About the role
About Firstwork
Labour markets are broken. Millions of people are ready to work and can't start. Screening, right-to-work checks, contracts, onboarding and scheduling still run across disconnected systems, with hundreds of manual decisions in between. Firstwork builds AI agents that run frontline workforce operations end to end. We activate hundreds of thousands of workers a month globally for some of the world's largest employers and staffing firms, working forward-deployed inside the customer's operation. Backed by Y Combinator and Gradient (Google’s AI fund), with offices in New York, with London and Dubai opening later this year.
Why this role
A significant part of Firstwork’s growth over the next few years will be determined by how successfully we build the business in Europe. Which markets we enter and in what order, how we price against the incumbents, which partnerships and investors are worth the time, and how the company runs once it is spread across two continents. Those decisions sit with the CEO, and this role sits next to him and the Chief of Staff.
You work in the Office of the CEO alongside the Chief of Staff, and you own the European half of the agenda. That covers the market entry plan and the work of actually executing it, board and investor material, the relationships with private equity firms and their portfolio companies that drive our largest deals, and the strategic projects that have no owner yet. One week that looks like a pricing model. The next it looks like being in a major city getting an entity live and a first customer signed.
You will learn how a company really works, quickly, and then get handed a piece of it to run.
