Founder’s Associate
Pubblicato il 10-10-2026 - Aquisis in Toscana
Aquisis is an independent strategy advisory boutique with two core pillars of client service: Commercial advice for investors, and strategy advice for owners of SMEs, family businesses, and start-ups preparing to raise capital. Both are built on merging the investor mindset with the commercial toolkit of a management consultant, and on tailor-made analysis developed on carefully sourced and verified data. The underlying core principle is that of identifying sources of value and showing ways to generate value.
Aquisis provides the opportunity for exceptional talents to join as a Founder’s Associate, supporting:
- Aquisis’ day-to-day consulting business. These tasks will depend on the individual’s talents and may be more administrative. This may for example include working on client presentations, or reports, conducting research, or working within existing Excel models
- with prospecting and contacting potential new clients, principally in Italy and Germany
- the maintenance of relationships with existing partners and creation of new partnerships
- the coordination and execution of Aquisis’ on- and offline marketing activities
- the creation of thought-leadership content – our Research Pulse reports and Insight Nuggets – seeing each piece through from ideation to publishing

The successful applicant will work directly with the Partner on projects in Italy and Europe, but is also expected to get their “hands dirty” in scaling up the Italian business.
