Associate - CEO Office

**Transform 800,000 hectares of greenhouses into fully-autonomous unmanned food production sites**:
At Eternal, we're building the future of sustainable food production. Our mission is to convert the world's existing greenhouses into unmanned facilities that can produce fresh food year-round - addressing the critical need to double food production by 2050 while facing severe labor shortages, water scarcity, and climate challenges.

**Your Role**:
As Associate to the CEO Office, you'll be the strategic right hand to our founders, working at the intersection of strategy and execution. This isn't a glorified assistant role - you'll be solving real problems that matter: Why do customers choose us over alternatives? Which partnerships could unlock our next 100 deployments? How do we scale our operations across multiple countries while maintaining quality?

You'll have genuine impact and responsibility from day one, touching every aspect of the business from customer engagement and partnerships to fundraising and strategic planning. Think of yourself as a force multiplier for the leadership team - someone who can context-switch seamlessly, drive critical initiatives forward, and turn ambitious ideas into operational reality.

**Build from the ground up**:
**Drive customer success and expansion**:
You'll engage directly with greenhouse operators, understanding their operational challenges and ensuring our robotic solutions deliver tangible value. This includes accompanying customers through deployment phases, coordinating with our technical teams, and using everything you learn to improve how we deliver on our promises.

**Accelerate strategic partnerships**:
Not the flashy ones that look good in press releases, but the ones that will actually move the needle. You'll research potential partners across the agricultural ecosystem, build relationships with key stakeholders, and help structure deals that accelerate our growth.

**Scale our exceptional team**:
**Shape our go-to-market strategy**:
Work with the founders to refine our positioning, pricing, and expansion strategy. This includes analyzing competitor movements, identifying new market opportunities, and helping craft the narrative that resonates with customers and investors.

**Lead cross-functional initiatives**:
Own critical projects that span multiple teams - from launching in new geographies to implementing operational systems that enable us to scale. You'll be the connective tissue ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

**Support fundraising and investor relations**:
Help prepare compelling materials for investors, conduct market research, support due diligence processes, and maintain relationships with our existing backers.

**Reality check**:
This role exists because scaling a deep-tech robotics company requires someone who can think strategically while executing flawlessly. You'll be working on complex challenges at the intersection of robotics, agriculture, and business - not scheduling meetings or managing calendars.

The best part? You'll have a front-row seat to building a company that will transform how the world produces food. The hardest part? The ambiguity and constant context-switching that comes with being a true generalist in a fast-moving startup.

**Who you are**:
**Core requirements**:

- ** Track record of excellence**: Whether from top-tier consulting, high-growth startups, or leading tech companies, you've demonstrated the ability to operate at a high level and deliver results that matter
- ** Early career, mature thinking**: 2-5 years of experience with the strategic mindset of someone much more senior, combined with the energy and adaptability of someone hungry to prove yourself
- ** Exceptionally organized without being rigid**: You can juggle multiple high-stakes priorities while staying flexible enough to pivot when circumstances change
- ** Natural problem solver**: You see problems before they become crises and opportunities others miss. You take ownership without being asked
- ** Genuinely excited about our mission**: This isn't just a stepping stone - you believe in revolutionizing food production and want to help build the solution
- ** Comfortable with ambiguity**: You thrive in environments where the playbook hasn't been written yet

**Bonus points if you have**:

- Experience at a top-tier consulting firm or high-growth startup
- Experience with fundraising or investor relations
- Track record in B2B sales or business development
- Something distinctive that clearly sets you apart - whether that's building your own startup, published research, or an unconventional path that demonstrates exceptional drive
