Founder's Associate (Lisbon, Hybrid) – PuraVero

Want to learn how to build a company by helping run one? This is a founder's associate role at a fast-growing startup — you'll work directly alongside me, the founder, on everything it takes to grow it.

PuraVero makes premium water filtration systems for the home — designed and assembled in the UK, sold direct-to-consumer online and through a consultative sales process. We're growing fast in the UK, and soon the world. I'm now based in Portugal, so I'm hiring my right hand here in Lisbon.

This isn't a narrow job. One day you're on the phone converting inbound leads and tightening the sales system behind them; the next you're running Meta and Google campaigns, briefing creative, improving the ecommerce site, building an automation in the CRM, or digging into the numbers. You'll touch every part of the business — sales, sales systems, ecommerce, paid acquisition, content and creative, operations, finance — and have real ownership of what works.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Sales: take consultation calls with inbound leads, close, and follow up — then build the system so the team does it better

• Sales systems: own the CRM, booking, automations, reporting and the sales process end to end

• Ecommerce: run and improve the online store — conversion, checkout, payment plans, filter subscriptions

• Growth: Meta and Google ads, landing pages, testing creative and reading the data

• Creative: brief and produce content — video, UGC, brochures, social — and keep the brand's voice sharp

• AI tooling: build with the AI systems we run across sales, marketing and ops

• Numbers, suppliers, hiring, whatever the day calls for — that's the nature of it

WHAT I'M AFTER

• A generalist with horsepower — learns tools fast, takes ownership, ships without being chased

• Comfortable on the phone and with customers; a straight talker who's good with people

• Fluent in digital tools (ads platforms, CRMs, ecommerce, AI) and quick to pick up new ones

• A creative streak — taste in how things look and read, or the drive to build it

• Sharp, organised, reliable, and hungry to understand how a modern business actually works from the inside

• Native-level English; based in Lisbon

You don't need water or filtration experience — I'll teach you the product. Brains, graft and output matter far more than a polished CV. What you build here, you'll have helped build, with a clear path into a leadership role as we scale.
