The role
The Founder Associate is the founders' right hand: you take anything on their desk and get it done, end to end. You report directly to the co-founders and sit in every room that matters: board prep, investor calls, government meetings, deal reviews.
Location: Amman, with regular travel across the region.
Type: Full-time.
Scope
- Strategy and Finance - Build and maintain models and analysis that inform founder decisions; support strategic planning and budgeting.
- Company collateral - Own decks, one-pagers, proposals and presentation materials.
- Reporting - Prepare and coordinate communications and follow-ups.
- Internal Orchestration - meetings, priorities and action tracking cross-team.
- Special Projects - Lead high-priority, time-bound projects from scoping to delivery.
- Stakeholders - Own and support relationships across partners.
Must-haves
- 2 to 5 years in management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, private equity, or a strategy or BizOps role at a high-growth startup.
- Strong financial modelling in Excel or Google Sheets. You can build a three-statement model from scratch.
- Exceptional writing and slide-making. Your first drafts read like final drafts.
- High ownership and speed. You close loops without being chased.
- Fluent English and Arabic, written and spoken.
