About Nearby AI: Nearby AI is a new company from NewsBreak building a trust-first marketplace for local home services. We help homeowners understand a problem, what it should reasonably cost, and whether to hire at all before they are connected to a provider, and we help service providers win work on fit and outcomes rather than on speed of contact. Our mission: give people clarity and control from the first sign of a problem to a job done right, and give good contractors work they are equipped to win. We are a small founding team. We work from evidence, keep a written record of decisions, and hold a short set of product principles we do not trade for revenue: no pay-for-rank, no sharing of customer contact information beyond what the customer approved, and no quality claims we cannot substantiate.
About the role
Nearby AI is a company being built from its first months. The work that matters most right now is done by phone, in spreadsheets, in draft copy, and in conversations with customers and service professionals. Founding Associates work directly with the founding team on the marketing and operational groundwork of a new marketplace, and are measured on what they get done. There are two tracks. You choose a primary track when you apply, and strength on either one is what we are looking for. Every associate spends part of the program on the other track so the cohort learns both sides of the business.
Responsibilities
