# Founder's Associate

**Company:** [Gigs](https://hotfix.jobs/companies/gigs)
**Location:** New York, NY
**Role:** Business Operations
**Experience:** 4+ years
**Skills:** SQL, Spreadsheets, Financial Modeling, Claude, Cursor, n8n, Board Deck Creation, Data Analysis, Cross-Functional Project Management, AI Tools
**Posted:** 2026-05-21

> Operational lead for the Founder's Office supporting co-founder strategy, hiring, and initiatives. Own strategic projects, decks, data analysis, and cross-functional work while acting as personal assistant. High-agency role for ambitious operators with 4+ years experience.

## Job Description

## What You Will Do
- Drive strategic projects end-to-end on behalf of the founder's office, from launching the SF office, to standing up new operating cadences, to running company-wide reviews
- Build the artefacts decisions get made on: board decks, all-hands, founder updates, the internal memos leadership actually reads
- Pull and shape data to inform calls across hiring, ops, and finance, and surface what the numbers say that nobody is saying yet
- Own cross-functional initiatives that cut across product, talent, ops, and finance and need a single accountable owner with no team
- Use AI as a force multiplier. Ship more than people twice as senior, and raise the bar for what one person can do here
- Spot what is breaking, what is dragging, and what the founders should be paying attention to but are not, then go fix it

## What We Are Looking For
- 4+ years at a serious bar: top-tier consulting, banking, a high-trajectory operator role at a strong startup, or equivalent
- Demonstrably high trajectory. You have moved fast in every role you have held and have the references to prove it
- Strong on data. SQL, spreadsheets, a quick model, and the instinct to ask the right question before opening the tool
- AI-fluent. You use Claude, Cursor, n8n, or similar daily and have opinions about which tools earn their keep
- Crisp written communication. You can draft a founder update, board memo, or all-hands narrative without us having to rewrite it
- High agency. You unblock yourself, set your own bar, and do not wait for a process to tell you what is important
- Real ambition. You want to run something inside two years, and you are picking this seat because it is the fastest path there
- Nice-to-have: experience inside a Series B/C startup, ideally fintech, telco, or infra

## What We Offer
- Competitive compensation and stock options
- Stipends for home office or work setup
- Budget for learning and development
- Free phone and international data plan
