Founders Associate

You'll support the CEO & COO and augment their capacity by taking on problems to solve that are critically important to GetGround. Some weeks that means building the model that decides whether we enter a new market. Others it means untangling why a core funnel is leaking, or writing the board paper, or standing up a function from scratch and handing it over. The brief changes constantly. What doesn't change is that you own the problem space and be accountable for creating impact.

What you'll do

• Own the CEO & COO’s highest-priority problems end to end, usually two or three at a time, each lasting anywhere from a fortnight to a quarter. You'll define the question, do the analysis, form a view, get buy-in, and see it through to execution.
• Do the analysis yourself. You'll pull the data, build the model, and stress-test your own conclusions before anyone else does. We don't have an army of analysts for you to delegate to, and we like it that way.
• Turn strategy into things that ship. Most of these projects die without someone driving cross-functional teams to a deadline. You will be accountable for shipping these initiatives and creating impact.
• Prepare the CEO & COO for the rooms that matter, board meetings, investor conversations, partnership negotiations. You'll shape what gets said.
• Spot what nobody is looking at. A good Founder Associate brings problems to the CEO & COO as often as they receive them.

What we are looking for

• 2 to 5+ years in strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, or an operating role at a high-growth startup.
• Strong commercial judgement. You can look at a messy situation, work out which two numbers actually matter, and be roughly right quickly rather than precisely right too late.
• You write and communicate difficult concepts and topics in simple, clear terms and to an expert level.
• You can influence without authority
• High tolerance for ambiguity and pace. Priorities shift. Projects get killed. If that sounds exhausting rather than energising, this isn't the role.

Nice to have

• Exposure to fintech, proptech, or regulated financial services
• Experience taking something from zero to one inside an existing company
