Job Description:

Prime Intellect is hiring a Founder's Associate, Business Operations to act as a right hand to senior management. This is a high-trust, high-pace role for someone with exceptional judgment and execution who wants to operate at the centre of a frontier AI company. You’ll work directly with leadership to drive priorities forward, keep execution tight, and remove friction across the org. The work is varied, ambiguous, and intensely practical — the reward is outsized learning, real responsibility, and a clear path to bigger scope for high performers.

Job Responsibility:

  • Act as a day-to-day extension of senior management: follow-ups, prioritisation, and closing loops
  • Turn ambiguous problems into clear plans, timelines, owners, and shipped results
  • Drive special projects across functions (ops, finance, recruiting coordination, internal comms, logistics)
  • Prepare briefs, updates, decision memos, and meeting notes that keep everyone aligned
  • Build lightweight systems that make execution predictable (tracking, documentation, SOPs)
  • Create a high-quality internal “operating rhythm”: weekly priorities, reporting, and accountability
  • Spot recurring friction and implement fixes that reduce overhead for the team
  • Jump on whatever is highest priority that week — and deliver without hand-holding
  • Coordinate across time zones (SF/Berlin) to ensure tight communication and fast turnaround
  • Support key moments: hiring/onboarding coordination, team planning, travel/event logistics when needed

Requirements:

  • Elite execution ability: fast, precise, relentlessly reliable
  • Can operate independently with excellent judgment and follow-through
  • Communicate clearly and proactively, especially in high-velocity environments
  • Enjoy being accountable for outcomes, not just tasks
  • Have strong organisational instincts and can impose structure on ambiguity
  • Common backgrounds that do well here: Top-performing early-career candidates from finance, consulting, investing, research, or high-intensity startups
  • People who’ve held high-responsibility leadership roles and thrive in demanding environments
What we offer:
  • Proximity to decision-making: learn how frontier companies are built from the inside
  • High trust + real responsibility: meaningful scope from day one
  • Meritocratic growth: strong performers expand scope rapidly
  • Mission + intensity: work alongside a world-class team pushing the frontier of open AGI

Requirements
  • 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.
