Founder Associate – GTM & Growth
At Zelt, we’re not just building HR software – we’re reinventing how modern companies run HR, payroll, IT, and finance. We’re at a pivotal moment in our journey: growing rapidly, backed by top investors, and expanding our footprint in the United Kingdom and beyond.
We are currently hiring a Founder Associate (GTM & Growth) to work directly with our CEO. This is a rare opportunity to help scale a SaaS Company and get a front-row seat to how it grows. You’ll see the impact of your work every day and join at the perfect inflection point: the product is proven, traction is real and it is still early enough that your work will help shape how Zelt grows.
You will own high-impact projects across outbound marketing, content strategy, events, partnerships, lead generation, and go-to-market operations. This is a highly entrepreneurial role for someone who enjoys combining strategy with execution. One day you might be launching an outbound campaign targeting CFOs, the next coordinating a flagship industry event or building partnerships that expand Zelt’s reach.
What you’ll be working on:
Growth Marketing & Outbound: You’ll own outbound from zero to pipeline by building campaigns that reach HR, Finance, and Operations leaders and turning them into Zelt believers.
Lead Generation & GTM Operations: You’ll own the engine, encompassing multi-channel lead generation, CRM, and pipeline tracking, while working closely with the Commercial Team to drive conversions at every stage.
Events & Brand Visibility: From intimate executive dinners to industry conferences, you’ll put Zelt in the room where it matters and make sure we’re remembered.
Awards & Industry Recognition: You’ll shape how the market sees Zelt, identifying the right platforms, owning submissions, and building our reputation as a category leader.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Development: You’ll open doors with industry associations, investors, and ecosystem partners, turning relationships into commercial momentum.
What we’re looking for:
- First-class degree (or international equivalent) from a top-tier university, with a demonstrated record of academic excellence.
- 1–3 years of experience in a high-performance environment such as a startup, consulting, investment banking or venture capital.
- Excellent written communication skills with a strong instinct for storytelling.
- Strong execution mindset with the ability to move quickly from idea to live campaign or initiative.
- Highly organised, but not just a project manager – someone who actively creates momentum.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to identify what moves the needle.
- Entrepreneurial attitude with strong ownership and a bias for action.
Nice to have:
- Hands-on experience with growth marketing, outbound campaigns, lead generation, or demand generation is a strong plus.
- Confidence working across marketing and sales to drive pipeline and market visibility.
- Strong ability to build compelling narratives and translate them into campaigns, messaging, and content that reach the right audiences.
Why join Zelt?
- Join at a pivotal stage as Zelt scales rapidly across the United Kingdom and internationally.
- Work directly with the CEO on some of the company’s most important growth initiatives.
- Gain exposure to sales, marketing, partnerships, and company building.
- Take ownership from day one and see the direct impact of your work.
- Fast-track your career in startups, growth, venture capital, or entrepreneurship.
- Competitive compensation and the opportunity to help shape one of Europe’s most exciting SaaS companies.
