Full Job Description
ABOUT US Lorikeet is redefining what customer support looks like — and we're just getting started. We build AI that handles complex, high-volume support for fintechs, healthtechs, marketplaces, and delivery services. Not chatbot-tier AI. The kind that actually resolves tickets, gives support teams their time back, and raises the bar for what software can do. We're backed by over $50M USD from QED, Blackbird, and Square Peg, with backing from operators like Claire Hughes Johnson (ex-Stripe COO) and Cristina Cordova (Linear COO), plus founders of Canva, Atlassian, and Airwallex.

ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring Lorikeet's first dedicated Founder's Office Associate — a role that sits at the centre of how our founders operate and scale their impact. The Founder's Office works directly alongside our Co-Founder & CEO and Chief of Staff to advance the highest-priority projects for the company. You'll work on high-stakes, glamorous problems and unglamorous work that requires high diligence, high judgement, and high grind — but with unlimited scope for impact and access to AI tooling to help you operate at a higher level. At leading tech startups, the strongest operators started as sharp generalists — often from consulting or entrepreneurial backgrounds — who embedded with founders, took on whatever the business needed, and built deep context along the way. Many went on to build entire functions and teams. That's the opportun
