Founder's Associate

Founder’s Associate - California (Remote-work possible) About Us I'm partnered with an early-stage EdTech startup looking to scale fast after exceptional recent funding. It's a small team with high standards; we care about people who take ownership, move quickly, and consistently deliver. You’ll work directly with the founder on the company’s most critical priorities: operations, logistics, strategy, and growth. This is not a support role. You’ll own outcomes, solve hard problems, and push the business forward. What You’ll Do Own high-impact projects end-to-end across the business Build systems and processes that actually scale Identify bottlenecks early and eliminate them fast Drive key initiatives across growth, operations, and expansion Turn ambiguity into clear plans and executed results What We’re Looking For Ideally 1 year + in a high-performance environment (top-tier startup, consulting, banking, or similar) Evidence of exceptional ability (fast progression, standout achievement, or operating beyond your level) Relentless desire for action and high accountability Structured thinker who executes quickly and independently Comfortable operating in ambiguity with minimal guidance High ownership, low ego, and strong internal standards Why This Role Direct line to the founder, with real influence on decisions High trust, high expectations, high autonomy Accelerated path into leadership or operating roles Build and scale something meaningful from the ground up #J-18808-Ljbffr
