Announcing research preview of Alexandria's pharmaceutical reasoning agents benchmark
STUDENT POSITION PART-TIME Munich, Germany

Join Alexandria

We're building the intelligence infrastructure for drug commercialization. AI agents for market access, regulatory, and go-to-market operations.

About Alexandria

We don't do drug discovery. We do drug commercialization.

While existing AI labs like Isomorphic Labs and AlphaFold focus on target identification and molecular design, we're building AI agents for the 70% of drug value that happens after the molecule is designed.

Our platform provides semantic search and AI reasoning across clinical trials, regulatory intelligence, market access data, and patent landscapes — enabling pharma teams to make faster, better-informed decisions.

Think of us as Exa.ai for Big Pharma — the neural search API for pharma commercialization with semantic understanding of drug development, market access, and regulatory intelligence.

OPEN POSITION

Founders Associate — Technical Sales

Overview

We're looking for a Founders Associate (Working Student) to support technical sales of our semantic search platform to mid-tier pharmaceutical companies. This is a part-time role (15-20 hours/week) ideal for students currently studying in Munich who want hands-on startup experience.

You'll work directly with the founding team, bridging our AI/ML engineering capabilities and pharma executives — helping translate complex technical features into business value for clinical operations, regulatory affairs, and commercial teams.

Work arrangement: 70% on-site at our TUM AI Building office, 30% remote — giving you flexibility to balance your studies while gaining real startup experience.

What You'll Do

  • Support the sales cycle — help with lead research, outreach, and preparation for meetings with mid-tier pharma companies ($1B-$50B market cap)
  • Prepare technical demos of our clinical trials semantic search, learning how AI agents accelerate regulatory intelligence and market access workflows
  • Research prospects — identify and analyze potential customers in clinical development, regulatory affairs, and commercial strategy
  • Develop use cases around ClinicalTrials.gov data, EU Clinical Trials Register, patent landscapes, and HTA submission intelligence
  • Join customer calls — shadow founders on sales calls and learn enterprise sales firsthand (occasional travel opportunities to pharma hubs)

What We're Looking For

  • 1
    Currently enrolled student in Munich — studying Computer Science, Data Science, Informatics, Management & Technology, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, or related fields at TUM, LMU, or other Munich universities
  • 2
    Technical curiosity — you're excited to learn about vector databases, embeddings, RAG architectures, and LLM capabilities (prior experience is a plus, but not required)
  • 3
    Interest in life sciences/pharma — coursework, internships, or personal interest in healthcare, biotechnology, or pharmaceutical industry
  • 4
    Strong communication skills — you're comfortable speaking with professionals and can articulate complex ideas clearly in English (German is a plus)
  • 5
    Startup mentality — you thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and want to make a real impact rather than just observe

Why Join Alexandria

Real startup experience, not coffee runs. You'll work directly with founders on actual business problems — not busy work. Perfect for students who want to see how early-stage companies operate.

Flexible around your studies. We understand exam periods and lecture schedules. The 70/30 hybrid model and flexible hours let you balance academics with work.

Learn cutting-edge AI + pharma. Work alongside ML engineers from TUM, RWTH Aachen, and MIT. Gain deep knowledge of both AI technology and the pharmaceutical industry.

Equity participation. As a Founders Associate, you'll receive equity in the company — a rare opportunity for a student position.

Career launchpad. Whether you want to join a startup full-time after graduation, go into consulting, or pursue further studies — this experience will set you apart.
