Founder's Associate

$70k - $100k

Chief of Staff Network

Job Title

Location: NYC preferred

Work type: Full-time

Salary: $70,000–$100,000 salary + 0.25–0.3% equity

Responsibilities

The person who thrives here is organized to a fault, catches the details everyone else drops, and finds a way through when the obvious path is a dead end. You move fast, and you close every loop.

What You'll Own
  • Running the operation. Keep the trains running and turn our one-off scrambles into systems that don't break.
  • Extension of the CEO. Carry the CEO's projects, decisions, and follow-ups, and speak for them in the rooms they can't be in.
  • Go-to-market. Outreach, campaign building, and figuring out what works and what doesn't.
  • Agent and automation building. Build the AI agents and business flow automations behind our pipeline and internal tools. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need to get your hands dirty.
  • Research. Size up a new market, dig into the rules that govern it, and chase down the answer nobody has yet.
Requirements
  • 1 to 5 years of experience, ideally early in your career.
  • Strong critical thinking abilities and resourcefulness.
  • Operational experience, ideally managing complex and high-volume operations.
  • Relentlessly organized with sharp attention to detail.
  • A creative problem solver when the first three answers don't work.
  • Fast, low-ego, and reliable. You do what you say you'll do.
  • Comfortable with AI tools and able to pick up technical skills on your own.
  • Based in the New York City area, preferred. This role sits next to the CEO.
Bonus If You Have

Worked at a technology company, an investment bank, or a hedge fund, or come from anywhere the bar was set by output.
