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
