Full Job Description
The role Founders Associates work directly with Marloo's founders on the most important work in the business. You will be part of a small team operating out of the office of the founders, embedded at the highest level of the company, with visibility into every major decision we make.
You take ownership of what matters most, whatever function it sits in. That means driving the initiatives that decide the quarter, picking up the gaps nobody owns yet, and carrying the work that would otherwise sit on a founder. You will watch a company scale across eight markets in real time and own pieces of it yourself within weeks.
What you will do
Work directly with the founders on the most important commercial and customer initiatives in the business
Get close enough to a problem to have a view, then build the business case for what we should do about it, and sell it to key stakeholders
Turn a decision into a plan with names and dates against it, and keep engineering, product and GTM moving until it is live
Represent Marloo with the senior leadership of our biggest firms, and be the person they call when a founder is not in the room
You think quantitatively. You can size a market, model a decision and know when the number you are looking at is wrong
Carry what you learn in the field back into the roadmap, so the next hundred firms get a better product than the last
Find the work nobody owns, and own it before anyone asks
Pitch in, because everyone at Marloo talks to customers
That's the role, so who are you? We are looking for exceptional people who have consistently delivered in demanding environments and want to do the most significant work of their career. Track record matters, but what we are really after is a learning rate that never levels off and an appetite to be uncomfortable.
You have two to four years at a top-tier consulting, investment banking, private equity or high-growth tech firm, operating at the sharp end, along with a STEM or similarly quantitative degree
You are a power user of AI tools, with Claude, Codex or Cursor built into how you work. You get bored solving the same problem twice and automate the repeatable parts rather than absorbing them
You take clear ownership, moving without perfect information and correcting course quickly
You write with precision, can hold a room of senior people, and earn an engineering team's trust the same afternoon, translating complex material for any audience
You build alignment across functions and earn trust internally
You are curious about financial advice, and how firms are structured, regulated and paid. You do not need to know it already, but the curiosity is not optional
You are in the office five days a week in NYC and up for travel
