Description
A Founder's Associate sits between an EA and a Chief of Staff. You're not a specialist. You're a generalist who moves fast, picks up context quickly, and applies good judgment across whatever the founder needs most right now. You'll work directly with a founder or senior executive at a fast-growing company in the US or Europe. One week you're building a research brief. The next you're managing a GTM launch, coordinating a hiring process, or pressure-testing a decision before they walk into a board meeting. No two weeks are the same. We train you on the tools and workflows that run world-class companies, then place you with a high-performance operator who needs a right hand they can trust. This is a launchpad. Founder's Associates at top startups go on to become Chiefs of Staff, department heads, and operators in their own right. You won't be a task executor here. You'll be in the room where decisions get made. What you'll own • Track and close open loops across the executive's full workload • Research, analysis, and structured recommendations across any function • Meeting prep, decision briefs, and post-call follow-up • Calendar, inbox, and communications management • Operational projects that cross departments — hiring, GTM, fundraising prep, process builds • Proactive identification of problems before they surface • Whatever is the highest priority that week Who this is for • A genuine generalist - you don't need a defined lane to do great work • Sharp, driven, and honest - you flag problems early and always bring a solution • Strong written and spoken English; you communicate clearly at executive level • Curious about AI and how it's changing the way fast-moving companies operate • Comfortable with ambiguity - you make good calls with limited context and don't wait to be told • ecently graduated or early in your career and looking for the fastest path to real ownership What you get • Monthly salary up to R 20,000 • Performance-based bonuses that can add up to 3 months salary • Modern laptop/hardware provided by us • Specialized training in AI and LLM tools • Access to a community of automation engineers, designers, and senior operators How we hire Selection is rigorous. We hire for potential, judgment, and intellectual curiosity — not years of experience. If you're the kind of person who solves problems before they become problems, we want to hear from you.
