What are the responsibilities and job description for the Executive Intern to the CEO position at Cyvl?
About Us:
We’re one of the fastest-growing startups in Boston, building hardware AI-powered software solutions that help cities accelerate the speed and quality at which roads and sidewalks are maintained. We already work with 300 customers across the U.S. and Australia—including the cities of Boston, Cambridge, and Atlanta—and we’re currently running major pilots with NYC and Philadelphia. Our mission is bold, and our momentum is real: we’re planning a major Series A fundraise later this year and scaling fast.
The Role:
This is not a coffee-fetching internship. You’ll act as the CEO’s right hand—sitting in the center of the action, learning how a real company scales, and making high-impact contributions every day. You’ll interface directly with C-suite leaders, investors, board members, and customers, helping the CEO stay focused, organized, and several steps ahead.
This is a fast-track opportunity to Chief of Staff or founding operator roles down the line. If you want to start your own company someday, this is your proving ground.
Competitive pay with expectation of >40 hrs/week, including occasional weekends
