Founder's Office Intern

About the Role

Qonfido is building an AI companion for money, helping people organize, understand, and grow their wealth with clarity and confidence. As a Founder's Office Intern, you will sit at the center of the company: close to strategy, product, data, and day-to-day execution. This is not a shadowing internship. You will own real workstreams, present recommendations to founders, and help turn ambiguity into decisions and decisions into shipped outcomes. You will move across strategy setting, data analysis, product management support, AI optimization, and operational follow-through, learning how a modern fintech startup actually runs.

Key Responsibilities

Strategy & Problem Framing

• Help founders frame weekly and monthly priorities: what matters, why now, and what success looks like.
• Turn open-ended questions into crisp problem statements, options, and recommendation memos.
• Support competitive, market, and customer research that informs product and growth bets.
• Track strategic initiatives from idea → decision → owner → next milestone.

Data Analysis & Insights

• Pull, clean, and analyze product, growth, and operational data to answer founder questions quickly.
• Build lightweight dashboards, scorecards, and recurring insight notes (what changed, why it matters, what to do).
• Validate hypotheses with evidence and flag risks, anomalies, and opportunities early.
• Translate analysis into clear visuals and one-page briefs founders can act on.

Product Management Support

• Support discovery: user interviews, feedback synthesis, journey mapping, and opportunity sizing.
• Help write PRDs, specs, acceptance criteria, and release checklists for priority initiatives.
• Coordinate across design, engineering, and go-to-market to keep scope, timelines, and dependencies visible.
• Run QA / dogfooding passes, document bugs/edge cases, and close the loop after launches.

AI Optimization & Workflow Design

• Identify repetitive Founder Office and team workflows that AI can compress or improve.
• Design and document prompts, agents, and SOPs for research, writing, analysis, QA, and reporting.
• Experiment with tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, Notion AI, spreadsheet copilots) and measure time saved / quality lift.
• Help the team adopt better AI habits: templates, evaluation checklists, and versioned workflows.

Operational Support

• Own follow-ups, meeting notes, action trackers, and decision logs.
• Coordinate cross-functional projects: timelines, owners, blockers, and weekly status updates.
• Support special projects spanning hiring ops, partner outreach, content briefs, or launch readiness as needed.
• Create durable systems (docs, trackers, checklists) that make the company faster.

Qualifications

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Final-year undergraduate/postgraduate student or recent graduate (any rigorous major; preference for business, economics, CS, design, or quantitative fields).
• Strong analytical and written communication skills.
• Comfortable with spreadsheets and basic data analysis; SQL / Python / BI tools are a plus.
• Hands-on with modern AI tools and eager to invent better ways of working.
• Structured operator: you track details, close loops, and hate dropped balls.
• High ownership and bias to action in ambiguous environments.
• Available full-time (or near full-time) for 3–6 months; based anywhere in India (IST or a similar timezone).

Bonus Points

• Prior internship in startups, consulting, product, analytics, or strategy.
• Personal projects, campus clubs, or research where you owned outcomes.
• Experience writing specs, running user interviews, or shipping a small product/feature.
• Fintech, consumer apps, or personal-finance curiosity.
• Design fluency (Figma/Canva) or light engineering fluency.
