The Role

Behind every founder sits a running list of high-potential initiatives that never quite get picked up — not because they don't matter, but because nobody has the bandwidth to own them. That list is what you're here for.

As Founders Associate, you'll work directly with GenPeach's leadership on the company's hardest, messiest, most cross-functional problems — the ones that don't fit neatly into any one team's mandate. You'll get real ownership from day one and a level of access to founders and C-level that's rare this early in a career.

Generalist, GTM-minded

• Partner directly with the CEO on whatever matters most to GenPeach's growth that quarter — priorities will shift, and so will you.

• Build new initiatives from scratch: product experiments, growth mechanisms, ideas that could eventually stand on their own as new lines of business.

• Move fluidly between strategic thinking and hands-on execution — one week that means prepping a team offsite and cold-calling prospects, the next it's untangling a legal question or shipping an automation that saves the team hours. You're equally comfortable in both modes.

• Follow the leverage wherever it leads: hiring and org design one month, a new product bet or market entry the next.

Driving the 0→1 engine: tools, GTM motion, and client conversations

• Switch between strategist and operator without friction — think through GTM logic in the morning, run a call with a cold prospect as an ad hoc BDR in the afternoon.

• Research new markets, verticals, and customer segments, and turn that research into concrete business cases and go-to-market plans.

• Spot GenPeach's biggest growth opportunities and translate them into plans the team can actually execute.

• Support the leadership team directly — prep and sit in on key meetings with design partners, and own the analysis behind them.

• Help shape a GTM engine strong enough to make GenPeach one of the best go-to-market organizations in Europe.

Who You Are

• Sharp, fast-moving, and motivated by seeing things actually get done.

• Capable of strategic thinking, but not afraid of unglamorous, hands-on work.

• You've seen what excellence looks like — through time at a strong startup, in consulting, or in venture.

• You default to ownership: you build the plan, find the solution, and don't wait to be told what to do.

• You've built something from zero before — enough that we could picture backing you if you started your own company someday.

• Low-ego, high-output — the kind of person who raises the bar for everyone around them.

• Fluent in English.

Why This Role Matters

You'll get unusually direct exposure to founders and senior leadership, working closely with them on the initiatives that matter most to GenPeach right now. The trajectory of the company is genuinely tied to what you deliver here.

The scope is intentionally broad — you'll rotate across different problem areas and go deep wherever the leverage is highest, building the range of instincts you'd need to eventually run something of your own. Most people in this role earn a clear next step within 12–18 months: leading a function, taking on a commercial role, spinning up a new business line, or striking out to found their own company.

What This Role Is — and What It Isn't

To be upfront about what you'd be signing up for:

• This is for people who want to build, analyze, and ship — not advise from a distance. You take on the most important problem regardless of whether it's messy, cross-functional, or unglamorous.

• You'll own problems end to end, move quickly, and figure things out as you go. In exchange, you get something genuinely rare: visible impact, real ownership from the start, and daily proximity to founders and senior leadership.

• The trade is simple: deliver real results and make a strong case for yourself, and we'll back your next move — inside GenPeach or wherever it takes you.

Why GenPeach

• We bet on young talent, seriously. Ambitious, capable people get real ownership early here, and there's no ceiling on what that can turn into.

• Backed by people who know the space. Our investors include leading names in GenAI, tier-1 VCs, and experienced angels. Our founders have shipped products at big tech companies and at startups that exited for $100M+.

• A genuinely AI-native company — with the tooling to match. Top AI tools and custom agents, available to everyone.

• High standards, high speed, genuinely enjoyable. You'll be surrounded by sharp, ambitious people who push the bar up every week. Fast-paced and never boring.

• You'll build something that actually lasts.

What We Offer

The people at GenPeach care about building the company, growing personally, and improving the product — while staying real and having fun along the way. High expectations, strong talent density, and a culture where what counts is your ambition, output, and initiative — not your background or your ego. You'll grow at the edge of GenAI, take on real ownership and impact, and work alongside people who push you to improve every day. It's demanding, but it's also where we do our best work. On top of that:

• Compensation: Competitive salary and equity with real upside, so your success is tied directly to the company's.

• Flexibility: Remote-friendly working environment.

• Time off: Flexible PTO — take it when you need it — plus regular offsites and team events.
