Founder's Associate

Want to grow a company, not just work at one?

Cashew is Singapore's fastest-growing mortgage platforms, and we're hiring a Founder's Associate to drive growth alongside our founder.

You'll test new lead channels, launch new verticals, run partnerships and content experiments, and build the tools and automations that let a small team outperform. You'll own real numbers and help decide what we try next.

You'll also advise clients yourself, because the best growth ideas come from customers. Talking to homeowners and buyers every day shows you what makes people act, which messages land and where the funnel leaks.

You'll use AI and new tools more than almost anyone in this industry, and we'll expect you to find the next ones.

What you'll do

Run lead generation experiments across new channels, partnerships and content, and report on what worked and what didn't

Spot and test new growth verticals, from adjacent products to new client segments and referral partners

Find, set up and roll out new tools (AI, automation, CRM, outreach), then make sure the team actually uses them

Stress-test and improve our AI tools and internal systems

Work directly with the founder on projects that don't fit neatly into anyone's job yet

Work with senior advisors on live cases and find gaps in the workflow

Keep clean, accurate records and hit agreed activity and conversion targets

Who we're looking for

A undergraduate degree (technical background preferred). Fresh graduates welcome.

A builder's mindset: you'd rather try something this week than debate it for a month

Comfortable with technology. You pick up new tools fast, and ideally you've built, automated or hacked something together before.

Curious about AI and happy to experiment with it daily

Strong spoken and written English. Mandarin is a plus.

Eager to learn, with the discipline to keep going once the novelty wears off

Excited by startup life: ambiguity, speed, ownership and doing whatever the week needs

Coachable, organised and honest. We help people with the biggest financial commitment most of them will ever make.

Able to work on-site at our Singapore office

What you'll get

A seat right beside the founder at a fast-scaling startup

Training from advisors with 20+ years in Singapore mortgages, on real cases from week one

A front-row view of how a startup grows: channels, experiments, tooling and the numbers behind them

The chance to shape this role instead of inheriting someone else's version of it

A short path to seniority, whether that means leading advisory, leading growth or both. We promote from within, and we're growing fast enough to need to.

Cashew is building the region’s first fully digital, end-to-end mortgage platform—covering discovery, qualification, and funding in one seamless experience. Starting as a digital mortgage broker, we are evolving into a capital-light lender through strategic partnerships, redefining how home loans are accessed and managed.

Founded in Singapore, Cashew combines real-time rate intelligence, modern product design, and technology-driven workflows to deliver better outcomes for homeowners. Our ambition extends beyond a single market as we are scaling across Asia Pacific.

At Cashew, you’ll work at the intersection of fintech, property, and data—helping build core financial infrastructure for millions, alongside a small, driven team with a strong product and ownership mindset.
