Founder's Associate - Commercial

Flowstate helps companies plan and manage people and AI as one workforce. We're an early-stage team backed by a16z Scout Fund, Ventures Together, Haatch and Openseed. We have signed enterprise and mid-sized customers, key partnerships and significant further demand from both new and existing logos.

Our challenge is keeping pace with that demand while translating the customer traction into sharper product-market fit that sets us for true scale. Our founder and technical team have more opportunities than they can currently turn into results. Alongside that, we're preparing for our next raise and building our presence in the US.

We're looking for an exceptional Founder's Associate to help unlock that next stage.

If you've already worked closely with a startup founder, you'll know how valuable genuine customer demand is - and how much work sits between that demand and a company that scales. This is an opportunity to make a substantial contribution at a critical point, with meaningful ownership in what we build.

Fair warning: this job will be hard. You'll probably love it.

Your job is to create capacity for our founder, turn important priorities into completed work, support ongoing rounds, and help shape the foundations of a generational company.

You'll take ownership of projects across customers, partnerships, fundraising and commercial development. You'll help prepare the decisions and conversations that need the founder, and independently deliver much of the work around them, while also spotting new opportunities and being creative about how a step up in momentum can be achieved.

The role has a strong commercial focus: helping us convert demand, deliver value and learn what we can repeat and turn into a flywheel that drives significant growth.

It also requires excellent organisation, judgement and follow-through.

You'll need enough experience to be useful quickly. We'll help you learn Flowstate, our customers and our product; you should already know what it takes to get it done: from getting to grips with the market and opportunity, prioritising and sequencing work, to producing strong work and keeping everything moving through to completion.

We'll agree a small number of priorities at a time. Your responsibilities will include:

We're offering substantial responsibility now and room to earn more as the business develops.

You might build deeper ownership in customer success, partnerships, growth or another area where your strengths and the company's needs meet. We'll keep that conversation open as we learn what you're especially good at.

The immediate opportunity is to become excellent at this role and make yourself central to our progress.

Our founder intends to build in New York. We'll discuss openly how the role, location and working relationship could develop as that happens. Joining in London should come with a shared understanding of that direction.

This is an intense early-stage role. Priorities can change, deadlines can be tight, and occasional evening work or travel may be needed. We'll be clear about expectations and plan around them.

You'll work closely with the founder and team from our central London office, with flexibility when life requires. You'll need UK work authorisation.

You'll enjoy this if taking responsibility and making things happen gives you energy. You should be comfortable doing the detailed work yourself and interested in building processes that make it easier next time.
