As a Founder Support & Growth Associate with Techstars Anywhere, our first remote-first accelerator program, you will engage with the next amazing batch of startups as they grow from early stage to venture-backed companies. You will work closely to support companies throughout our 13-week accelerator programs while working alongside the Techstars Anywhere team.
We are a small team, energized by working with companies that are creating meaningful change in the startup ecosystem. We find profound purpose in the work we do, and we are looking for team members who are culture contributors and are able to jump in and provide support to founders wherever needed with little direction.
This role is an opportunity to broaden your network, and get exposure to some great up-and-coming companies and teams. Some associates even end up being employed by one of the teams or by someone they met during the span of the three months or go on to build their own companies.

GENERAL JOB DESCRIPTION

If you are a growth hacker, systems operator, data specialist and someone who is ready to jump in and work closely with founders, this is the role for you.
Ideally, you’re a growth, data and/or operations superstar who loves supporting founders scale their businesses, solve problems, think strategically, and execute (#domorefaster). A willingness to learn, comfort tackling new problems, and ability to get tasks and asks done quickly and efficiently is a must. You’ll need to be flexible, willing and able to pitch in with unforeseen needs founders may have.
