Founder's Associate

About the role
We're looking for a Founder's Associate to work directly with the founding team. You'll start by taking small, high-impact tasks off the founding team's plate, but the goal is for you to graduate fast into owning projects - and eventually a whole function - across operations, finance, growth, marketing, sales, and support.

A business generalist who does the small things well and grows into running parts of the company. The strongest person in this role moves toward owning a whole function or becoming Chief of Staff.

What your day looks like
You get a list of priorities, clarify missing context fast, execute, and send short status updates. Lots of coordination, follow-up, and closing loops. Minimal theory. As you earn trust, more of your week shifts from execution to ownership.

What you'll own

Early on:

• Take day-to-day tasks off the founding team's plate and drive them start to finish
• Own follow-ups across threads: reminders, nudges, deadlines, clear ownership
• Delegate simple tasks to teammates and make sure they come back with outcomes
• Quick research: tool comparisons, vendor outreach, quotes, contact lists, simple analyses
• Keep Notion, Google Drive, and Slack organized; write short summaries
• Coordinate hiring, onboarding, docs, checklists, SOPs
• Calendars, agendas, notes - whatever unblocks the founding team

As you earn scope:

• Own end-to-end projects across any business function
• Build the systems and processes the company is missing
• Step in as interim owner of a function until it's stood up or hired for
• Run analyses that inform decisions

Who you are

• Extremely organized, fast, and detail-oriented
• Strong, direct writer; comfortable pushing follow-ups and chasing outcomes
• Operate well with incomplete information and ask the right questions quickly
• Generalist instincts - you can pick up a finance task one day and a growth experiment the next
• Bias to action; you enjoy checklists and closing loops
• Comfortable in startup chaos, not discouraged by it
• English C1 (B2 minimum)

What matters most

• Ownership, even on simple tasks
• Speed and on-time delivery
• Crisp communication and short status updates
• When something is blocked, you flag it early and bring options - no "reasons why"

What we offer

• Work directly with the founding team and learn fast
• Direct impact on how the company operates day to day
• High-trust, high-responsibility environment
• Competitive compensation
• A clear path to Ops, a function-owner role, or Chief of Staff
