Founder's Associate

• You will work closely with the Founder-CEO as the person he hands the hardest, least-defined problems to - trusting you to run them to ground and come back with an answer or an outcome.
• One week you’re building the financial model that goes to the board; the next you’re standing up a new operational process, running a hiring search, or writing the memo that decides which market we enter next.
• Your mission is simple to state and hard to do: take work off the founder’s plate and make the company move faster.
• You will multiply the Founder-CEO across strategy, operations, finance, and hiring, spotting what’s falling through the cracks, owning it end-to-end, and either fixing it yourself or building the process (or hire) that fixes it for good.
• This is a hands-on, high-trust, high-ownership seat in a startup. You’ll work directly alongside the Founder-CEO, learn the business from every angle, and use AI tools (including Claude) to out-work and out-analyse teams many times your size.
