About the role

Job Description: Founder Associate

About Us: Syncware AI is on a mission to make logistics less stressful for professionals by providing AI tools that make their job easier.

We are looking for a highly motivated and resourceful individual to join our team as a Founder Associate. This unique role will work closely with the founder(s) to shape the future of our company and drive business growth.

Goal of the role

Making sure I am using my time in the best possible way. Right now, there are important tasks that I don’t get to because I’m spending time doing tasks that don’t make good use of my skills (tasks that are urgent or important but don't affect the trajectory of the business).

Responsibilities

Assist the founder(s) in executing strategic initiatives, including market research, product development, and business planning.
Conduct in-depth analysis and provide data-driven insights to support decision-making and business strategy.
Create presentations to internal and external stakeholders, highlighting key findings, progress, and recommendations.
Maintain consistency in our lead generation efforts.
Manage the social media accounts
Monitor industry trends and competitive landscape to inform strategic decisions and maintain the company's competitive edge.
Assist in fundraising efforts by preparing pitch decks, and investor materials.
Support the founder(s) in daily operational tasks, such as managing schedules, organizing meetings, and communicating with internal and external parties.
Act as a sounding board for the founder(s) by providing thoughtful feedback, ideas, and suggestions to help drive the business forward.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate is either a highly driven recent graduate or someone with 1-2 years of business development experience. Rather than academic qualifications, the traits I am looking for are consistency, mental toughness, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Prior knowledge of warehousing and artificial intelligence is a huge plus. As well as experience with Notion, Slack, CRM, ChatGPT, Namecheap, Canva, Midjourney, Webflow, Figma and more.

What We Offer

A unique opportunity to work closely with the founder(s) and have a direct impact on the company's growth and success.
A dynamic and fast-paced work environment where your ideas and contributions are valued.
Opportunities for personal and professional growth, including mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs and industry experts.
Compensation based on outcomes. You create your own success.
A flexible work schedule with the option to work remotely.

Managing Expectations

I need someone to partner with, who can be fully trusted with managing my calendar, my email, my phone, my contacts.

The job is highly KPI driven and will initially involve maintaining some of our KPIs for outbound outreach so that base comp is covered. Once this is going well, we will pile on extra responsibilities to increase compensation.

I’m cool if you’re not my associate forever, but I want someone who will do this job happily and with great focus for at least 1 year. Beyond that, if you discover an aspect of the company you are thrilled about I’d love to promote you into one of our teams and task you with hiring and training your replacement.

When the company can shoulder it, I would like to compensate you in the top quartile of the salary range for this position, because I know you will work a lot of hours and carry a lot of my worries as your worries.

Together, we will build a company and if you want to learn what it’s like to run a company then I invite you to come run a company with me.

We thank all applicants for their interest, but only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted. Syncware is an equal-opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds.
