Founding Operator @ Artificial Societies

London in-person full time | £60k - £80k salary | up to 0.3% equity

The Role

This is a founding operator role . We are hiring one person only . The bar is high.

This is not a traditional operations role. There is no fixed scope. You will work directly with the CEO and CPO to increase the output of the company - across anything required to make the machine run faster.

This role is about doing things that don’t scale . We’re looking for someone who is execution-first

• someone who gets things done quickly, takes ownership, and is willing to do whatever is required to create value.

You Should Be Comfortable

• Jumping into messy, undefined problems
• Doing manual, unglamorous work when needed
• Prioritising speed and impact over elegance
• Leveraging AI to 10x your output

Over time, you’ll improve and systemise what works — but only after you understand it deeply.

What You’ll Do

What We’re Looking For

• Very high capability. You can operate across domains (legal, accounting, client work) without hand-holding.
• Execution-first. You get things done quickly and to a high standard.
• Objective-driven agency. You take a goal and figure out how to deliver it — without needing step-by-step guidance.
• High output. You use tools (including AI) to 10x your productivity.

We do not require a specific background or degree.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

• Are happy doing both high-leverage work and basic execution
• Are an all-rounder - highly capable across multiple domains
• Learn quickly by doing, not by theorising
• Are curious about human behaviour and decision-making
• Are confident using tools (including AI or code) to get things done when useful

What This Role Is Not

• Not a strategy-only role
• Not a narrowly defined job
• Not for someone who wants to optimise systems before understanding them
• Not for someone who needs structure or clear boundaries

Logistics

• Location: London, in-office
• Salary: £60,000-£80,000 depending on experience
• Equity: Up to 0.3%

Why Join Now

You’ll be working directly with the founders at an early stage, with full visibility into how a company is built and scaled.

This is a role with outsized ownership and learning. If you perform, your scope will expand quickly.
