Founder’s Associate
Founder’s Associates are generalists who work directly with a startup founder on strategic initiatives, marketing, operations, sales and much more. This role is an exceptional opportunity for anyone keen to quickly climb the ranks and form part of the senior leadership team within a couple of years.
Marketing Associate
Marketing is about understanding the customer, and reaching the right people in the most engaging way. If you're people-focused and love thinking creatively, you might like a marketing role.
Operations Executive
Operators form the backbone of the company, making sure it runs efficiently and with a solid strategy. If you're super organised and practical, operations could be a great fit for you.
Business Analyst
Analysts excel at crunching the data to find unique ways to improve products, make forecasts, and identify operational issues. The best Analysts can relate the detail to the bigger picture.
Something else?
Each cohort has a real variety of roles, so you’ll definitely find something that suits you. You might even be surprised about which role takes your fancy when you start hearing from the startup founders and teams. Our startup spotlights (where you hear directly from teams and founders over Zoom) demystify roles that can often be a little confusing when they’re written in a job description.
We help you find the right startup and the right role for you.
