Job description

About this role

Pluralis Research carries out foundational research on Protocol Learning : multi-participant training of foundation models where no single participant has, or can ever obtain, a full copy of the model. The purpose of Protocol Learning is to facilitate the creation of community-trained and community-owned frontier models with self-sustaining economics. As a Founders Associate (Business Operations), you'll build up to owning end-to-end projects across go-to-market, operations, and "the 100 other broken things" that need fixing in a startup. One day, you'll be managing campaigns directly with our CEO, the next you'll be fixing a broken…

Responsibilities

  • GTM Execution: You want to own and drive go-to-market strategy and execution - supporting our growth and partnerships initiatives.
  • Operational Excellence: Build and maintain operational infrastructure: processes, tooling, reporting. You find something broken, you relish in fixing it.
  • Strategic Projects: Exposure to strategic projects across partnerships, community, marketing and ecosystem development.
  • Business Ops: Directly support our founder & CoS in day to day operations of the business.
  • High Agency: Pick up and run with whatever is the most important task on any given week.

Qualifications and requirements

  • In General: 1-2 years of experience in management consulting (tier-1), high-growth startup operations, or venture capital.
  • High Agency: Demonstrated bias toward action. You default to doing, not asking for permission.
  • Strong analytical toolkit: comfortable building models, pulling apart data, and synthesising findings into clear recommendations.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. You can draft a professional memo and rally an executive team behind it.
  • Genuine interest in AI: Whether current models, decentralised systems, or frontier technology. You may be non-technical, but you're curious enough to go deeper than the average person.
  • Early-career advancement pathway. Requires 1–2 years in tier-one management consulting, high-growth startup operations, or venture capital, plus analytical and communication skills and a genuine interest in AI. Only candidates based in Australia with full working rights are eligible. Verified active in Chrome on August 26, 2026.
