Their team is comprised of founding engineers with elite technical backgrounds, including published research and top accelerator programs, as well as a Director of Sales recruited from one of the top three digital insurance brokers in the country, who is bringing their top sales talent along.

The ideal candidate will have 0-3 years of experience . Exceptional recent graduates are encouraged to apply, as are early-career professionals from consulting, finance, operations, strategy, startups, or other highly analytical and fast-paced environments.

• This is a high-leverage generalist role working directly alongside the CEO. As the Founder’s Associate, you’ll own whatever is most critical to the business at any given moment - whether that’s fundraising, operations, GTM strategy, analytics, partnerships, recruiting, or product initiatives.

• Tackle the highest-priority business challenges as they emerge.

• 1-3 years of experience at a top-tier consulting firm, investment bank, or comparable high-performance environment; exceptional new graduates will also be considered.
