About the Role
At Optiminastic, we're looking for a Founder's Office Associate who wants to work close to the action and learn how businesses are built from the inside. This role is for someone who is sharp, curious, resourceful, and excited by variety. You'll work directly with the leadership team on strategic and operational initiatives, helping turn ideas into action across projects, teams, processes, research, and business execution.
As a Founder's Office Associate, you won't be limited to one function. You'll get exposure to decision-making, business strategy, process improvement, AI tools, internal operations, and growth initiatives. One day you may be coordinating an important project, the next you may be researching a new opportunity, improving a workflow, preparing insights for leadership, or helping solve a business problem that needs speed and clarity.
This is a high-learning, high-ownership role for someone who wants to grow fast. If you're organized, proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by the chance to work directly with founders and senior leaders, this role is for you.
At Optiminastic, you won't just support the business, you'll learn how to help build it.
