Founder's Office Assistant (Junior)

We’re a deep-tech startup working on highly technical AI products, and day-to-day operations need to run smoothly to keep everything on track. The founder handles multiple responsibilities — from product and client discussions to hiring and partnerships — and needs someone reliable to assist closely across communication, coordination, and organization.

This role is ideal for someone who’s structured, proactive, and eager to be part of something growing. You’ll get to learn how a startup operates from the inside and take ownership of keeping tasks, conversations, and follow-ups organized and moving.

🧩 Your Role: Supporting the Founder Day-to-Day

You’ll be directly assisting the founder with tasks that make the entire company run smoother. From following up with clients, managing meeting schedules, organizing documents, to keeping an eye on key deals.

🗂️ Documentation & Founder Support

✅ You’ll Do Well If You...

• Write and speak clear English
• Are proactive — you don’t need to be told twice
• Are super organized and like when everything is structured and in its place
