Founder's Office Associate Intern

About the Role

Filter You is seeking a Founder’s Office Associate — a curious, driven, and resourceful individual who loves solving problems, making things happen, and figuring out how to take a business to the next level. This role requires someone who can move seamlessly between strategy and execution, from brainstorming big ideas to rolling up their sleeves and making them happen. You will act as the founder’s right hand, a cross-functional problem solver, an idea champion, and a hustler unafraid to take ownership, challenge the obvious, or dive into something new.

• Cross-Functional Hustle: Work across strategy, marketing, creative, sales, and operations. Connect dots, bring people together, and ensure projects move forward.
• Ideas to Execution: Take ownership of projects from start to finish, including launching initiatives, experimenting with new ideas, or solving operational challenges.
• Operations & Process Improvement: Identify gaps, simplify workflows, improve internal processes, and help build systems for efficiency.
• Research & Insights: Stay informed about the startup ecosystem, emerging technologies, AR/VR, the creator economy, marketing trends, and competitor activity. Bring relevant insights to the team.
• Numbers & Business Thinking: Help track business performance, monitor key metrics, analyze data, and provide recommendations for better decision-making.
