Platform Associate

About the role

As Platform Associate, you'll play a central role in helping founders experience Point Nine — from founder onboarding and ecosystem partnerships to large founder summits, curated dinners, newsletters, and online community touchpoints. This is a hands-on, highly operational role with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.

What you'll do

• Create exceptional founder experiences: Help design and deliver thoughtful, high-value experiences for our founders and community, online and offline, ensuring founders get the right support at the right time.
• Plan and run events: From Founder Summits, dinners, and masterclasses to university initiatives and broader ecosystem events — you'll own logistics and on-site execution from start to finish.
• Keep things organised: Track timelines, manage budgets, maintain systems (CRM etc.), coordinate founder onboarding, improve workflows, and help us run a very tight operational setup.
• Manage ecosystem partnerships: Build and maintain relationships with leading technology partners and help our portfolio companies access highly relevant tools, resources, and opportunities.
• Contribute across content & communications: Support founder communications and community storytelling across newsletters, social channels, Slack/WhatsApp groups and other channels.
• Improve systems and processes: Notice what's inefficient, suggest better ways of working, and continuously help evolve how the platform team operates.
• Be a force multiplier: Support the Director of Platform across broader projects while independently owning many initiatives yourself.

What you'll need

• Genuine love for startups and technology, and enjoyment in bringing builders together
• Energy from creating exceptional experiences and making complex things run smoothly
• Deep care for quality, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail
• Strong organisational and project management skills
• Ability to work autonomously and as part of a collaborative team
