Work directly with the CEO to run go-to-market operations: account research, list building, campaign execution, CRM management, end-to-end marketing programs, and sales support to move opportunities with audit and finance leaders at large public companies. Founding-team role with exposure to sales, pricing, hiring, and strategy.
Bead AI is building the trust layer for enterprise. An agentic AI that handles audit and compliance in real time, so companies stop discovering problems months after they happen. We have very strong early traction, we're deployed at some of the largest companies in the world, from Fortune 500s to Mag-7, and are starting to scale.
- Own the operational side of our go-to-market: account research and list building, campaign execution, and a clean, actionable CRM.
- Run our marketing programs end to end, planning, logistics, execution, and the follow-up that turns interest into sales conversations.
- Support across the sales process: preparation, follow-ups, and keeping opportunities moving with audit and finance leaders at large public companies.
- Handle everything else that keeps an early-stage company moving fast, working directly with the CEO as his force multiplier across go-to-market and operations.
This is a founding-team role: you take operational weight off the CEO so he can sell and build, and in return you get exposure to every part of the company's sales calls, pricing, hiring, and strategy.
- 1–3 years into your career Startup, consulting, banking, ops, or something less conventional where you clearly outperformed.
- AI-native You use AI daily, you've automated real parts of your work or life, and you reach for an AI tool before a manual process every time (no coding required).
- Relentlessly organized and high-agency Many threads at once, loops closed without being chased.
- A crisp writer Much of this job is written communication with senior professionals.
- Comfortable with ambiguity Priorities change weekly, the processes you need often don't exist until you build them.
- Want a front-row seat to every function of an early-stage AI company, working directly with the founders every day
- Get satisfaction from making things run and then automating them so they run without you
- Would like to move with the team to San Francisco for ~3 months in the fall 2026, with a potential path to staying longer
- See "not my job" as a phrase that doesn't exist on a founding team
This won't be the right role if you
- Don't want an execution-heavy role
- Need structure handed to you or a manager who checks in daily
- Prefer staying inside a defined lane
- Don't currently have the right to work in the UK
- Compensation depends on the experience
- Full medical insurance
- An unrestricted AI tooling budget. We want you using the best tools available
- In-person work from our London office, directly with the founding team. Then San Francisco with us in fall of 2026
- Real ownership from week one and a clear conversation from day one about what this role becomes as we scale
