Founder's Associate

About Aries:

At Aries Global, we're driven by a singular ambition - to build one of the world's truly exceptional software groups. A high-performing culture where we're able to deliver transformative value to our group, and a place where every team member can demonstrate autonomous impact in a highly collaborative environment.

Our mission is simple: we don't just acquire companies - we build enduring, AI-native software platforms. We partner with founders who have built great products and help them unlock their next chapter through our AI-native operating system, centralised GTM engine, and world-class execution capabilities.

We bring together exceptional operators, product builders, and leaders - people who insist on the highest standards and excel in a culture of fast pace, focused execution, and deep ownership. In return, you'll experience extraordinary growth, meaningful impact from day one, and a career trajectory far steeper than you thought possible.

The Role:

• Work hands-on across strategy, product, hiring, GTM, and group operations, acting as a direct extension of the Founders & Chief of Staff.
• Break down high-level strategic objectives into actionable plans and drive execution across commercial, marketing, finance, operations, and product teams.
• Lead 0-to-1 initiatives and critical cross-functional projects end-to-end: opportunity sizing, scoping, execution, stakeholder management, and delivery at speed.
• Drive operational optimisation by identifying inefficiencies, implementing process improvements, and using data to measure impact.
• Build leverage for leadership by preparing decision-ready materials for founders, investors, and board discussions.
• Support talent acquisition and org build-out: role design, candidate research, interview processes, and closing top operators.
• Provide hands-on, ad-hoc support to the Founder and leadership team, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and high-stakes initiatives.

What We’re Looking For:

Exceptional Operator

Experience in a fast-paced environment such as a startup, scale-up, investment firm, consulting role, or operating team. You’ve worked close to decision-makers and are comfortable across strategy, operations, and execution.

Execution Excellence

Highly organised, detail-driven, and dependable under pressure. You can juggle multiple priorities, stakeholders, and deadlines without losing momentum or quality.

Ownership Mentality

You take responsibility end-to-end, anticipate what’s needed next, and operate with minimal supervision. You care deeply about outcomes, follow-through, and building things that last.

Strong Communication & Judgment

Clear, structured communicator – written and verbal – with strong judgment around prioritisation, trade-offs, and operating in high-trust, high-stakes environments.

Process & Systems Mindset

You naturally think in plans, workflows, and operating rhythms, and are motivated to improve how work gets done through better structure, tooling, data, and automation.

Ambition & Growth Orientation

You set a high bar for yourself, want to grow fast, and are excited to operate in a demanding, founder-led environment with exposure far beyond a traditional role.

Opportunity to Convert

This role is designed as a high-impact entry point, with a clear opportunity to convert into a long-term role based on performance, ownership, and impact.

Culture:

High standards. Low ego. Direct feedback. Fast execution. Real accountability.

We value people who care deeply about the craft and the outcome.

Why Join Aries:

• Unmatched talent density - be amongst and learn from the brightest.
• High-trust, high-autonomy environment with real ownership - exposure you won’t get anywhere else.
• A growth curve far steeper than you thought possible
• A company with global reach, meaningful work, and potential for long-term growth.

We set a high bar. We hire carefully. We invest heavily in those who clear it.
