Job description

About The Flex

At The Flex, we’re on a mission to make renting a home as easy as buying on Amazon — fast, seamless, and borderless.

Our proprietary Property Management System (PMS) is transforming how tenants live and how landlords manage properties — simplifying everything from bookings to operations, all without excessive fees.

We’re building a small, elite team of A-Players who move fast, think independently, and execute relentlessly. If you’re ambitious, hungry to learn, and eager to help build a global company from the inside — this is your chance.

Role Overview

As Founder’s Associate, you’ll act as the right hand to the Founder & CEO, helping drive execution across all areas of the business — from operations and strategy to product, growth, and expansion.

This is a founder-track role for someone who wants to learn how to build and scale a company firsthand. You’ll gain exposure to every function, lead critical projects, and help transform ideas into real-world results.

Key Responsibilities

• Execution Partner: Work directly with the Founder to plan, prioritize, and execute high-impact initiatives across all departments.
• Strategic Projects: Own special projects in operations, technology, partnerships, and growth.
• Research & Analysis: Conduct market research, competitor benchmarking, and business analysis to support strategic decisions.
• Hiring & Team Support: Help recruit, onboard, and coordinate new team members.
• Operational Excellence: Improve internal processes, streamline communication, and ensure accountability across teams.
• Founder Enablement: Handle follow-ups, prepare briefings, and ensure key priorities move forward without bottlenecks.
• Expansion Support: Assist with new market launches, investor materials, and partnerships.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.
• Exceptional organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Highly adaptable — comfortable wearing multiple hats and switching contexts fast.
• Analytical and detail-oriented with a strong grasp of business fundamentals.
• Experience in startups, consulting, venture building, or real estate tech is a strong plus.
• Relentless curiosity, high ownership, and a bias for action.

Why Join The Flex

• Founder-level exposure: Work directly with the CEO on strategic projects.
• Hyper-growth environment: Learn the inner workings of a global startup.
• Real ownership: Lead initiatives that directly impact the company’s success.
• Fast-tracked career growth: Move into leadership roles as you prove yourself.
• Competitive compensation + performance-based incentives.
• Remote-first and results-driven culture.

Do Not Apply If

• You’re looking for a slow or comfortable 9–5.
• You prefer to be told what to do rather than figure things out.
• You dislike accountability or ambiguity.
• You’re not committed to becoming one of the best in your field.

We’re not just building a rental platform — we’re building the future of living. If you want to learn directly from a founder, execute at a global scale, and grow faster than you ever imagined — apply now.
