Company Overview

Job Summary

We are looking for a highly organized, AI-native self-starter to support operations and administrative functions across the organization - including direct support to our founder. The ideal intern candidate is fluent in modern AI tools (LLMs, agents, copilots) and uses them as a default part of every workflow: from inbox triage and research to drafting documents to consolidating data and automating recurring processes. You’ll touch a bit of everything, which requires a “no job too big or too small” attitude. This role is ideal for someone curious about crypto, finance, and operations who wants to learn the ins and outs of a multi-strategy investment firm while building real AI-driven workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide administrative support to the founder and the broader Dialectic team as requested, with a high standard of confidentiality and professionalism.
• Manage calendar coordination and scheduling across multiple time zones — meetings, conference calls, and video conferences.
• Arrange international travel, including flights, accommodations, and visas, and create detailed itineraries.
• Handle inbox management, draft correspondence, and triage incoming and outgoing communications using AI tooling.
• Conduct research on a wide range of topics and prepare reports, briefs, and presentations — leveraging LLMs and agents to accelerate and deepen the work.
• Consolidate financial, operational, and (where requested) personal/health data into spreadsheets and dashboards for analysis and visualization.
• Coordinate with team members on meetings, travel, event planning, and other activities; ensure travel and expense reports are completed accurately and on time.
• Run general office duties such as local errands, grocery orders, and document scanning around Zurich/Zug as needed.
• Continuously identify opportunities to use AI/LLM tools to streamline workflows, automate repeatable tasks, and increase the productivity of the founder and team.
  
  

Key Requirements

• AI-native: deep, daily fluency with modern AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, agents, copilots, automation tools) as a default part of how you research, write, organize, and execute work.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and methodical, with the ability to juggle multiple workstreams and prioritize effectively.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with fluency in English; German language proficiency is a plus.
• Strong spreadsheet skills and comfort working with structured data; ability to consolidate and visualize information clearly.
• Comfortable with Google Suite, Slack, Notion, and modern scheduling tools (e.g., Vimcal); quick to learn and adopt new tools.
• Self-starter mindset — able to work independently and take projects from ambiguous brief to completed output.
• Discretion and the ability to handle sensitive personal, financial, and business information with the utmost confidentiality.
• Roll-up-your-sleeves startup attitude — “no job too big or too small.”
• Willingness to be primarily co-located in Zug.
• Currently pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor’s degree (any discipline); quantitative or business backgrounds are a plus but not required.
  
  

Nice-to-haves

• Some prior experience supporting a C-suite executive, founder, or similarly high-tempo principal.
• Interest in quantified self, bio-tracking, and consolidating both health and financial data for analysis and visualization.
• Experience building or maintaining CRMs, knowledge bases, or internal documentation systems.
• Genuine interest in cryptocurrency, DeFi, and the broader investment/venture landscape.
