🚀 Founder\’s Associate: Work Directly with a Proven Sales Leader (Shoreditch + Travel)

Location: Shoreditch, London (Onsite + European/US Travel)

Compensation: Competitive base + Fast-track progression options

Tipped is not your average recruitment company.

We’re ex-SaaS sales operators (Optimizely, TikTok, etc.) who believe the best way to run a talent business is by hiring people who’ve actually done the job. We’ve flipped the recruitment model on its head — and now we’re looking for a Founder\’s Associate to help scale the company alongside our founder (that’s me).

🧠 What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be my right hand. No two days are the same — and that’s the point. You’ll be exposed to the real inner workings of scaling a business. Expect chaos, speed, mentorship, and an accelerated career track.

1. Business Development & Execution

• Work directly with me on prospecting and outreach using the latest tools and playbooks.
• Learn the art of high-level enterprise sales (I was VP Sales at Optimizely and ran TikTok\’s EU sales team).
• Join me at top-tier events across the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Barcelona, and the US.

2. Strategy & Team Execution

• Be a strategic sounding board for company-defining decisions.
• Help shape and steer a lean, high-performance team as we scale fast.

3. Brand & Marketing

• Assist with creating content, short-form video, and social growth campaigns.
• Be hands-on in building a standout brand in the recruitment and SaaS space.

4. CEO Projects & Execution

• Plan Presidents Club trips, build incentive schemes, run internal ops — you name it.
• Be a true force multiplier — a Swiss Army knife — for the founder.

🔥 What You’ll Get

• Daily 1:1 mentorship from the founder — learn commercial acumen, sales psychology, and how to run a company.
• Sales Coaching – learn how to be a world class seller, how to build your personal brand, how to position and present yourself and how to drive people to action.
• Huge exposure to a real entrepeneurial business with 4 employees. You\’ll learn everything from how I built the business to how I run day to day operations. This includes payroll, accounts, strategy, administration, providers and how I built a £1m+ business within 12 months from leaving my full paid employment.
• Yearly kick off trip (we\’ve done 4 yearly trips to Cape Town, South Africa so far.)
• Global travel with the founder
• Exposure to world class Software Companies & Venture Capital\’s
• This will be a mentorship like no other.

Progression Paths for the role:

• Progression path 1: Chief of Staff — evolve into the strategist behind the founder, helping scale across geographies and verticals.
• Progression path 2: Talent Partner — step into our 360 recruitment function and earn £100,000–£300,000+ annually, with top-tier support and tools.

🧬 Who You Are

• You have a degree from a highly rated university.
• You have a minimum of 2 years of experience in a commercial role
• Hungry, curious, and relentlessly resourceful.
• You thrive in fast-paced environments and are willing to commit fully.
• You’re articulate, coachable, and not afraid to roll your sleeves up.
• You want exposure, mentorship, and a front-row seat to building something big.

📍 What You Need to Know

• This is an onsite-first role in Shoreditch, with travel across Europe and the US.
• You’ll be working directly with me – expect high standards, high energy, and high learning.
• If you’ve ever wanted a masterclass in sales, business building and brand this is it.
