SUMMARY The Founder's Office at Dust https://dust.tt exists to increase the operating leverage of the company during a period of hypergrowth. This role is designed for high-agency problem solvers who want to work on the company's highest-priority initiatives. You'll operate across operations, GTM, recruiting, customer work, partnerships, and strategic projects, stepping into ambiguous situations and driving them forward with speed and judgment. Some projects may last a day. Others may become entire functions. You'll work closely with senior leadership, gain unusually high exposure to how a fast-growing AI company operates, and help scale the systems, processes, and decisions that matter most. This is not a traditional strategy role, and it is not an assistant role. We are looking for people who thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, take ownership naturally, and enjoy building where structure does not yet exist. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own high-priority initiatives that do not yet have a clear long-term owner - Drive cross-functional projects across operations, GTM, recruiting, partnerships, and customer work - Identify operational bottlenecks and help resolve them quickly and effectively - Improve how the company executes by building lightweight systems, processes, and operating cadences - Help leadership translate priorities and decisions into execution - Step into ambiguous situations, create structure quickly, and drive momentum - Operate with high context across the company and connect dots across teams - Take on increasing scope and ownership as the company scales Example Projects Projects may include: - launching a new operational or GTM motion - supporting strategic customer initiatives - improving recruiting and interview operations - coordinating executive offsites or field events - driving follow-through on company priorities - building internal systems that improve execution speed and visibility REQUIREMENTS Every candidate and employee's success is measured against the same 3 dimensions.
