Barcelona, Spain Hybrid Full-time

Metarina is hiring a Founders Associate / AI Operations Fellow

Responsibilities

  • Own the CEO's communication triage (email, WhatsApp), calendar management, travel logistics, and meeting preparation.
  • Capture follow-ups, prepare briefing documents, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Rebuild and maintain Notion for sales and networking enablement.
  • Clean up and structure the people and networking database.
  • Support customer segmentation and target market analysis.
  • Prepare research and briefing materials for sales meetings.
  • Build and maintain dashboards that give the CEO real-time visibility into company performance.
  • Work with our fractional CFO to translate financial data into actionable reporting.
  • Track KPIs across teams and flag what needs attention before it becomes a problem.
  • Coordinate with external partners including our fractional CFO, content specialists, legal advisors, tax consultants, and other service providers.
  • Ensure deliverables land on time and at the right quality.
  • Translate messy, ambiguous internal topics into concrete next steps and own their resolution.
  • When something needs solving (finding the right attorney, chasing a vendor, structuring a new process), you take it and run with it.
  • Identify, build, and maintain AI-powered automations (using tools like Claude, n8n, Make, or custom integrations) that reduce manual operational work across the company.
  • Upskill team members to use AI tools effectively in their own workflows.
  • When capacity allows, support the broader team on cross-functional topics such as testing, competitor research, or client onboarding.

Requirements

  • 2 to 4 years of experience in operations, consulting, startup generalist roles, or similar high-context environments
  • Demonstrated ability to build workflows and automations using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, Make, Zapier, or similar). This is not optional. We will test it in the interview.
  • Strong written communication. You'll draft investor updates, sales follow-ups, and internal briefs.
  • Comfortable with both high-leverage and low-status work. You'll build an automation pipeline on Monday and book a flight on Tuesday.
  • Excellent judgment about what matters and what doesn't. You know when to escalate and when to resolve.
  • Structured thinker who can create order from messy inputs without being told exactly how.
  • Reliable follow-through. Things you own do not get dropped.
  • Fluency in English and German.

Nice to Have

  • Strong Spanish is a significant plus.
  • Italian is a bonus.
  • Proficiency in Notion.
  • Experience with PostHog, HubSpot, or similar tools is a plus.

Benefits

  • Direct access to the CEO and real decision-making authority from day one
  • A clear trajectory: automate the operational layer, graduate into strategic and project ownership
  • Work on a product transforming a traditional industry at the start of its technological shift
  • Small team where your contribution is visible and your voice shapes company direction
  • Flexible and remote working environment
  • Barcelona team offsite and regular in-person collaboration

The process is a short introductory call followed by a practical case interview.
