Founders Associate

Who We Are

Rillet’s pace is not for everyone. Intelligence is table stakes. To succeed here, you need extreme speed, agency, and flexibility. Successful Rilleteers do not wait for assignments. They internalize a mission, design a strategy, and bring back results that are better, faster, and more creative than a manager could have asked for. Work revolves around our customers. Successful Rilleteers are energized by delivering the most important things, even those that weren’t in the original plan.

Who We Need

Rillet is looking for a Founders' Associate to work directly with the CEO and Chief of Staff. You will be the connective tissue that keeps high-priority work moving — spotting roadblocks early, solving them before they escalate, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. You will operate across a wide range of workstreams simultaneously, supporting the Chief of Staff with analytical horsepower on strategic projects, helping design and improve internal processes, and supporting the CEO day-to-day from drafting communications to making sure key initiatives reach completion.

What You'll Do

• Own Claude at Rillet – become our internal Claude expert. You will build and deploy AI automations and workflows using Claude, starting with the CEO and Chief of Staff, and rolling them out across the organization.
• Track progress on key initiatives on behalf of the CEO – proactively flagging risks, identifying roadblocks early, and ensuring the right people are unblocked and moving forward
• Prepare internal and external communications on behalf of the founders, including investor updates and board materials
• Apply analytical horsepower across all functions to generate insights that drive decisions – whether that's modeling sales efficiency in GTM, analyzing retention trends in Customer Experience, building headcount plans in HR, or stress-testing unit economics in Finance
• Project-manage initiatives that span multiple stakeholders and require strong follow-through
• Serve as a connective layer across the organization — making sure decisions get made and nothing falls through the cracks

Who We're Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or a BizOps / strategy role at a high-growth startup
• Proficient with Claude, you have used it extensively and know how to get the most out of it
• A track record of delivering in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with minimal hand-holding
• Executional by nature
• Strong analytical skills: comfortable building models, interpreting data, and turning insights into action
• Exceptional written and verbal communication: you can draft a crisp investor update and a clear internal Slack message with equal ease
• Highly organized with sharp attention to detail, even when juggling multiple workstreams
• Low ego, high ownership
• Willingness to travel a few times per year for team offsites and company events
