Internship - Operations / Admin

Company Overview:
Dialectic, a crypto-native organization of builders and capital advisors, is seeking an AI-native Operations & Admin Intern to join the team on a full-time basis in Zug. This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic and fast-growing team focused on investing in and building compelling software in emerging crypto and blockchain technologies.

Dialectic acts as an advisor to multiple liquid crypto funds specializing in DeFi yield strategies, as well as venture activity focused on crypto/blockchain technologies. Additionally, Dialectic stewards 1OF1, a prominent digital art collection.

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.

Benefits:
Dialectic offers an exceptional work culture:

• Dynamic and collegiality in a small team working in fields that are shaping the future of our society.

• As a modern employer, we offer you contemporary working conditions, a lot of space to develop yourself alongside the company, and exciting and challenging projects.

• Compelling compensation, bonus, and participation opportunities.

• Exposure to extremely talented people and very interesting clients who have unique investment profiles.

• Supportive work and team atmosphere with flat hierarchies and a strong entrepreneurial spirit.

• Direct exposure to the founder and senior leadership across investment, operations, and engineering.

• Dialectic is an equal-opportunity employer with a strong diversity of ideas.
