Company
A1 is building a proactive AI smart assistant for everyday users to bring intelligence to conversations, errands, organising and workflows.
Our product focuses on achieving high reliability for long-running workflows, persistent context, and real-world task completion. The system must handle multi-step reasoning, interact with external tools, and remain reliable despite non-deterministic model behavior.
Role
You will operate as an extension of the Founder, turning ideas into execution across hiring, partnerships, fundraising, and market entry. This role tackles the highest-priority initiatives — from shaping US expansion to closing key hires and building the company’s first operating systems. The scope is intentionally broad.
We’re looking for someone fast, dependable, and able to operate independently in ambiguity.
What You'll be Doing
Work directly with the Founder to drive US market entry - from early strategy to hands-on execution
Build and execute initial hiring plans - source, engage, and close high-caliber talent
Support fundraising efforts - prepare materials, coordinate investor conversations, and follow through
Help establish A1’s presence in the US - including office setup, vendors, and operating structure
Drive external positioning - support PR, partnerships, and key relationships
Turn ambiguous ideas into clear plans, and ensure they get executed
Act as a central operator across teams - tracking priorities, resolving bottlenecks, and pushing progress
Handle high-urgency, unstructured problems with speed and sound judgment
What You Will Need
Background in consulting (MBB), top-tier VC, startups, or high-performance operating roles
Strong generalist - able to switch between strategy, hiring, operations, and execution
High agency - does not wait for instructions, figures things out and moves
Strong judgment - able to prioritize what matters and make decisions with incomplete information
Clear and concise communication - comfortable working with senior stakeholders and external partners
High reliability - consistently follows through and delivers
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment
