# AI-Native Founder's Associate

**Clera** · San Francisco

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/03f53965-1b33-4c25-8181-d355e0dd963f

## About Clera

Stop applying to startups. Start getting introduced. Clera connects you directly with hiring managers at the companies you want to work for.

## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a core operator role working directly with the CEO of a fast-growing AI-powered consumer health and e-commerce company. You will own high-impact projects end-to-end across operations, growth, and finance, with immediate visibility and real responsibility from day one. It is designed as a launchpad into senior leadership for someone who thrives in a no-bureaucracy, high-intensity environment.

##### What You'll Do

- Partner with the CEO to turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into structured analyses, decisions, and execution plans.

- Support day-to-day operations across fulfillment, customer experience, supply chain coordination, and internal workflows.

- Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, then design and build AI-driven solutions to remove them.

- Use AI to scan the market for new products and ingredients, turning signals into a prioritized sourcing pipeline.

- Build automated supplier discovery, qualification, and outreach workflows that operate at scale.

- Design AI-assisted negotiation workflows for pricing, minimum order quantities, and terms, taking deals from first contact to signature.

- Support growth initiatives across marketing, experimentation, and performance tracking.

- Develop financial models, dashboards, and reporting tools grounded in real unit economics.

- Leverage AI, automation, and low-code tools to replace manual effort with scalable systems across all functions.

- Own ad-hoc, high-priority projects and move fluidly between strategy and execution as needed.

##### What We're Looking For

- Degree from a top-tier university in engineering, science, math, business, or a related field.

- Hands-on experience building AI-powered systems, automation workflows, or low-code solutions that delivered measurable business outcomes (e.g., Make, Zapier, n8n, Claude API, or equivalent).

- Technical fluency: engineering or science backgrounds must show applied AI and automation experience; business backgrounds must demonstrate self-taught coding or equivalent technical capability.

- Experience as a startup operator or in a comparable autonomous, early-stage environment.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving ability spanning operations, growth, and finance.

- Experience building financial models, dashboards, or business intelligence tools for forecasting or performance analysis.

- Familiarity with operational analysis, process optimization, or supply chain workflows across fulfillment, sourcing, or logistics.

- Experience conducting market research, supplier discovery, or vendor evaluation and negotiation.

- High agency: you spot problems, take ownership, and execute without waiting for instructions.

- A genuine interest in physical operations, consumer products, or functional nutrition is a strong plus.

- Experience with growth analysis, A/B testing, or marketing analytics is a bonus, as is a passion for content creation and storytelling.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: **$120,000 to $140,000 USD annually.** Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

##### Location

On-site, five days per week in **San Francisco, California**. This is a high-collaboration role requiring full-time in-office presence; remote or hybrid arrangements are not available.
