The Big Picture

Founders rarely have the luxury of focusing on just one thing.

At Illumine-i, our founder works across strategy, sales, delivery, product, engineering services, software, hardware sourcing, and new business initiatives. As a Founder’s Intern - Special Projects, you’ll work closely with him on the research, coordination, follow-ups, and problem-solving that keep these different threads moving.

No two weeks will look exactly the same. You could be researching a new market one day, preparing for an important conversation the next, and helping track a project that needs to move forward the day after.

The role is designed to give you both breadth and ownership - while you’ll support a range of priorities, you’ll also take ownership of 1–2 specific areas where you can build deeper expertise over time.

What you can expect as a Founder’s Intern at Illumine-i:

  • Research & Insights: Conduct research on competitors, vendors, markets, technologies, and other topics based on the priorities of the week
  • Meeting Support: Help prepare context and information before important meetings and track action items and follow-ups afterward
  • Project Coordination: Keep track of open tasks, timelines, follow-ups, and dependencies across different initiatives
  • Content & Documentation: Create first drafts of summaries, one-pagers, outreach material, presentations, and other documents for review and refinement
  • Founder Support: Assist with day-to-day coordination, follow-ups, and other high-priority tasks that help move projects forward
  • Owned Projects: Take ownership of 1–2 assigned areas, building deeper knowledge and becoming the go-to person for those specific threads
  • Problem Solving: Step into whatever is blocking progress and help find information, coordinate people, or move the task towards completion

Essential Qualifications include:

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in any relevant discipline
  • Strong research, analytical, and problem-solving abilities
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities
  • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership without constant supervision
  • Ability to quickly understand new topics and switch between different types of work
  • Curiosity about startups, businesses, technology, and how companies are built

Great to have:

  • Prior experience in internships involving research, strategy, business development, operations, or special projects
  • Comfort working with spreadsheets, presentations, and productivity tools
  • Interest in startups, entrepreneurship, technology, or emerging businesses
  • Ability to understand technical or engineering-related information and simplify it when needed
  • Strong interpersonal skills and a bias towards getting things done

This internship is an opportunity to work close to the action and understand how different parts of a growing business come together. If you enjoy figuring things out, asking good questions, taking ownership, and learning across functions rather than staying inside one box, this role could be a great fit.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
