About the role:

As Founder’s Associate, your mission is to dive into whatever is most impactful to the business. You’ll be working hand in hand with the founders and CEO, spanning all key aspects of the business, including strategy, sales, operations, and product. Your work will balance strategic special projects and more tactical short-term goals. This opportunity is ideal for a highly motivated problem solver with strong people and analytical skills. Over time, you’ll understand where you want to go within the business and we’ll help you develop the skills to be promoted into that role.

Here’s what you’ll do day to day:

  • Partner directly with the CEO and COO to align on and execute the company’s top priorities
  • Provide key strategic and operational support to Sir John Hegarty, our main creative lead
  • Contribute to high-level strategic conversations while also driving day-to-day execution
  • Operate cross-functionally, gaining hands-on experience across product, marketing, sales, and operations
  • Manage and moderate Q&A sessions for our courses alongside featured presenters
  • Source, outreach to, and coordinate guest speakers for upcoming course sessions
  • Build and nurture our growing community of course participants
  • Support sales and marketing efforts to help promote our courses and hit commercial targets
  • Oversee operational logistics to ensure a seamless course experience, including participant enrollment and communication with stakeholders

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • 2-4 years of professional experience, ideally in start-up environments
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the confidence to navigate a wide range of situations
  • Highly organised with the ability to manage and prioritise tasks independently
  • Familiarity with social media platforms, especially LinkedIn, and how to use them professionally
  • Experience using CRM tools (preferred but not essential)
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you’re excited to shape your role and make a real impact from day one
  • A positive, can-do attitude and the willingness to roll up your sleeves and get involved across the business

Why we think you’ll love working with us:

  • Work directly with the founders of a fast-moving, flexible, and focused team that has already taken a startup from an idea to a profitable business within 3 years
  • Just like us, you’ll be learning every day. You’ll have an opportunity to learn and grow very quickly, with the help of a team that has built and exited multiple previous businesses
  • You will be working closely with a legend in the advertising industry (Sir John Hegarty) 
  • Hybrid working environment, 3 days in office in Soho 
  • Competitive salary with additional benefits
  • Ongoing professional development opportunities and access to our own courses.
  • A supportive, ambitious, and entrepreneurial team culture.

We are an office-based company located in Soho, London, with a flexible approach to in-office days. Employees are asked to work from the office three days a week Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This allows us to collaborate as a team, connect, and celebrate our vibrant and unique culture!
