Founder’s Associate – Chief of Staff for B2B Software Group

About the role

This is a senior, founder‑led position that runs the Founder’s Office across a group of B2B software companies serving private wealth and governance clients. You will work through others with the founder’s authority, freeing the founder to focus on high‑impact activities.

Key responsibilities

• Own the operating rhythm – daily check‑ins, weekly business reviews, Friday updates and decision logs.
• Take ownerless workstreams (funding mechanics, alliance agreements, pricing clean‑up, specialist pools) from conversation to one‑page recommendation and execute the founder’s decision.
• Curate every decision that reaches the founder into a concise one‑page memo with options, recommendation and deadline.
• Close loops that require a person – chasing, calls, counsel, company secretary, candidates.
• Run hiring together with the recruiter (scorecards, interviews, references, trials, onboarding) so the founder only interviews and decides.
• Manage group operating admin (payroll, banking within limits, tools, filing calendar) until documented and handed over.
• Be the go‑to person for co‑founders, investors’ teams and advisers when decisions or owners are needed.
• Direct the AI operating layer (record‑keeping, cadence documents, meeting prep, first drafts) and own its output.

Required profile

• Exceptional writer – can turn a messy 40‑minute conversation into a clear one‑page memo with an honest recommendation.
• Proven ability to close loops across people who do not report to you.
• Comfortable interacting with senior leaders and carrying the founder’s proxy without overstepping.
• Numerate and discreet – will handle cap tables, salaries, co‑founder terms, payroll and banking within limits.
• AI‑first work style – already uses AI tools for research, drafting, analysis and automation.
• Humble, hungry, happy – prefers correction over being right and focuses on the binding constraint.

Required skills

• Proficiency with AI writing assistants (e.g., Claude or similar).

What we offer

• Equity participation tied to company performance.
• Outcome‑based bonus paid on results.
• Remote work on UK hours, with a week in Jersey each month for the first quarter and quarterly thereafter.
• Home‑office setup, learning and wellbeing budgets, and paid AI tool stack.
• Designed rest periods and a sustainable pace.
• Clear career path: chief of staff for 2‑3 years, then head of operations or a role you help create.
