Innovator Jobs for Generalists
Innovators are the builders and makers who push into uncharted territory. They're drawn to roles where the playbook hasn't been written yet – founding teams, R&D labs, product experiments, and creative ventures. Innovators combine technical skill with creative vision to make things that didn't exist before. If you'd rather build the plane while flying it than follow the instruction manual, these roles are calling.
Be the first growth hire at a health-tech startup backed by Manual. You'll own the entire acquisition engine from day one — strategy, execution, experimentation. A founding role for someone who wants to build from zero.
Build the AI brain behind the world's first AI workforce for logistics. These agents negotiate freight, coordinate dispatch, and manage complex workflows across phone, email, and software systems. Applied AI research that ships to production, not just papers.
Own growth at an early-stage company across all channels and stages. This is a C-suite role at a startup small enough that you'll be in the weeds but senior enough to set the entire direction. Perfect for someone who's done the big-company playbook and wants to write their own.
Chief strategic advisor to the Chief AI Officer at a global law firm. Shape AI adoption strategy, lead cross-functional transformation, and bridge the gap between bleeding-edge technology and centuries-old legal practice. Part strategist, part translator, part change agent.
Be the generalist designer at a YC-backed AI platform automating medical practice operations. Design product features, ship landing pages, create sales decks, and build every visual asset. You own everything from pixels to positioning.
Tackle the CEO's hardest problems at an AI-native insurance brokerage that's grown 100x in a year. Biz ops, growth, M&A diligence, investor materials – scope shifts weekly based on what's most critical. A future-founder training ground.
Build the entire go-to-market engine for an AI-powered product management platform from zero. Part sales, part marketing, part community builder – you'll define positioning, run campaigns, and close deals for a startup already working with brands like Paul Smith and Stussy.
Lead innovation at a French restaurant-tech company rethinking how hospitality businesses operate. You'll scout emerging tech, test new product concepts, and shape the roadmap — a role for someone who sees around corners.
Be the first data scientist at a stealth entertainment company. Discover untapped data sources through creative scraping, build ML models for content analysis, and use LLMs to accelerate workflows. Bring order to the chaos of culture through music and audio data.
Be the second engineer at a startup building a new way to measure character, values, and taste through gamified behavioral experiences. You will ship across the full stack while exploring what to do with rich behavioral signal – building scoring systems, trait models, and recommendation logic that actually differentiate people.
Identify new market opportunities, launch new verticals from scratch, and build partnerships at a media-tech company whose content has been consumed over 3 billion times. Work autonomously alongside the founder – backed by Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest, and angels from Spotify and Blackstone.
Join a proof-of-work hiring platform as the first generalist hire. One day you're talking to founders about hiring strategy, the next you're researching companies, evaluating candidates, and figuring out how early teams think and build. This isn't a fixed lane – it's the entire road.
Own the entire design surface for a startup building gamified behavioral identity experiences. From interactive fiction to shareable identity artifacts, you will craft something the world has never seen – part personality assessment, part choose-your-own-adventure, part character sheet. Design engineering chops required.
Build the growth engine for the #1 AI meeting tool used by 20M+ people. This isn't a typical engineering role – you'll work across the full stack building data pipelines, enrichment engines, and outbound automation systems that power Fireflies' land-and-expand strategy. Think growth engineering meets GTM ops, with experiments across user segments and cross-functional collaboration with sales, marketing, and product.
Drive growth for a nonprofit that researches and recommends the most effective climate donations. You'll experiment with channels, messaging, and partnerships to move more money toward what actually works.
Help fashion brands decarbonise by scouting and supporting innovative technologies. You'll work at the intersection of sustainability, fashion, and deep tech — starting in India with the chance to relocate to Amsterdam.
Manage programmes for an organisation whose name tells you everything about their approach. If you want to work in social impact but can't stand the bureaucracy, this might be your place.
