London, Greater London, United Kingdom Specter Labs Full time £48,000 - £80,000 per year
The Role

We're hiring a Founder's Associate to work directly with our founders across the most important parts of the business. This is not a generic ops role — it's a high-exposure, high-impact position for someone who wants to learn how a fast-growing startup is built from the inside.

We're looking for someone with 1–2 years of experience in venture capital or a fast-growing startup, who is digitally savvy, naturally curious, and comfortable diving into tools, workflows, and technical products. You'll help us move faster, keep the company running smoothly, and elevate how we operate internally and externally.

If you love variety, ownership, tools, and building structure in chaos — this is the role.

What You'll Be Doing

Partner directly with the founders on strategic projects across GTM, product, research, and operations.

Drive our community efforts — supporting events, managing investor/client engagement, nurturing relationships, and helping build a thriving user ecosystem.

Own general operations — scheduling, documentation, process upkeep, internal coordination, and removing blockers across the organisation.

Work across product & technical workflows — dive into new tools, test new features, understand how things fit together, and support cross-team execution.

Support hiring & team building — coordinate interviews, source talent, and help maintain a strong talent pipeline.

Solve problems proactively — when something doesn't work, you're the first to diagnose it and the fastest to fix it.

Who You Are

1–2 years of experience in VC, a high-growth startup, consulting, or an analytical/operational field.

Digitally fluent — comfortable with modern SaaS tools, analytics platforms, CRM systems, workflow automation, and learning new software quickly.

Curious about technical products — not an engineer, but someone who loves understanding how products work and how data flows.

A flexible generalist — happy switching between community, product, operations, and GTM projects.

High-agency operator — proactive, resourceful, and able to take a vague problem and drive it to completion.

Strong communicator — clear writing, structured thinking, and able to interface with teams, clients, and partners confidently.

Detail-oriented and organised — you keep processes tight, documentation clean, and priorities aligned.

Why This Role Matters

As our Founder's Associate, you're not just supporting operations — you're amplifying the founders' bandwidth and shaping the way Specter runs. You'll influence decisions across product, sales, community, operations, research, and hiring.

This role gives you:

Daily exposure to founders and strategic decision-making

Ownership across multiple functions

Real influence on how a startup scales

A path into GTM, operations, product, or chief-of-staff–style leadership roles

You'll be at the centre of Specter — helping build the infrastructure shaping the future of private markets.
