself in the challenges and opportunities of an early-stage business.
