The Role

This is a role supporting the founders of Slingshot, a Series A startup based in NYC + London focused on building a foundation model for psychology. The goal of this job is to help the founders ensure the company is operating like a machine, and wearing different hats in the absence of specific functional leaders. This will be 40% special projects, 30% executive operations, and 30% focused on partnerships.

You will be:

• Helping make sure the trains run on time. Show up at 8:15am every day to prep for the day ahead and ensuring that anything that needs to be done each day gets escalated

• Helping with recruiting as a representative of the company; sourcing candidates, taking first calls as necessary, selling the company mission and vision

• Helping us implement things like OKRs/best-in-class project management as necessary

• Helping with strategic projects (eg. any time we need new offices, fundraising, legals, launch and GTM planning)

• Planning our offsites and team collaboration cadences in conjunction with our founder's associate - past offsites have been in Lisbon, Barcelona, and Nashville

• Strategic communication, both internal and external, including board materials and investor updates

• Work with our investor network to tap into the resources available to us

Your job is to:

• Be a force multiplier, but without creating politics. You break down silos, not create them. 

• Travel between NYC and London often to ensure our teams are aligned.

• Create organization out of a sense of chaos. You escalate areas we haven’t paid enough attention to, jumping in personally when needed.

• Build zero-to-one functions in the company that don’t currently exist (e.g. taking over growth marketing, partnerships).

• Optimize founders' schedules and time management, in conjunction with our founder's associate.

Requirements:

• 5-7 years of work experience, ideally including time at a Series A or B company

• Based in NYC

• Excellent communicator, especially in writing

Why you should take this job:

• You want direct exposure and mentoring from a founding team with a successful exit and track record (Neil scaled Casper through IPO)

• You want the ability to take on tasks you haven’t done before with a lot of responsibility (and trust, when earned)

• You want exposure to investors and partners and be recognized as a leader in the AI industry

• You care about our mission and are willing to do almost anything to help make it happen

Why you shouldn’t take this job:

• Hours are going to be intense

• Requires travel + occasional weekend prep work

• You need to be told what to do on a daily basis

• If you are disorganized
