Founder's Associate

Argus AI is an intelligence startup. We help governments, campaigns, institutions, and high-profile individuals understand what millions of people are thinking, feeling, and mobilising around in real time — before it shows up in polls, headlines, or unrest.

Our platform combines:

• Large-scale social media data ingestion
• Advanced sentiment and narrative analysis
• Early warnings for a variety of crisis scenarios
• Synthetic focus groups and demographic-level insight

This is not a dashboard business. We are building decision-grade intelligence for high-stakes environments.

The Role: We're looking for a Founder's Associate to work directly with the founder across every major function of the business. This is a generalist, high-trust role designed for someone who wants deep exposure to how a company is built from the ground up.

What You'll Do:

You'll be involved across all core areas of the company, including:

Growth & Marketing

• Help create and manage social media content (especially LinkedIn, X, short-form video)
• Assist with messaging, positioning, and marketing experiments
• Support outbound campaigns and partnerships

Sales & Business Development

• Help identify and research prospective clients
• Support outreach, follow-ups, and CRM organisation
• Sit in on sales calls and help refine pitch materials

Operations

• Assist with day-to-day operations, scheduling, and internal organisation
• Support basic accounting, invoicing, and expense tracking
• Coordinate with legal, accounting, and external providers when needed

Fundraising & Strategy

• Assist with investor research and outreach
• Help prepare pitch decks, one-pagers, and financial materials
• Conduct market, competitor, and strategic research for founder decisions

What We're Looking For:

• Highly organised, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Commercial instincts and interest in startups, technology, or consulting
• Comfortable juggling multiple workstreams at once
• Willing to take ownership and figure things out independently
• Able to work in the Central London office at least 3 days per week

Nice to have (but not required):

• Experience in startups, consulting, finance, marketing, or operations
• Familiarity with tools like Notion, Excel/Google Sheets, CRM tools, or design software
• Interest in AI, data, politics, media, or technology businesses

Why This Role?

• Work directly with the founder on real decisions, not busywork
• Broad exposure across marketing, sales, ops, and fundraising
• Rapid learning curve and significant responsibility
• Opportunity to grow into a more senior role as the company scales
