Original Beschreibung
## Founder Associate (gn) - full-time @ SpaceTech Venture, Lausanne (CH)
We’re looking for a **Founder Associate** to work directly with the CEO—driving fundraising, owning critical deliverables, and tackling high-stakes strategic problems. You’ll operate at the nerve center of a venture pushing the edge of space tech.
This role is for someone who thrives under pressure and performs at a high level. You’ve likely seen that bar before—whether in VC, consulting, or a similarly intense environment—and you’re looking for more meaning and velocity. You’re confident with numbers and comfortable around hardware. A STEM degree is your foundation; speed and clarity are your edge.
**What You’ll Do**
* Lead strategic fundraising work—pitch prep, financial models, grant writing, and investor engagement.
* Take full ownership of R&D and grant applications—craft proposals, present, and drive them home.
* Analyze trade-offs across technical, legal, and commercial issues. Deliver clear, actionable recommendations.
* Structure information and turn ambiguity into insight—fast.
**What We’re Looking For**
* Top-tier analytical and execution skills—honed in high-performance environments (VC, consulting, etc.).
* STEM degree required. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you must speak the language.
* Fluent in Excel, PowerPoint, and strategic communication.
* Strong written and verbal communicator. English required. French is a plus.
* Self-directed, intellectually curious, and relentlessly reliable.
**What You’ll Get**
* A front-row role in building one of Europe’s most ambitious space ventures.
* Full exposure to the strategic, financial, and operational heartbeat of the company.
* Autonomy, speed, and the chance to grow into a leadership role.
* A team that values sharp thinking, high standards, and bold execution.
**What We Value**
**Bold Vision** – We challenge the status quo and pursue ideas that push the limits of what’s possible in space.
**Operational Precision** – Excellence is non-negotiable. We sweat the details and deliver with discipline.
**Ownership & Accountability** – We take full responsibility for our work, decisions, and outcomes.
**Learning Mindset** – Curiosity drives us. We learn fast and grow faster.
