About the Role

This is a high-impact, founder-facing role at an early-stage AI productivity startup, working directly alongside founding leadership across product, go-to-market, and operations. You will serve as a force multiplier for the founders, helping translate strategy into execution and keeping the most important initiatives moving. It is an excellent launchpad for aspiring founders who want broad, high-stakes exposure at a fast-growing company.

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

  • Drive high-impact, end-to-end projects, continuously re-prioritizing based on what moves the company forward fastest.

  • Operate effectively in a fast-paced environment and adapt fluidly as priorities shift.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong technical background with solid CS fundamentals, through formal training or equivalent practical experience.

  • Demonstrated track record of translating strategy into actionable plans and delivering cross-functional initiatives under pressure.

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, comfortable collaborating closely with founders and diverse teams.

  • High stress tolerance and a strong work ethic, comfortable with demands beyond a standard 9-to-5.

  • Recent graduate or early-career professional eager to grow quickly in a startup environment.

  • Willingness to be based in Stockholm and work fully on-site.

  • Bonus: interest in branding, design, or social channels.
