Founder Associate
$90k - $120kClera
About the Role This is a true 0-to-1 operator seat sitting directly alongside the founding team of a pre-seed AI recruiting startup. You will work across product, growth, operations, and key partnerships, driving high-impact projects end-to-end and helping shape the foundation of a category-defining platform in the global talent market.
What You'll Do Lead founder-priority projects spanning new market initiatives, strategy, and execution. Own and improve the candidate experience and conversion funnel to drive better outcomes. Design and implement scalable operational processes that keep pace with rapid growth. Support go-to-market efforts including messaging refinement, growth experiments, and partnerships. Translate real-world candidate and company feedback into actionable product priorities. Switch independently across operations, recruiting, strategy, and special projects as needed. What We're Looking For Approximately 1 to 3 years of relevant professional experience in a hands-on operator role. Prior experience as a Founder Associate, Chief of Staff, or comparable early-stage startup operator. Demonstrated ownership of operations end-to-end, rather than a primarily product or technical background. Background at high-performance organizations, such as top-tier consulting firms, fast-scaling tech companies, or venture-backed startups. Comfortable moving fast, thinking sharply, and holding yourself to high standards. Motivated by driving real outcomes, not just supporting others. Ambition toward becoming a founder, GM, or early executive. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $90,000 to $120,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.
Location On-site in San Francisco, California . This role requires living and working in person with the founding team. It is not remote.
