Skills

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • A highly analytical and creative generalist. You can point to hard problems you've solved elegantly and executed on fast.

  • You own outcomes, and you never settle. You turn ambiguity into a clear plan and hold a high quality bar under speed.

  • You were top of your class at a top university. You have the philosophy of a champion - competitive, used to being second to no one, with impeccable execution.

  • You're obsessed with solving hard problems. It's your hobby, not just your work - and you've won STEM olympiads or competitions to prove it.

  • AI-native, ruthless on quality. You reach for AI to automate and streamline by default - more productive than a team of 12. But you know exactly where AI gets sloppy, you never let it through, and you control quality rigorously.

  • You don't need any work experience. You want the best springboard there is - learning from top talent, with real ownership, at the frontier of one of the hottest markets in AI.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

💰 Salary at the top of the benchmark.

📈 Fair equity with enormous upside potential.

🧩 Real ownership - the founders' highest-leverage problems are yours to own.

🎓 Learn from an ex-Revolut, ex-YC team.

🙌 Small team, high autonomy, and outsized impact.

🗣️ The founding team's direct attention, and a category with a $300B+ industry behind it.

🍱 Healthy meals: No more boring tupperware - enjoy daily meals with Nora Foods. We cover 50% of each order!

💳 Cobee card: Flexible compensation for transport and restaurants, so you can make the most of your net salary.

🚴♂️ Ride into work: Forget traffic jams - hop on your Panot e-bike and cruise to the office! We cover 50% of your subscription.

🛜 Hybrid & Flexible: Our default setup is hybrid - 3 days a week at our office in Poblenou, surrounded by a thriving tech scene, and 2 days of remote work. But if there's one thing that defines us, it's flexibility: we trust you to organize your time and space in the way that helps you do your best work.

The role

Murphy deploys AI agents for banks starting with the most straightforward business case: voice AI for debt collection. We've built a fully-fledged platform designed to optimize recovery rates while maintaining respectful and personalized communication.

Our AI-powered agents adapt instantly, engaging with debtors across channels like voice, messengers, email and SMS to maximize results while preserving trust.

We're live with Santander, Revolut, BBVA and dozens others. We've proven the product in large-scale pilots with top-tier banks. And now we need to move fast to secure leadership in this $300Bn+ industry.

We're looking for a Founder's Associate to work directly alongside the founders on whatever matters most - the next strategic bet, new business process or org transformation. One week it's sizing a new market; the next it's building a financial model or running the research that settles a decision. This isn't a support role - you own real outcomes end to end. It's a founder's right hand across the whole company, with outsized leverage over where it goes - and the classic launchpad to running a function, a market, or your own thing.

Murphy builds AI voice agents that collect overdue debt for banks: more recovered, faster, cheaper, fully compliant, and respectful to the debtor. We're live with Santander, Revolut, BBVA and dozens others. We've proven the product in large-scale pilots with top-tier banks - now we're scaling fast across markets and new businesses, and the founders need a right hand to take on the highest-leverage problem in front of us, whatever it is that week.

What you'll do

  • Run the high-stakes special projects. The fundraise, the competitive teardown, the make-or-break bank deal, the key hire - the things that need a founder's judgment and a builder's follow-through.

  • Do the research that shapes where the company goes. Markets, competitors, regulation, new opportunities - dig in and bring back the answer.

  • Turn strategy into shipped reality. Take a bet from thesis and sizing - a new country, a new business - to live and working.

  • Get hands-on with operations. Ruthlessly fix bottlenecks that prevent company from growing.

  • Dive deep and problem solve. Get to the root of complex, ambiguous problems and design solutions that solve the root cause elegantly.

Hiring process

1️⃣ First Interview - Getting to Know You

A conversation with a future teammate who's excited to find a new colleague. We'll talk about your story, what drives you, and what you're looking for next-no trick questions, just a genuine exchange.

2️⃣ Second Interview - Deep Dive

You'll meet the Hiring Manager and potentially another team member. This is a more technical discussion where we explore your skills in detail, walk through real scenarios, and answer any questions you might have about the role.

3️⃣ Tech Assessment or Business Case

A practical exercise to see how you approach challenges similar to those you'd tackle at Murphy. You'll have time to reflect and showcase your thinking-no rush, no surprises.

4️⃣ Call with the Founders

Our founders meet every team member and it's a great opportunity for you to learn about the company and its direction.

👉 We are committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where everyone, regardless of background, identity, or experience, feels valued and empowered to thrive.
