Chief of Staff
Works directly with a startup founder on strategic initiatives, marketing, operations, sales and much more. This role is an exceptional opportunity to shape an organisation, and form part of the senior leadership team.
Head of Special Projects
You’d be seeking out opportunities for your startup to expand, evolve and improve - and then executing on high-impact projects. You might be building a new stream of revenue, working to understand customer needs, or expanding to a new location.
Head of Operations
Operators form the backbone of the company, making sure it runs efficiently and with a solid strategy. You could be responsible for everything from organisational structure, to finance, to the day-to-day running of the business.
Strategy Lead
As Strategy Lead, you'd be responsible for finding opportunities for the business to grow. You'd take into account trends, gaps, and customer needs, and then make recommendations around what the company should focus on, and how they should allocate resources.
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 be part of the senior leadership.
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) allow you to really dig into the reality of each role.
We help you find the right startup and the right role for you.
