Founder's Associate

Responsibilities

• Drive delivery of GW-scale projects alongside our construction, procurement, and development teams, filling gaps so schedules hold.
• Own special projects end to end, from ambiguous brief to delivered result, including standing up new functions from zero and running them until handoff.
• Multiply the output of our engineering and technical leadership by removing blockers, handling logistics, and coordinating deployment and infrastructure tests.
• Support complex equity and project financing transactions alongside the founders, owning the workstreams they hand you.
• Help hire the team from junior roles to executives, and shape the culture the company scales with.
• Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty and run operational topics independently so the rest of the team stays focused on the project.
• Troubleshoot the problems each day brings, from finding a last-minute replacement supplier to driving to our West Texas site to resolve a contractor issue on the ground.

Qualifications

• Minimum 1-5 years of professional experience in high-performance environments such as startups, consulting, banking, engineering, the military, or a strong tech-adjacent generalist background.
• Very high agency and a track record of thriving in unclear, low-structure situations.
• Demonstrated ability to own and deliver complex projects end to end.
• Strong organization, sound judgment, and a bias for action.
• Clear, direct communication with engineers, executives, suppliers, and outside counterparties.
