Founders' Office, Special Projects

About The Role

We're looking for an exceptional operator to join our Founders' Office and work directly with our co-founders on some of WithCoverage's most ambitious commercial initiatives.

As we scale, we're pursuing opportunities that don't fit neatly within an existing team. These might include launching a new business line, validating a strategic partnership, entering a new market, or bringing an entirely new commercial model to life. Many of these opportunities have the potential to generate millions of dollars in revenue and materially change the trajectory of the company.

You'll take these ideas from concept to execution. That means assessing the opportunity, developing a strategy, building the right relationships, and doing whatever it takes to get something off the ground.

This is not a traditional strategy or Chief of Staff role. You won't research opportunities, prepare recommendations, or coordinate execution. You'll own initiatives from start to finish and be accountable for delivering results.

The ideal candidate combines exceptional problem-solving ability with strong commercial instincts, creativity, and relentless follow-through. You can operate comfortably with senior executives, but you're equally willing to get into the details and do the work yourself.

What You'll Do

• Own high-impact special projects end to end. Take ambitious ideas from the founders, evaluate their potential, develop a plan, and independently drive execution through launch.
• Build new commercial opportunities. Identify and pursue new markets, business models, strategic partnerships, and distribution channels with meaningful revenue potential.
• Launch zero-to-one initiatives. Validate demand, develop business models, secure initial customers or partners, and build the infrastructure necessary to bring new opportunities to market.
• Build strategic external relationships. Represent WithCoverage with founders, executives, investors, and prospective partners. Develop relationships that create meaningful commercial opportunities.
• Drive cross-functional execution. Work across Growth, Risk, Product, Engineering, Finance, and Legal to navigate complex initiatives and bring them to completion.
• Solve ambiguous problems independently. Build context quickly in unfamiliar industries, develop practical solutions, and find creative ways to make progress without an established playbook.
• Validate early successes: Validate and hand off new opportunities. Test ambitious ideas, prove their commercial viability, and establish the initial operating model. Once validated, transition ownership to the appropriate team to scale.

Who You Are

• You have 2+ years of experience in a high-performance environment, such as founding or operating at a startup, management consulting, investing, or strategic business development.
• You have exceptional commercial instincts and can evaluate opportunities based on their strategic importance, economics, and potential to create meaningful business value.
• You are highly entrepreneurial and energized by building something from zero to one.
• You have extremely high agency. You can take an ambiguous objective, define the path forward, and drive progress without constant direction.
• You are a strong relationship builder who can establish credibility with senior executives, negotiate effectively, and represent WithCoverage externally.
• You combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You're as comfortable building a business case as you are making calls, closing a partnership, or solving an operational problem.
• You have excellent judgment, a strong sense of urgency, and an exceptionally high bar for the quality of your work.
• You are motivated by ownership and outcomes rather than titles, organizational boundaries, or narrowly defined responsibilities.
