MBA Associate - Founder's Office

ZenTrades • San Francisco, CA

62d • Onsite

About The Position

Clara AI (justclara.ai) is looking for an exceptional MBA intern to work directly with our AI-native founder and repeat SaaS builder out of our San Francisco HQ. This isn’t your average internship — it’s a hands-on opportunity to shape fundraising strategy, build live investor materials, and drive key cross-functional projects that define how we grow. You’ll be in the room where big decisions are made, learning the inside game of how an early-stage AI startup operates, scales, and raises capital.

Requirements

• Current MBA student (Harvard, Berkeley, Wharton, and similar programs encouraged)
• A fast learner who thrives in dynamic, unstructured environments
• Organized, proactive, and eager to make a tangible impact from day one

Nice To Haves

• Have some VC, startup, or consulting experience (a plus, not a requirement)

Responsibilities

• Co-own fundraising efforts: help shape strategy, build pitch decks, and prepare materials for live investor meetings
• Collaborate directly with the founder across business ops, product, partnerships, and GTM experiments
• Turn insight into action: join high-stakes meetings, synthesize takeaways, and help execute next steps
• Drive special projects across multiple functions — no two weeks will look the same
• Get front-row exposure to the pace, process, and mindset of an early-stage AI startup

Benefits

• Direct mentorship from an AI-native founder — real learning by doing, not shadowing
• Firsthand experience in fundraising, investor storytelling, and startup growth
• Cross-functional exposure to product, ops, and GTM strategy
• Full relocation support and housing in San Francisco HQ
• Career acceleration: standout interns may advance to expanded roles (including Chief of Staff)
