Lead, Founder’s Office

About the Role

The Office of the CEO (“OOTCEO”) – Chairman is central to how the company raises capital, manages its board, and pursues corporate development, M&A, and various other mission-critical strategic initiatives. As the business scales rapidly, the volume and pace of that work is increasing.

As Founder’s Principal, you will collaborate closely with the Co-CEO as an execution partner on the company’s highest-priority work, including fundraising and capital strategy, investor relations, board management, and priorities that sit at the top of the Co-CEO’s agenda. You will build the materials and analysis behind major decisions and work alongside sophisticated investors and board members. This is a fast-paced, high-ownership role offering rare access to how a high-growth company is built and financed.

You will participate directly in live capital raises, board meetings, and strategic transactions with investors such as Mubadala, Uber, and Woven Capital. The position serves as a launchpad: strong performers will take on increasing ownership of workstreams and have a clear path to senior roles throughout the business.
