Founder's Associate

Founder's Associate

FitXR is a fitness technology company working at the cutting edge of VR and MR, building a movement for movement.

We started life in 2016 in a garden shed in the UK. Today, we’re building FitXR, one of the top-downloaded apps on the Meta Quest store. We’ve raised close to $30m from top investors such as Maveron, Hiro, and BoostVC.

We've built a growing range of fitness studios, from box workouts with world-class trainers like Olympian Nicola Adams to immersive Zumba dance classes. While nothing compares to trying it yourself, you can watch a trailer here.

Our team is distributed across Europe and the US. We’re guided by our Principles of Play: four core beliefs about how we treat each other and our community. We make space for every voice, believe in the importance of a learner’s mindset, and prioritize team success over individual glory.

FitXR is available on Meta Quest 2 & 3 and has been downloaded by over a million people worldwide and featured in Forbes, Empire, T3, Washington Post, Men's Health, GQ and more. In 2022, FitXR ranked 6th in The Information’s 50 Most Promising Startups.

TLDR

We’re looking for a Founder’s Associate to work directly with our CEO and Senior Leadership Team across marketing, product, and operations. In this high-impact role, you’ll take on diverse, critical projects that shape FitXR’s future while gaining hands-on exposure to every corner of the business.

• Identifying and solving inefficiencies across teams and processes.
• Influencing decisions by working closely with leadership and ensuring initiatives stay on track.
• Driving change in marketing, product, and operations through both strategic thinking and hands-on execution.

We’d love to see from you

This role is ideal for someone who sees it as a springboard for their career. If you enjoy taking on diverse challenges and don’t shy away from tough problems, you’ll thrive here:

• You’re hungry for growth: You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get involved across the board.
• You embrace variety: You thrive when every day looks different and are excited by new challenges.
• You’re a problem-solver: Repetitive work doesn’t faze you - you find ways to streamline and improve it.
• You’re adaptable and calm under pressure: Fast-paced environments don’t overwhelm you - they're where you thrive.

Our mission is to make the world a healthier place with the world's most loved fitness product: to create a Movement for Movement. To build inclusive products, we need to build an inclusive team. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot. We promote a diverse and inclusive culture at FitXR.
