Founder's Associate
Location: London (in-person)
Reports to: CEO & COO
Role Summary
The Founder's Associate is the CEO and COO's right hand — a high-ownership generalist who takes on the company's most important problems, whatever they happen to be at the time. The mandate is deliberately broad and will evolve as the business does: today it might be getting a customer live; next quarter it might be standing up financial reporting, shaping go-to-market, or supporting a fundraise.
This role is for someone with strong analytical training and high technical literacy who can reason through complex problems, impose structure on ambiguity, and execute with precision — and who wants to learn the entire business by owning real pieces of it, not by observing from the side.
You'll be expected to understand how the company actually works — its product, its customers, its systems, and its numbers — deeply enough to find what's broken and fix it.
Where You'll Start — and Where It Goes
You'll start by owning the customer. Our most immediate need is making customers successful after they sign — onboarding them onto the platform, getting them to value quickly, keeping them healthy, and growing the relationship. This is where you'll have the fastest, clearest impact, and it's how you'll learn the product and the business from the inside.
From there, the role expands. As you build trust and context, you'll move across the things that matter most to the company — go-to-market strategy, financial and operational reporting, fundraising support, vendor and tooling decisions, structural and legal projects. Over time this is a path into a leadership role in operations, customer, or whatever you prove yourself best at.
