Dex is an AI-powered talent agent matching exceptional software engineers with top tech companies. We’ve raised from a16z and Concept Ventures to build a new model for how talent and opportunity connect.

We are a small, highly driven team. We move fast, stay close to our customers and care deeply about doing things properly. We are building something that meaningfully changes how hiring works and we do not take that lightly.

A bit more about the role

This is not a static role. You will sit close to the CEO and Chief of Staff and work across almost every part of the business: ops, finance, sales, growth and marketing.

Your job is to help Dex run better, faster and more intelligently. No week will look the same. Some weeks will be calm and structured. Others will be reactive and messy. You will be expected to adapt and still deliver.

If you take ownership naturally, enjoy moving between strategy and execution and are comfortable operating in ambiguity, this could be a strong fit.

What you will do

You will help keep the engine running while also helping us build new parts of it. This will include a mix of:

Strategic execution

• Support high-priority initiatives such as fundraising, international expansion and new product launches
• Take ownership of ambiguous problems and move them forward without needing a full brief

Finance & operations

• Improve internal processes and day-to-day systems
• Build and maintain simple dashboards and workflows
• Support inbound and outbound sales activity
• Coordinate onboarding for new customers
• Keep CRMs and internal data clean and useful
• Help manage ongoing client relationships and assist with pitch and demo materials

Growth & marketing

• Support campaigns, content and events
• Help run 'Dex Sessions' and other community-led initiatives
• Contribute to how we tell the Dex story to candidates and customers

Data & reporting

• Track key KPIs and support weekly and monthly reporting
• Turn messy data into insights the team can actually use

What we are looking for

We care more about how you think and operate than perfect experience.

You will likely be someone who

• Has strong academic and professional foundations
• Takes initiative and does not wait to be told what to do
• Is structured and analytical, but pragmatic
• Can bring clarity to messy situations
• Communicates clearly in writing and verbally
• Learns quickly and adapts without ego

Helpful but not required

• Experience in an early-stage startup environment
• Experience in a role such as Founder’s Associate or similar operator position
• Background in consulting, investment banking, venture capital or related fields
• Proven ability to analyse large datasets and fluency in SQL
• Right to work in the UK is required
• We are unable to provide visa sponsorship

If the above sounds like you and you want to work at the centre of a fast-moving startup, we’d love to hear from you. Applying will take you to our careers page, where you can apply directly.
