About the Role

This is a high-impact, founder-facing role at an early-stage AI productivity startup, working directly alongside the founding team across product, go-to-market, and operations. You will act as a force multiplier for the founders, bridging technical judgment with cross-functional execution at a critical moment in the company's growth. It is an excellent launchpad for anyone with ambitions to found their own company.

What You'll Do

Partner directly with the founders on strategic and operational priorities across product, GTM, and day-to-day company execution.

Coordinate cross-functional initiatives to keep teams aligned and accelerate delivery.

Translate high-level strategic goals into concrete plans with clear owners and tight deadlines.

Support founder decision-making by supplying technical context and project-level insights.

Drive high-impact projects end-to-end, identifying and prioritizing what moves the company forward fastest.

Operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and adapt fluidly as priorities shift.

What We're Looking For

Strong technical background and solid CS fundamentals, through formal training or equivalent hands-on experience.

Demonstrated ability to translate strategy into concrete plans and deliver cross-functional initiatives under tight deadlines.

Excellent communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working directly with founders and small teams.

High stress tolerance and comfort with non-standard startup hours and shifting priorities.

Early-career profile, recently graduated or about to graduate, with a preference for equity-weighted compensation.

Bonus: genuine interest in branding, design, or social media channels.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary in the range of $55,000 to $80,000 USD annually , plus meaningful early-stage equity options (QESO, 0.15% to 0.50%). Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

On-site, full-time in Stockholm, Sweden . This is not a remote role; regular in-person presence is required.
