Founder's Associate (Part-Time)
Hybrid
£1,000 - £1,250 per month + Performance Progression + Potential Equity Opportunity
15–20 Hours Per Week
About The Businesses
You will be working directly with the founder across two growing businesses operating within property, media, technology and AI.
The first business is a property media and marketing platform that helps property developers, agents and partners attract and engage home buyers through content, advertising, lead generation and audience growth. The platform reaches hundreds of thousands of consumers across its digital channels and works with developers and property brands in the UK and internationally.
The second business is an AI-powered technology platform focused on improving the home-buying journey. The platform combines buyer intelligence, automation, data and AI to help property professionals better understand, qualify and convert prospective buyers.
Together, the businesses sit at the intersection of property, media, technology and AI, with a long-term vision of transforming how people discover, evaluate and purchase homes.
About The Role
We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and ambitious Founder's Associate to work directly with the founder across both businesses.
This is not a traditional PA, EA or Virtual Assistant role.
This is an execution-focused role for someone who enjoys solving problems, building systems, managing projects and helping businesses grow.
You will gain exposure to:
- Operations
- Product Development
- Sales
- Marketing
- Partnerships
- Hiring
- Fundraising
- Strategy
- AI & Automation
The successful candidate will become a key part of the business and help create the structure, accountability and operational discipline required to scale.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to learn how high-growth businesses are built and is looking for a long-term opportunity to grow alongside the company.
Responsibilities
- Project manage business initiatives from planning through to completion
- Build, document and improve SOPs, workflows and internal processes
- Track priorities, deadlines and key deliverables

- Support sales, partnerships and business development activities
- Assist with fundraising and investor-related projects
- Maintain CRM systems, project trackers and operational dashboards
- Prepare presentations, reports, meeting notes and business documentation
- Identify inefficiencies and propose improvements
- Ensure projects move forward without constant founder involvement
- Support implementation of AI, automation and operational systems
Who Will Thrive In This Role
This role is ideal for someone who is ambitious, hungry to learn and looking to accelerate their career.
You may be early in your career, but you are already the type of person who naturally takes ownership, follows through and gets things done.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has high energy and a strong work ethic
- Wants significant responsibility and exposure to how businesses are built
- Is excited by start-ups and fast-moving environments
- Learns quickly and enjoys solving problems
- Is naturally curious and proactive
- Wants to grow into a senior operations, Chief of Staff, leadership or founder-level role in the future
- Takes pride in being reliable, organised and accountable
- Is comfortable working across multiple projects and priorities
- Wants to build something meaningful rather than simply complete tasks
What We're Looking For
This role is not suited to someone who needs constant direction or waits to be told what to do next.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Highly proactive and naturally takes ownership
- Exceptionally organised and process-driven
- Disciplined with strong attention to detail
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously
- Relentless when it comes to follow-up and execution
- Able to identify problems and propose solutions independently
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving start-up environment
- Resourceful and able to figure things out without excessive hand-holding
- Strong at documenting processes and creating structure
- Comfortable using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and similar platforms to improve productivity
Preferred Experience

- Operations
- Project Management
- Founder Support
- Business Operations
- Recruitment & Hiring
- CRM Management
- Process Improvement
- Start-ups
- SaaS or Technology Businesses
- Property Industry
Experience using Airtable, Notion, ClickUp, HubSpot or similar systems is beneficial but not essential.

- Approximately 15–20 hours per week initially
