Founders Associate

About Urban Ground

Urban Ground is building AI products for residential rentals in Germany and Europe. We started by operating rental portfolios ourselves and are now turning that operational depth into software and AI workflows for the market.

Our first product helps landlords and operators handle tenant inquiries, qualify applicants, and streamline leasing operations. Over time, we are building toward a broader execution layer for rental operations.

We are looking for a highly driven Founder’s Office Intern to work directly with the founder across GTM, operations, partnerships, hiring, and special projects.

About the role

This is not a passive assistant role.

You will work directly with the founder to push high-priority projects forward, keep follow-ups moving, coordinate across teams, and make sure things actually get done.

This is a strong fit for someone who is structured, fast, commercially sharp, and excited by early-stage execution.

What you will do

* Drive follow-ups across sales, partnerships, hiring, and internal projects

* Maintain CRM hygiene and keep pipelines updated

* Prepare meeting briefs, research notes, and action trackers

* Coordinate next steps after founder, customer, and investor calls

* Support outbound GTM work across landlords, brokers, property managers, and operators

* Help with partnership research and market mapping

* Support hiring coordination, candidate sourcing, and interview scheduling

* Work on special projects across product, growth, operations, and customer success

* Bring structure to messy workflows and push owners until tasks are closed

What we are looking for

* Highly organized and detail-oriented

* Strong written and verbal English

* Comfortable working in ambiguity and moving fast

* Strong ownership mindset and follow-through

* Commercially minded and execution-focused

* Confident with spreadsheets, presentations, and AI tools

* Able to manage multiple workstreams without dropping the ball

Strong plus

* German language skills

* Prior startup, consulting, business development, operations, or founder’s office experience

* Experience with CRM tools, Notion, Airtable, or project management tools

* Comfort with research, data cleanup, and structured follow-up work

What success looks like

* Founder action items are tracked and closed on time

* Pipelines are always up to date

* Meetings are prepared properly

* Follow-ups do not slip

* Projects move faster because you are involved

* You free up meaningful founder bandwidth every week

Why join

* Work directly with the founder

* Get broad exposure across GTM, operations, partnerships, hiring, and product

* Learn how an early-stage company is actually built

* Take on real responsibility from day one

* Build a strong foundation for startup, business, or chief of staff-style roles later

How to apply

Please apply with:

* your CV

* a short note on why this role fits you

* one example of a project, internship, or situation where you had to independently drive execution and follow-ups
