Founder Associate

Lagos, NG / Remote, NG Full-Time

About the role

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, multi-talented individual who wants to see the inside of a fast-moving startup and work closely with the founders. The ideal candidate is a future entrepreneur or executive who is willing to work hard and do a wide variety of non-glamorous tasks for a year or two to get their foot in the door, learn, and make connections. You will: work directly with Curacel’s CEO and co-founders, with the simple goal of saving them time. Which means: The level of work you’ll do is only limited by your capabilities. Are you capable of Designing a presentation? Researching a market? Creating a financial model? Great, as long as you’re also willing to make copies and run errands. Essentially, you should be overqualified to be an assistant, but not have a problem doing assistant-like tasks. In exchange, you’ll get unique visibility into a unique company, a great learning experience, and the chance to move on to do many other things (on Twitter, or elsewhere—with a strong endorsement). Requirements:

Minimum of 2-3 years of experience in being a Founder's associate or similar role.
Ownership: The goal for this role is to do whatever it takes to keep our founders laser-focused on company growth by removing and unblocking any distractions. As such, this role involves heavy collaboration with the founders but also requires an ownership mindset.
Attention to detail: You’re extremely organized, with a knack for noticing and remembering details.
Proactiveness: Identify things that need to be done and resolve them without being told to.
Excellent persuasive, interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks.
Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
Have a good knowledge of G Suite's collaboration tools.
Have provided administrative and logistical support for startup founders, leadership or executives.
