Prior Labs
What you'll do
As written by Prior Labs · Read the original
About the Role
As our Founder Associate, you sit in the founders' office and work directly with the founders and Chief of Staff to shape and execute the initiatives that drive Prior Labs' growth. You get real ownership of business functions, with broad exposure across the company, from strategy to execution.
We run our business functions with defined areas of ownership: Growth, Sales & Enablement, Marketing & Community, and People Ops. You pick up ownership across these areas based on what the company needs and where you're strongest, and you go deep where you have the most impact.
Everything we do is AI-first, so you'll spend less time on the grunt work and more time building the systems that make it obsolete.

An AI-first way of working: you try new tools the moment they come out, you know where they save time, and you know where your own judgment still has to take over

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on execution
Structured and reliable: when you own something, it's handled
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, in English
