Founders Associate

About Us At Gonini (previously known as Bezos.ai), our vision is to Deliver Happiness - for our team, for end consumers, for the e-commerce brands we serve, and for our logistics partners. We're the fulfilment partner for scaling e-commerce brands: one platform and one team handling fulfilment across a global fulfilment network, spanning the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. We give growing brands enterprise-grade logistics without the enterprise-grade complexity. The way we scale that promise without scaling cost is AI - which is exactly what this role owns. We're a fast-moving, AI-native, Series A startup that will almost double our business in 2026. The Mission: What You Will Achieve You will work closely with the Founder-CEO as the person he hands the hardest, least-defined problems to - trusting you to run them to ground and come back with an answer or an outcome. One week you’re building the financial model that goes to the board; the next you’re standing up a new operational process, running a hiring search, or writing the memo that decides which market we enter next. Your mission is simple to state and hard to do: take work off the founder’s plate and make the company move faster. You will multiply the Founder-CEO across strategy, operations, finance, and hiring, spotting what’s falling through the cracks, owning it end-to-end, and either fixing it yourself or building the process (or hire) that fixes it for good. This is the role for someone who wants a front-row seat to how a company is actually built, and who earns their scope by delivering. This is a hands-on, high-trust, high-ownership seat in a startup. You’ll work directly alongside the Founder-CEO, learn the business from every angle, and use AI tools (including Claude) to out-work and out-analyse teams many times your size. Core Pillars of Success Own the founder’s priorities: Take the Founder-CEO’s most important, ambiguous problems and drive them to a decision or a done outcome, with minimal hand-holding. Analyse & decide: Build the models, the business cases, and the board/investor materials that turn a messy question into a clear recommendation. Bring the rigour, bring the answer. Execute across functions: Step into whatever needs an owner: operations, finance, hiring, a new product line, a partner negotiation - and run it until it’s stable enough to hand off. Build the machine: Turn one-off firefights into repeatable processes, playbooks, and AI-assisted workflows so the same problem doesn’t come back to the founder. Be a force multiplier: Give the Founder-CEO leverage: prep the meetings, drive the follow-ups, chase the loose ends, and make sure nothing important is dropped. In Your First 90 Days, You Will Learn the business end-to-end: the platform, the unit economics, the seller journey, and how every function actually runs Take full ownership of 2–3 problems the founder hands you, and drive each to a decision or a done outcome Build a piece of…
