Founders Associate

⚠️ Read this first

**Most people should not take this job.**

> If you need someone to tell you what to do every day, do not apply. If you want a clear career ladder with annual reviews, do not apply. If you're looking for a "safe" job at a "real" company, do not apply.

We are an automation agency. That means small team, big ownership, and zero corporate fluff.

You will figure things out as you go. You will context-switch constantly. You will become a builder.

**If you want to learn how modern B2B companies actually grow — and you want to be close to the action — this is your seat.**

⚒️ The Role: Right Hand to the Founder

You're not here to "support." You're here to **own**.

**The Why:** Every hour I spend on ops, admin, or context-switching is an hour not spent on clients, partnerships, or building new things. You give me that time back — and you grow fast in the process.

**The Work (High & Low):**

- **Client Delivery:** Own parts of client projects — research, Clay builds, workflow setup, QA. You'll touch real GTM problems every week. - **Operations:** Keep the machine running. Proposals, invoicing, documentation, tool management. Build systems so things don't fall through cracks. - **Research & Strategy:** Dig into markets, competitors, and new opportunities. Help shape what we offer and who we offer it to. - **Product Development:** We're exploring a GTM Career Accelerator. You'll help validate, build, and launch it. - **Content & Visibility:** When you learn something worth sharing, help turn it into content that builds our reputation.

🥇 Defining Success (outcomes > inputs)

We don't count hours. We measure whether things get done.

- **Founder Leverage:** I spend less time on noise and more time on what matters. You made that happen. - **Reliability:** When you own something, it's owned. No chasing, no reminders, no dropped balls. - **Systemization:** You don't just do the work — you make the work easier to repeat next time. - **Growth:** You're visibly better at GTM, automation, and business after 3 months than when you started.

🧠 Who You Are

We care about traits, not credentials. But traits show up in what you've done.

→ **You've built something.** A side project, a student org, a failed startup, a scrappy internship where you did way more than your title. Something that proves you ship.

→ **You're a driver, not a passenger.** You don't wait for instructions. You see a gap, you fill it. You own your mistakes and fix them.

→ **You're rigorous but fast.** You studied something hard (BWL, Computer Science, whatever). You can think clearly and structure problems — but you don't over-engineer.

→ **You're low-ego and high-output.** You'll draft a client proposal and fix a broken Notion database in the same afternoon. No task is beneath you.

→ **You communicate directly.** No fluff, no filler, no "just circling back." You say what you mean and you write clearly.

📋 The Non-Negotiables

- Fluent English (written and spoken) - German is a strong plus — most clients are DACH-based - Comfortable with Notion, Google Workspace, Slack - Familiarity with Clay, n8n, or Make is a bonus (we'll teach you) - Timezone overlap ideally with GMT +/- 3hrs

### 🚀 The Upside (Why Join Us?)

- **The Real-World GTM Education:** You'll see how B2B SaaS companies actually do outbound, inbound, and RevOps. - **The Network:** Clay, n8n, YC-backed founders, headhunters, VCs. - **Autonomy:** We hire adults. You manage your time, your output, your growth. - **Impact:** Your work directly shapes the business. No layers, no politics. - **Optionality:** Whether you want to start something, join an early-stage team, or go deep on GTM/RevOps — this role sets you up.
