Founder's Associate

At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. The biggest challenge AI companies face today is not half as glamorous as the outside world may think : it's all about data quality. In fact, the success of any AI application today relies on the quality of a model's data and for 95% of teams, this essential step is both the most costly, and the most time-consuming, in getting their product to market.

As ex-computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first-hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building AI. AI today is what the early days of computing or the internet were like, where the potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are still primitive, preventing the next generation of applications. This is why we started Encord.

We are a talented and ambitious team of 100+, working at the cutting edge of multimodal AI and deep learning, backed by top investors, including Next47, CRV and YC, leading industry executives like Luc Vincent, former VP of AI at Meta, and other top Bay Area leaders in AI. We are one of the fastest growing companies in our space, and consistently rated as the best tool in the market by our customers. We have big plans ahead and are looking for a rockstar Founder's Associate to join us and help us scale.

The Role

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, multi-talented individual who wants to see the inside of a fast-paced scaleup and work closely with the co-founders and senior team. The ideal candidate is a superstar who is willing to work hard, roll up their sleeves and support the founders in their day-to-day tasks, while learning about every aspect of what it takes to run a fast growing business. You will work directly with Encord's senior team and get unique visibility into an exciting, high-growth, mission-based scaleup.

Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will involve :

  • Working directly with the co-founders and other members of the senior team on a variety of projects / tasks : from presentations and spreadsheets, to basic reporting and various growth initiatives
  • Research : ranging from customer research to identifying new opportunities to supporting strategic decisions
  • Tracking the ROI of various growth channels to improve resource allocation and identify new growth curves
  • Designing, releasing & improving a careers page to attract the next wave of Encord talent
  • Ensure we keep our start-up atmosphere as we scale : plan and coordinate activities and events (e.g., team outings, in-office events etc.)
  • Be integral part in growing the business support Encord's presence on social media, conferences and more
  • Crunching numbers on customer's usage of the product to help inform our Customer Success team's quarterly success planning

About You

  • 2+ years of experience in high-intensity, high-velocity 1) startups, as an early-employee or founder 2) top-tier consulting, IB, PE or similar fast-paced environments.
  • You're a do-er. You are happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuff done - from slides for an internal meeting to a demo for a client.
  • You're an expert at taking end-to-end ownership of broad, ambiguous problems and thinking from first principles to achieve a result.
  • You're obsessed with achieving an objective and getting results. You work best when given an outcome to aim towards, and iterating autonomously (collaborating with the rest of the team / pulling people in as needed) to find a way there. You don't take no for an answer; you are scrappy and resourceful.
  • You're an entrepreneur and want to be a part of building a business from the ground up. You're good at context-switching and jumping from a candidate interview, to an excel model, to a vision-pitch draft.
  • You're probably happiest when working really hard and solving challenging problems. You know this requires dedication and some sacrifice but you think it's worth it. You work hard and smartly - you're always thinking of ways to accomplish more with the time and energy you have.
  • You're detail oriented and organized, and you proactively pull others in when you need help before you get stuck. Your team is always up to date on where projects are and rarely do you find things slip, even when covering a large surface area.
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive salary, commission and equity in a hyper growth business.
  • Strong in-person culture : most of our team is in the office 3+ days a week.
  • Generous holiday allowance + public holidays.
  • Annual learning and development budget.
  • Paid trips to visit prospects, attend conferences, host events across UK, Europe and US.
  • Company lunches twice a week.
  • Monthly socials & bi-annual off-sites.
