The role
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, driven individual who wants to see the inside of a fast-paced scale-up while working closely with the co-founders and senior team. The ideal candidate is someone willing to work hard, roll up their sleeves, and support the founders' priorities while learning every aspect of the business; ideal for someone who can execute at a high level across a wide range of responsibilities.
You will work directly with the co-founders and company leadership with direct visibility into an exciting, high-growth, mission-driven business.
What you'll do
Work directly with the co-founders on strategic priorities across GTM, engineering, growth, and company operations, including how the leadership team runs (reporting cadences, business reviews, etc.)
Support key account relationships alongside the commercial team as engagements evolve, from scoping to resolving commercial issues
Research the market and competitive landscape to inform decisions, from customer research to competitive positioning
Assist in vendor and partner evaluation and make recommendations on what moves into production
Plan, execute, and attend events. From company offsites to industry conferences. Responsibilities can include speaker, sponsor outreach, and more.
Support executive communications and external-facing content strategy
Build trackers and dashboards that help the team make decisions across a variety of data types
Who we're looking for
A do-er who is comfortable rolling up your sleeves for anything from an internal slide deck to a client demo, and energized by building something from the ground up
You take end-to-end ownership of broad, ambiguous problems and think from first principles to get to a result, without needing hand-holding
Obsessed with outcomes: you work best when given a goal and the autonomy to find a way there, iterating scrappily and resourcefully until it's done
Entrepreneurial and comfortable context-switching rapidly: a candidate interview, an Excel model, and a vision-pitch draft might all land in the same afternoon
Detail-oriented and proactively communicative. You and your team are always up to date, things rarely slip, and you're already thinking three steps ahea
Experience requirements
2+ years in a high-intensity, high-velocity environment — early-stage startup (founding team or first 20 employees), top-tier management consulting, investment banking, private equity, or a similarly demanding, execution-focused setting
Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous brief, structure the problem, and drive it to a high-quality output end-to-end
Strong analytical and quantitative skills — comfortable building Excel or Google Sheets models, analysing product usage data, tracking growth metrics, and drawing actionable conclusions from numbers
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce polished decks, memos, and external-facing materials quickly and to a high standard
Proven track record of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball
Bonus: prior exposure to B2B SaaS or AI/ML; experience supporting a founder or C-suite executive directly; familiarity with GTM functions such as marketing, sales ops, or customer success
