Growth + AI Founders Associate
For the graduate ready to join an AI startup with real potential to scale, where you sit in the heat of every decision and build something that didn't exist before you got there.

About Convu
We are inventing the new operating system for human connection.
Convu turns every in-person conversation into a relationship that compounds. Voice-note capture, AI follow-ups, the people you meet today becoming the deals, hires and partners of the next ten years, instead of dying in your contacts list.
Launching soon on iOS, Android and web. Backed by NVIDIA Inception, AWS Activate and Google Cloud for Startups. Built in London.
Why this beats anything else you've been offered
You're not employee #47. You're one of the first three. In the room for investor meetings, event partnerships, growth strategy with our partners. What you say gets heard.
AI is your default, not a curiosity. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Apollo, HubSpot. You'll be using all of them daily within a week. Most graduates don't touch this stack for years.
You'll see the whole machine. Partnerships, events, sales, growth: all in the same week, not rotated through over six years.
Speed compounds. Small team. Your work is visible the same day. The playbook you write becomes how the company sells.
What you'll learn from the founder
You'll work directly with Viren. Warwick MORSE graduate. Five years at JP Morgan, from Corporate Strategy to FX Sales & Trading, before leaving to build Convu.
Everything I picked up there: how the best institutions work, how to read a room, how to turn a conversation into a deal. I'll share all of it with you.
The kind of mentorship most people don't get until they're a decade into a career, condensed into your first twelve months.
Strategy, vision and execution, shared in real time, flirting on the edge of what's possible. No two days the same. Always learning, always growing.
What you'll do
Three buckets: partnerships, events, sales. Every week the question is the same. Did more of the right people use Convu because of you?
- Build partnerships. FSB and LCCI on the institutional side, university societies, accelerators and founder communities on the focused side, and co-marketing with adjacent tools.
- Run events. Pick the right rooms in London, show up, work them, onboard people onto the app there and then.
- Build a personal LinkedIn audience alongside ours.
- Use AI as your operating system. Every workflow, every email, every research task.
- Work on real problems. Real customers, real revenue, real partnerships. What you ship today is live tomorrow.
Where this gets you in 12 months
- AI fluency that puts you years ahead of your cohort
- A professional network built in person across London's startup scene, plus a LinkedIn audience that recognises you in your target market
- Sales chops, partnership chops, and the rare ability to do both
- The confidence to start your own thing, or be the most valuable hire at the next place
- If it works for both sides, a path that grows as the company does
Who thrives here
We value innovation and instinct over a polished CV. What we're looking for:
- Hunger. You see this role as the start of something bigger, not a salary.
- Drive. You don't wait to be told. You spot what needs doing and do it.
- People skills. You can hold a room and you can hold a one-to-one.
- Already in the AI stack. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor. These are your default, not your novelty. If they're not, this role won't work.
- Reliable. You do what you say you'll do.
- Based in London. Happy to come into our London Bridge or Farringdon office 2 days a week.
Experience moving people is ideal but loosely defined.
What we read as signal: running a team or a society and making it actually work. AI woven into your current projects, not as a novelty. Selling a side project to real customers. Hustling sponsors, signing partnerships, working a room. Upselling in a hospitality job.
Anything that proves you can build a relationship and turn it into an outcome.
If you've led a student society, I want to hear about it.
