We're looking for fantastic people to join us

Founders Associate

‍As a Founder Associate, you’ll work closely with our founders to run and grow AIConfident. This is a varied and fast-paced role, spanning operations, business development and client delivery. You’ll get exposure to every part of the business, from implementing internal processes, building new service lines or helping us win new clients and partnerships. We want somebody who can grow with the business - particularly spotting processes to automate so you can spend your time on more interesting and complex tasks.
‍
We’re looking for somebody with 1-3 years experience and keen to develop and grow in your role, rather than having deep experience from the outset. You’ll thrive in this role if you are looking to learn, are excited by a mix of strategic thinking and hands-on execution, and want to ensure AI is reshaping organisations and society for the better.
‍
‍To apply for this role, please send your CV and cover letter, including how you've used AI in your application, to catriona@aiconfident.co.uk.

- Implement and manage tools to improve productivity across the team (e.g., AI tools, Zapier, Hubspot, and project management platforms);
- We want you to responsibly automate parts of your job, so you can spend more time working on things that excite you with your unique human skills.

‍
Nice-to-haves:
- Exposure to AI technologies or a keen interest in developing expertise in this space;
- Experience in improving business operations, particularly through automation;

AI in the recruitment process
- We expect candidates will likely consider using generative AI tools during the recruitment process, and are supportive of you doing so responsibly;
- When used well, AI tools can enhance your application or make it easier to complete. But they can also lose the uniqueness that may make you perfect for this job. Please remember that we are keen to understand what makes you, you.
- In your application please outline how and why you’ve used, or chosen not to use, generative AI tools. We expect candidates to demonstrate thoughtful, responsible uses of AI tools.
