Executive Assistant & Founder’s Right Hand (Amsterdam-Based)

Salary Unpaid

Executive Assistant & Founder’s Right Hand (Amsterdam-Based)

FlavorScale is seeking a Founder’s Assistant Intern to be the calm inside the storm. This isn't a "data entry" internship; it’s a high-access, high-velocity role for the person who wants to see exactly how a startup scales from the inside out. You’ll be sitting in on investor pitches, joining partner meetings at Amsterdam’s hottest restaurant terraces, and helping the CEO navigate the chaos of our 2026 Q3 funding round.

Most internships give you a "seat at the table", we’re giving you the keys to the room. If you are the person who stays organized while everyone else is scrambling, this is your Masterclass in entrepreneurship.


Who You Are

  • Background: Currently studying Business, Law, Communications, or a related field (Bachelor or Master level).

  • The Curator: You have impeccable taste and "Content Intuition." You know which Amsterdam spots are trending before they hit TikTok.

  • Master of Chaos: You’re the "planner" of your friend group. You’re obsessed with details—from a perfectly formatted email to a seamless meeting schedule.

  • High Agency: You don't ask "what's next?" You see a full inbox or a scheduling conflict and you fix it before the CEO even knows it was a problem.

  • Vibe: You are poised, professional, and tech-savvy. You can pivot from a casual restaurant walkthrough to a high-stakes investor sync without breaking a sweat.


Your Daily Mission

  • The Founder’s Shadow: Accompany the CEO to partner meetings, restaurant onboardings, and industry events across Amsterdam.

  • Strategic Inbox & Comms: Filter the noise. You’ll pick up forwarded emails, manage partner inquiries, and ensure the "FlavorScale Voice" is consistent.

  • Fundraising Engine: Assist in managing the investor pipeline and keeping the "Master Deck" updated as we head toward our 2026 investment cycles.

  • The Talent Pipeline: Help manage the interview flow for new interns and partners, acting as the first point of contact for the FlavorScale team.

  • Urban Command: Manage the CEO’s calendar and logistics to ensure every day in the city is optimized for maximum impact.


The Opportunity

This is a work-based internship that offers a premier talent pipeline. While we cannot promise specific permanent positions, as our key hires depend on 2026/2027 board decisions, this role puts you at the very center of the company’s evolution. You will leave this internship with a network of founders, investors, and industry leaders that most people spend a decade trying to build.


Specific Requirements

  • Location: You must be based in or very close to Amsterdam.

  • Language: Fluent in English (Essential). Dutch is a massive plus for navigating local partner relations.

  • Status: This must be a formal internship as part of your degree.

  • Tech Stack: Proficient in Google Workspace, Slack, and ideally basic Canva/Notion.

  • Discretion: You will be privy to "inner circle" strategy—trust and loyalty are our #1 requirements.

FlavorScale

FlavorScale is a next-generation foodtech startup focused on revolutionizing how Gen Z discovers and connects with eateries. We solve the problem of fragmented, outdated, and inauthentic food discovery experiences that leave young food lovers scrolling endlessly yet never quite finding places that truly match their tastes and vibes. Current platforms often prioritize ads, generic ratings, or logistics rather than capturing the authentic culinary experience and community connection young users crave. FlavorScale’s platform is video-first and AI-powered, delivering engaging, personalized, and authentic food recommendations by harnessing behavioral data and smart algorithms. We bridge the gap between foodies and restaurants, empowering users to explore and share real experiences, and helping eateries reach the right audience with data-driven insights. Our live MVP has proven product-market fit, with strong success in Copenhagen, and we’re now preparing to scale through a larger pilot in a major Northwestern European city. By focusing exclusively on food discovery for Gen Z and combining community, AI, and real-time data, FlavorScale is poised to transform food discovery from a fragmented chore into an engaging, authentic, and efficient experience that benefits both consumers and the food industry. FlavorScale is building the definitive food discovery platform for Gen Z, video-first, AI-powered, and community-driven. Our MVP is live on Firebase, pre-pilot nailed strong traction in Copenhagen (our biggest win), and we're now scaling for a major Northwestern Europe launch with data insights that restaurants and brands crave. Why FlavorScale? Real momentum: Proven product-market fit from live MVP and pilots. Next: bigger city rollout, 2026 Q2 funding round, AI personalization at scale. Founding-level impact: Join a young, driven team as we build the core stack (Firebase, ML recs, event pipelines) with equity and ownership from day one. Foodtech at its best: Blend cutting-edge tech (React Native, Google Cloud, recommendation engines) with real-world testing in top food cities like Copenhagen, London, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. High-agency culture: Ship weekly, collaborate daily, iterate from user data. In-person team time in Denmark/Netherlands (relocation supported).
