Founder's Associate Intern

Titles don't matter here. Experience does.

therapie1 is building the modern physiotherapy chain in Germany. We connect top-tier therapists with patients who are tired of waiting weeks for an appointment, and we're scaling fast.

This isn't a coffee-and-spreadsheets internship. You'll work directly with Tobi, our CEO and founder, on the things that actually move the company forward: opening new locations, building the team, and making sure operations don't fall apart while we grow.

No filter. No hierarchy. Real work from day one.
