Founder Associate
We're hiring a Founder Associate / Founding Sales to work directly with Craft's founders on the highest-leverage problems facing the company. This is a generalist seat for someone with high agency, ambition, uncommon judgment, deep curiosity, and the ability to context-switch across wildly different problem types in a single week.
One day you're modeling the ROI for a new customer. The next you're cold calling VPs of Sales. The day after you're traveling to visit a customer and do ride-alongs with their field team or run the logistics for a trade show. You won't specialize, you'll go wherever the most important unsolved problem is.
This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants to compress years of operating experience into months by working at the center of gravity of a fast-scaling company.
What You'll Do
- Be the founders' force multiplier
- Get on the phone with prospects — cold calls, outreach, follow-ups
- Assist GTM operations and iterating on GTM playbooks
- Build new functions from 0 → 1 — when Craft needs something that doesn't exist yet (a process, a team, a system), you'll be the person who figures out what good looks like and stands it up.
- Navigate ambiguity with confidence — you won't get detailed briefs or clear swim lanes. You'll get context, constraints, and trust
Who You Are
- School and pedigree don't matter. We are hiring for hunger, high-agency, curiosity, and slope
- Strong communicator - sharp in writing, comfortable on the phone, concise in a board room
- AI-native - you already use AI tools daily
- You are an ex-founder or future-founder
- Generalist by nature
- Competitive - you've been a top performer whether it's sports, sales internship, academics, arts, or video games - it doesn't matter. You are hungry to win
What Won't Work
- You need clearly defined roles to feel comfortable
- You can't be in NYC for at least the summer
- You prioritize perfection over speed
