Full Job Description
About This Role
That's where you come in. You sit next to the founders, see the whole business at once, and make sure nothing that matters falls through the cracks between fundraising, hiring, product, and go-to-market. You are the person who turns "someone should figure this out" into "it's done."
If you want influence over a company at the exact moment its shape is still being decided, this is that opportunity.
Key Responsibilities
Run point on the founders' highest-leverage priorities. Know what matters most this week, this month, this quarter, and make sure it actually happens
Own the operating rhythm of the company. Board prep, investor updates, all-hands, and the cadences that keep a fast-moving team aligned instead of scattered
Drop into any function when it counts. Finance, hiring, ops, GTM. You go wherever the fire or the opportunity is, without waiting to be asked twice
Turn ambiguous, half-formed problems into structured plans with clear owners and deadlines. The kind of clarity that lets a small team move like a much bigger one
Partner directly with the founders on fundraising. Data rooms, investor materials, diligence requests, and the details that make Affiniti look as sharp on paper as it is in practice
Build the systems, processes, and hires that let the company scale without losing the speed that got it here
Qualifications
3+ years of experience in a high-intensity, high-ownership environment. Startup, investment banking, consulting, or founder experience strongly preferred
End-to-end ownership. You can take a vague mandate from a founder and come back with a finished outcome, not a list of questions
Sharp written and verbal communication. You can write a board update or an investor email that sounds like it came from the founders themselves
Genuine financial and operational fluency. You can read a cap table, a cash flow statement, and a pipeline report and know what each one is actually telling you
A bias toward speed without sacrificing judgment. You move fast, but you know which decisions deserve a second look
High ownership. If you take problems as your own and see them through desired, outcome, you'll fit right in with the people who thrive here
