Founding · Reports to the CEO

Be the connective tissue of a founding team — run the operating cadence, unblock the founders, and let agents handle the admin while you handle the judgment calls.

01

About Sagaris

For twenty years, revenue software has been a filing cabinet with a login. It remembered everything and did nothing — while the people it was built for spent their evenings typing what happened into seven different tools.

SAGARIS is one brain across CRM, calls, texts and social, staffed by agents you govern. It reads the whole conversation, acts on it, and keeps a record you can stand behind: supervised or auto per agent, approval gates where you want them, an audit trail on everything. Ambition with a paper trail.

02

About the role

Early companies live or die on execution, and execution lives in the gaps between people. The Founder's Associate is the person who owns those gaps: the cadence, the follow-through, the thousand small decisions that keep a founding team moving fast without dropping things.

This is a high-trust, high-exposure role. You'll work directly with the founders across everything — operations, hiring, GTM support, special projects — and you'll use SAGARIS itself to let agents carry the admin while you carry the judgment. It's the fastest way in the company to learn how the whole thing works.

03

What you'll do

  • Own the operating cadence: planning, priorities, follow-through, and the meetings that make them real.
  • Unblock the founders — take whole problems off their plate and close them.
  • Run special projects end to end, from hiring logistics to GTM support to internal tooling.
  • Build the lightweight systems and processes an early team needs, and no more than that.
  • Use SAGARIS internally — let agents handle the busywork; you handle the calls that need a human.
04

What we're looking for

  • You're exceptionally organised and finish what you start, without being chased.
  • You've operated in a high-ambiguity, high-ownership environment and thrived.
  • Strong judgment — you know what matters, what can wait, and when to escalate.
  • Clear, fast written communication.
  • You want breadth and proximity to how a company is built, not a narrow lane.
05

Nice to have

  • Startup, founding-team, consulting, or chief-of-staff experience.
  • Enough technical comfort to work with modern software tools and light automation.
  • A track record of quietly making messy things orderly.
06

What success looks like

  • In 3 months: the founders trust you with whole problems and the operating cadence runs itself.
  • In 6 months: several projects have shipped that wouldn't have without you owning them.
  • In 12 months: you've grown into an area of real ownership as the company has grown.
07

Why join Sagaris

We're small, early, and building in the open with a founding cohort of customers who shape the roadmap. That means real ownership, a short line between your work and the people it's for, and the chance to set patterns the company will use for years.

We hire people who hate busywork and would rather build the thing that ends it. If that's you, you'll have room to do the best work of your career here.

08

How we work

  • Remote-first, with deliberate in-person offsets for the work that's better in a room.
  • Small team, high trust, low process — we add structure only when the absence of it hurts.
  • We write things down. Decisions have a paper trail, so context isn't trapped in someone's head.
  • We ship, learn from real customers, and change our minds in public.
09

Benefits & working style

  • Meaningful founding equity, with a real stake in what you help build.
  • Top-of-band cash compensation. We don't ask you to trade salary for story.
  • Remote-first with deliberate in-person offsites; we optimise for deep work, not attendance.
  • A hardware and home-office budget, plus whatever software makes you faster.
  • Comprehensive health coverage and a genuinely respected time-off policy.
  • Direct access to the founders and an outsized say in the roadmap and the culture.
