[Hiring] Founder's Associate @Flex

Role Description

This is a new program and the chance to be part of the founding team of the Office of the CEO. We’re creating a small team of high-caliber operators working directly for our Founder & CEO on whatever the company’s highest-priorities are. It is not a rotational program or a fixed analyst lane — scope is set by what the company needs solved, not by a job description. You will be the one to help identify what these opportunities are.

What You'll Do

• Take on the CEO’s highest-priority problems directly — strategic projects, market research and competitive work, financial analysis, and cross-functional execution, often with no existing playbook.
• Identify problems, develop solutions, and execute them; often working on multiple initiatives.
• Build and own the models and analyses that inform major company decisions.
• Collaborate with and move fluidly across various departments as business priorities shift.
• As the early stages of this team grow, you will help recruit, ramp, and manage the associates who join after you.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in top-tier investment banking (TMT/fintech coverage), private equity, management consulting, late-stage venture capital, or a fast-growing startup.
• A track record of outperformance — clear signals you were trusted with more scope, faster, than your peers.
• Strong quantitative and analytical skills: advanced Excel, working knowledge of SQL, and comfort dissecting messy data and building models from scratch.
• Extreme rigor and comfort operating in ambiguity at speed — priorities here change faster than the plan does.
• Demonstrated ability to sustain a high-intensity pace: this role will regularly require ~12-hour days, 5–6 days a week, especially in year one.
• This role is based in Miami or NYC but will involve travel.

Nice to Haves

• Ideal background in math, physics, or another highly quantitative field.
• Understanding of fintech, banking, or financial infrastructure.

Compensation

• $200,000 - $200,000 a year.
• The starting base salary for this role is $200k+ equity. This is a full-time role with benefits. Final compensation is commensurate with candidate experience, work location, and interview performance.

Why Join Us

• Build something generational — Capture the full lifecycle of money for ambitious business owners.
• Work on real money, real risk — Payments, credit, and banking at serious scale.
• Solve hard problems — AI, underwriting, compliance, and global finance from first principles.
• True ownership — Small teams, high trust, real accountability.
• Founder-level exposure — Direct access to leadership, customers, and investors.
• High bar, high taste — Move fast without cutting corners.
• Elite peers — People here are builders, not tourists.
• Real upside — Meaningful equity if you help build something big.
