Intern to the CEO (AI native)

Mission

You will work directly with Veronika Wax, our founder and CEO, as her right hand across everything it takes to run an AI company: strategy, fundraising, product, hiring, and the operational work that keeps a fast-moving startup on track.

This is the closest thing to a founder apprenticeship you can get without starting a company yourself. You will sit in leadership meetings, prepare board and investor materials, own strategic projects end to end, and see how every function of a B2B software company fits together. No coffee runs. If a task can be automated with AI, we automate it, which means what is left for you is the work that actually requires judgment.

The best version of this internship ends with you either joining us full-time in a role you helped define, or leaving with the operating system to build your own company.

Goals

• Own strategic projects end to end: market analyses, competitive research, pricing experiments, expansion plans
• Prepare board meetings, investor updates, and fundraising materials
• Build decision-ready briefings: gather the data, pressure-test the options, recommend a path
• Automate internal processes with AI agents (built on our own platform) so the leadership team moves faster
• Join customer and partner conversations alongside the CEO and turn them into follow-through
• Track execution across teams: make sure decisions made on Monday are shipped by Friday

About Us

Demodesk is the AI that does the job, not the AI that tells you what to do. For ten years, sales AI has handed dashboards to overwhelmed reps and called it transformation. We built something different: AI agents that join every sales conversation, update the CRM, send the follow-ups, coach reps after every call, and flag deals at risk before they slip.

Founded in Munich in 2018 and backed by $15M from Balderton, Y Combinator, and the founders of HubSpot and Pipedrive, we serve 300+ customers and 20,000+ sales professionals across Europe, including Porsche, Bosch, Treatwell, OMR, and Enpal. GDPR-native, ISO 27001 certified, EU-only data. We are still small enough that everyone's fingerprints are on the product.
