Who are we and what on earth are we doing?

Our team

AI enables small teams to achieve incredible things: building wonderful products, and huge businesses. We’re doing the same.

We’re building the most talent-dense team in Europe. We’ve got impressive track records, but Jack & Jill will be the defining achievement of our careers.

What are we doing?

Imagine a world where every person is in their optimal job – doing their best work, fulfilled and impactful – and every company has the optimal people working for them, driving innovation and success. We’re a long, long way from that today.

It’s ridiculous that processes so fundamental to our lives and companies are this terrible.

It isn't a problem that can be solved by adding AI to existing workflows. We need to think from first principles about what is possible with today and tomorrow’s technologies.

Meet Jack & Jill

Jack is an AI that gets to know you deeply, what you’re great at and what you want out of your career. He then works to make that a reality – finding the best fit public job listings as they come up, supporting with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

He also works together with his partner Jill to find off-market opportunities and introduce you directly to companies, just like a recruiter would.

Jill is an AI that spends time with hiring managers and talent teams to really understand their company, their open roles, and who will thrive there. She works with Jack to find great fit people, like a headhunter with 1000x the network.

Jack & Jill will not just disrupt the existing recruitment software market, but also the 10x bigger recruitment services market (e.g. agency recruiters).

You can chat to Jack here.

We’re moving at breakneck speed

We’re just over 3 months old, we’ve built two remarkable products, have thousands of users, paying customers and a spectacular early team. The technology is ready and 10x better than the status quo – we need to build and execute at a relentless speed to build on this early momentum and bring it to the world as fast as we can.

We have thousands of users having incredible experiences with Jack & Jill:

Who are we looking for?

We’re looking for a Founding Operator to join our Founder's Office. You won't be in a box. You'll be a force multiplier for the entire company, working directly with the CEO to solve our highest-leverage challenges and turn ambitious ideas into reality in hours, not weeks.

We’re aiming to build one of the fastest growing companies of all time, and as such, the needs of the company change weekly. One week you’ll need to swarm on running a process manually, before automating it and moving onto the next fire.

While we're open to exceptional people from any background, we've found that people who thrive in this role often have a specific DNA. You could be an ex-founder who knows the startup grind, an aspiring founder looking to learn from a world-class team, a former tier-1 consultant with some startup operating experience, or a high-performing Founders Associate ready for more ownership.

Our Operating Approach:

Mindset: First-principles thinking, extreme ownership, intellectual honesty.
Method: You diagnose problems, build v1 solutions manually, then automate and scale.

You’ll be a great fit if:

You're a high-agency, 'full-stack' problem solver. You have the raw intelligence to get to the core of any problem, fast. You can flex seamlessly from high-level strategy to rolling up your sleeves and executing with no-code tools, a spreadsheet, or just sheer grit. You don't need a playbook; you find a way to get it done.

You're an ambitious overachiever. You have a history of holding yourself to an exceptionally high bar and excelling, whether academically, professionally, or personally. You are driven by a desire to be part of an elite team doing career-defining work.

You are a low-ego team player and a great communicator. We believe a small team of A-players is exponentially more than the sum of its parts. You communicate with clarity, and you understand that we only win together. You make the people around you better.

You are an AI power user. You're not just curious about AI; you actively use it to 10x your own output and are constantly experimenting with new tools and workflows. You believe, as we do, that AI enables small, elite teams to achieve extraordinary things.

This role isn't for you if:

️ You want a predictable 9-to-5. We are building an extremely ambitious company at lightspeed. The work is intense and demanding. While we value your life outside of work, we are a team that does what it takes to win, and that often means working long and hard.

You need a highly-structured environment. We are in the ambiguous, chaotic, and thrilling phase of 0-to-1. You will be creating the structure, not operating within it. If you need a manager to tell you what to do, this is not the right place for you.

You think some work is beneath you. There is no room for ego. One day you'll be building an investor deck, the next you'll be doing manual data entry to unblock a customer. We all do the unglamorous work required to succeed.

We’re working in-person at the Entrepreneurs First offices in London, so you’ll be surrounded by builders!

And there’s also the perks…

We’re building a high-performance environment. You’ll work hard, and we want to clear your plate to make sure that you have everything you need to be able to perform at your very best!
