The Role
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, multi-talented individual who wants to see the inside of a fast-paced scale-up and work closely with the co-founders and senior team. The ideal candidate is a superstar who is willing to work hard, roll up their sleeves and support the founders in their day-to-day tasks, while learning about every aspect of what it takes to run a fast growing business.
You will work directly with Encord's senior team and get unique visibility into an exciting, high-growth, mission-based scale-up.
What you'll do
Work directly with the co-founders and other members of the senior team on a variety of projects and tasks: from presentations and spreadsheets, to basic reporting and various growth initiatives
Research: ranging from customer research to identifying new opportunities to supporting strategic decisions
Track the ROI of various growth channels to improve resource allocation and identify new growth curves
Design, release, and improve a careers page to attract the next wave of Encord talent
Ensure we keep our start-up atmosphere as we scale: plan and coordinate activities and events (e.g. team outings, in-office events)
Be an integral part in growing the business — support Encord's presence on social media, conferences, and more

Who we're looking for
A do-er with a founder's mentality — comfortable rolling up your sleeves for anything from an internal slide deck to a client demo, and energised by building something from the ground up
You take end-to-end ownership of broad, ambiguous problems and think from first principles to get to a result — without needing hand-holding
Obsessed with outcomes: you work best when given a goal and the autonomy to find a way there, iterating scrappily and resourcefully until it's done
Entrepreneurial and comfortable context-switching rapidly — a candidate interview, an Excel model, and a vision-pitch draft might all land in the same afternoon
Detail-oriented and proactively communicative — your team is always up to date, things rarely slip, and you're already thinking three steps ahead
Experience requirements
2+ years in a high-intensity, high-velocity environment — early-stage startup (founding team or first 20 employees), top-tier management consulting, investment banking, private equity, or a similarly demanding, execution-focused setting
Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous brief, structure the problem, and drive it to a high-quality output end-to-end
Strong analytical and quantitative skills — comfortable building Excel or Google Sheets models, analysing product usage data, tracking growth metrics, and drawing actionable conclusions from numbers
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce polished decks, memos, and external-facing materials quickly and to a high standard
Proven track record of managing multiple workstreams simultaneously without dropping the ball
Bonus: prior exposure to B2B SaaS or AI/ML; experience supporting a founder or C-suite executive directly; familiarity with GTM functions such as marketing, sales ops, or customer success
What we offer
Competitive salary, commission, and equity in a hyper-growth business
Strong in-person culture: most of our team is in the office 3+ days a week
Generous holiday allowance + public holidays
Annual learning and development budget
Paid trips to visit prospects, attend conferences, and host events across the UK, Europe, and US
Company lunches twice a week
Monthly socials & bi-annual off-sites
