FoundersAssociate

FOUNDERS ASSOCIATE Sydney, Hybrid Haast just closed a $12M Series A backed by Peak XV Partners, DST Global, and Airtree. If the best part of your consulting career has been solving the hardest problems in the room, but you're tired of handing off the deck and watching from a distance, this is where you step in.   ABOUT HAAST We aren't experimenting with AI. We're shipping one of the first enterprise-grade agentic platforms for legal and compliance teams, and it's already in production with global enterprises. In two years: compliance review times cut by 80%. Productivity up 4x. 4.5x revenue growth. Design has Canva. Projects have Atlassian. Compliance has Haast. We're targeting a $50B global market and are in the early stages of US expansion, with strong ANZ enterprise traction already behind us.   WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS We're a small, fast-moving team and the founders are still deeply in the work. As we scale, we need someone who can sit alongside leadership, take the ambiguous problems off their plate, and drive them to a resolution.   This isn't a chief-of-staff coordination role. It's a strategic operating role for someone who can diagnose what's broken, design the fix, and own execution end-to-end. You'll move across every function: Sales, Customer Success, Product, Finance, and GTM. Some problems will be simple fix. Some will reshape how we operate forever.   WHAT YOU'LL OWN Strategy & Planning - Work directly with the founders on OKR setting, business planning, and GTM strategy as we scale into the US - Drive board and investor-level reporting; synthesise performance data into clear strategic recommendations Diagnosis & Execution - Jump into high-priority operational problems across Sales, CS, Product, and Finance on sprint cycles of two to four weeks - Identify root causes, not just symptoms; bring a solution with a point of view, not a list of options Operating Infrastructure - Build the playbooks and processes that let us scale without accumulating operation
