The Position
Hive is scaling to become Europe’s default operating system for commerce, and our Growth engine is at the heart of that ambition.
We’re looking for an exceptional Founder Associate / Strategy Associate to our Chief Growth Officer to sit at the nerve center of
that engine for 6 months, own problems that would normally land on a McKinsey Engagement Manager’s desk, and actually ship the
answers.
This is a zero-to-one internship. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our CGO on the highest-leverage questions Hive is facing:
market entries, pricing architecture, GTM motion redesigns, and the board-level narratives behind them. You won’t fetch coffee.
You’ll build the models, drive the analyses, and present the recommendations that shape where Hive goes next.
If you’re the person who excelled at a top program, cracked the McKinsey case-prep circuit, and now wants 4-6 months of real
operator exposure before you take the BCG/McKinsey/Bain offer, or before you start the venture you’ve already been sketching out,
this role was built for you.
Your Mission
You’ll be the CGO’s force multiplier. Every week, you’ll turn an ambiguous, high-stakes strategic question into a crisp,
defensible answer, and then help make it happen.
