Platter is a digital platform that helps food businesses run more efficiently — bringing buyers, suppliers, orders and data into one hub, and automating the manual admin (order processing, account updates, invoicing) that slows teams down. Built on real-time data and AI.
We're hiring a Founder Associate to work directly with me across the whole business. This is a broad, hands-on role for a generalist who's strong in product and AI.
Three things you’ll own:
- Internal flow — improving how we operate across the business, building solutions and automations that make a lean team move faster.
- Product — taking the lead on product alongside me: shaping what we build, translating real customer needs into what ships.
- Customers — leading onboarding and building solutions directly with our customers.
You’ll probably fit if you:
- Have ~12 months in an early/growth-stage startup
- Are a genuine generalist — comfortable moving between product, ops and customer work
- Have real hands-on experience with AI tools and building things (not just using them)
- Can take an ambiguous problem and turn it into something shipped
- Communicate clearly and take initiative without waiting to be told
The details:
- Full-time 2–3 days/week in office, Old Street, London
- Direct access to founders and real ownership from day one
- This is for someone who wants impact and upside in an early-stage business with real product-market fit and paying customers — not a job title.
