Founder’s Associate Intern (Strategic Operations)

Who We Are

Galene.AI S.R.L. is an Italian company, a spin-off of S2E Solutions2Enterprises, that develops proprietary generative artificial intelligence technologies with the goal of guiding organizations through a safe, responsible, and ethical adoption of AI. Our platforms and solutions are designed to meet the needs of companies of all sizes, with particular attention to the most critical and regulated contexts.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for a high-potential Founder’s Associate Intern to work directly with our CEO.

This is a unique role designed for a "Force Multiplier”, someone who can streamline the CEO’s daily operations while taking ownership of strategic projects that drive the company forward.

This is not a traditional administrative internship. You will have a front-row seat to the decision-making process of a fast growing company. You will start by mastering executive organization and, as you prove your reliability, you will transition into managing high-level partnerships, business operations, and special strategic initiatives.

Your Responsibilities

Executive Foundation & Operational Excellence:

• Strategic Coordination: Optimize the CEO’s workflow, managing a high-stakes calendar and ensuring that time is allocated to the company’s top priorities.
• Communication Bridge: Act as a professional point of contact between the CEO and internal/external stakeholders (partners, investors, clients).
• Executive Briefing: Conduct research and prepare briefing materials, memos, and agendas to ensure the CEO is fully prepared for every interaction.

Strategic Growth & Partnerships

• Relationship Management: Assist in cultivating and nurturing relationships with key strategic partners. Manage follow-ups and ensure no opportunity is lost.
• Special Projects: Take the lead on "home-less" projects, such as market research, competitor analysis, or the implementation of new internal processes.
• Business Operations: Track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and help monitor the execution of the company's strategic goals.

The Growth Path

We view this internship as a trial for a long-term career. Your evolution will follow a clear trajectory:

1. Month 1-3: Focus on operational rigor, executive support, and learning the business DNA.
2. Month 4-6: Taking ownership of specific projects and beginning to manage external relationships independently.
3. Beyond: Successful interns will have the opportunity to transition into a permanent role as a Strategic Partnerships Manager , or Business Operations Manager .

Who You Are

• High Agency: You are a natural problem-solver. When faced with a challenge, you find a way to get it done without needing a manual.
• Execution-Oriented: You have a bias for action. You understand that a "good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan next week".
• Meticulous Organizer: You live for structure. You have a "hawk-eye" for detail and nothing falls through the cracks.
• Communication Pro: You have exceptional verbal and written skills in both English and Italian . You can draft a compelling, professional email to a high-level stakeholder with ease.
• Discreet & Loyal: You will handle sensitive information;
  absolute integrity and confidentiality are your baseline.
• Background: Currently enrolled in or a recent graduate of a Business, Management, Communications, or similar degree.

What We Offer

• Unrivaled Mentorship: Direct daily interaction and mentorship from the CEO.
• Real-World MBA: A fast-track education in how to build, manage, and scale a fast growing company.
• High-Level Network: Exposure to industry leaders, partners, and investors.
• Impact: The chance to see your work directly influence the trajectory of the company.
• Paid internship opportunity with a monthly reimbursement ranging from €800 to €1000, plus concrete growth potential within the company.
• The role requires availability for frequent travel , including occasional weekends, within a fast-paced and dynamic environment. Flexibility and adaptability are essential.
