Early-stage Fintech seeks first commercial and operations team member

💡What we're looking for

We're looking to hire our first commercial and operations team member to join as a Founders' Associate, working directly with the founders on a wide range of exciting tasks and problems to help build and scale the company.

  • Develop and manage commercial partnerships with banks and accounting technology companies
  • Managing investor relationships with existing and prospective investors as well as preparing materials for board meetings and future funding rounds

  • Help with hiring for key roles
  • Proposing ways to support the operations and culture
  • Contributing to team meetings and off-sites

✅ You will be a great fit if you

  • Comfortable with autonomy
  • Excellent with time management and quickly shifting tasks as priorities flux, especially as you will be working on multiple projects in parallel

  • Excellent communication skills
  • React well under pressure or with task ambiguity
  • Adept at handling sensitive information and situations with care and confidence
  • Proactive - be able to anticipate and respond to the needs of the co-founders before they arise
