5 months ago

London, United Kingdom Ember Full time

We’re Ember - an App for business owners that removes the burden of accounting and tax by taking care of it for them.

Since our founding in 2019, we’ve been working hard to bring this revolutionary new experience into the hands of thousands of business owners, raising over **£10m** in funding and becoming one of the most exciting start-ups in the UK today.

We are about to enter the next phase of our growth journey, and to help ensure we scale effectively, we’re hiring our first-ever Founder’s Associate to sit alongside our two founders, Aaron & Dan, to help facilitate all things partnerships and operations

**What you can expect from the role**:
As a Founder’s Associate, you will work with our two founders, Aaron & Dan - helping to support everything from putting together materials for partners to facilitating payroll.

You should expect the role to be extremely varied and fast-paced, but below is a flavour of the type of work you can expect to be doing as part of your day-to-day.

**Help us win and grow key strategic partnerships**:

- Source and map out org charts at potential targets, identifying who it is we should be looking at and why
- Produce partner collateral such as decks and white papers to help us win deals
- Lead on partner due diligence & data requests
- Managing existing partner’s reporting and account management requirements

**Take care of the admin to allow for smooth day-to-day operations**:

- Project manage and co-ordinate strategic initiatives across the organisation
- Co-ordinate and manage key aspects of the employee lifecycle, including the hiring process, employee onboarding and off-boarding processes
- Run, analyse and report on our ongoing employee engagement & productivity surveys
- Organise and facilitate team events, off-sites, leadership away days and other company rituals
- Facilitate month-end processes like bookkeeping & payroll
- Setup up and manage the company share option scheme and share registers

**Ensure we stay compliant as we grow**:

- Document and optimise internal processes & policies.
- Support monthly investor reporting requests and compliance
- Work with our legal counsel to support any contract reviews
- Manage Ember’s compliance and regulatory reporting requirements (FCA, AML & ICAEW)

**Note**: While we are a remote-first company, due to the role's close collaboration with our two founders, this role will be primarily based within our WeWork office space in Central London.

**Experience and skills that are important for the role**:
Given the varied nature of the role, we don’t expect you to have experience prior across every area of the spec (although any prior experience is always nice to see), rather we’re looking for someone with:

- Proven experience in a strategy, operations, consulting, or similar multifaceted role.
- A strong sense of ownership and drive, with a proactive approach to tackling challenges and seizing opportunities.
- Highly adaptable, with a proven track record of thriving in dynamic environments and navigating ambiguity.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the aptitude to engage effectively with all levels of the organisation and external partners.
- Strong project management abilities, capable of leading complex projects to successful completion.
- Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to derive insights from complex data.
- Fast-moving, hard-working and low ego

**Benefits**:

- **Share Options**: Everything we do is down to our team & we believe that we should all own a part of what we’re building - that’s why we give equity in the company to everyone on our team.
- **Training Days**: Everyone in the team is encouraged to take 1 day a month to spend on personal & professional development. This helps both you & Ember level up.
- **Learning & Education**: We also provide everyone with an annual training budget of £1,000 for books, courses and conferences
- **Holiday**: We offer 25 days of holiday a year, in addition to bank holidays - and we encourage you to use them all
- **Socials**: There’s an amazing camaraderie among the team, and at least once a quarter, we all like to get together and let our hair down a bit. The Quarterly off-site is not one to miss
- **Work from Abroad**: Whether it’s Barcelona or Berlin, everyone in the team is also eligible to take up to 4 weeks a year working from abroad.
- **Health & Wellbeing**: We offer paid sick leave for both physical & mental health, including any period complications or pains), we also provide on-demand access to mental health support via our partners at Oliva.
