What we're looking for

This is not a shadowing role and there is no training programme.

What we need

Three or more years in investment banking, management consulting, venture capital, or a startup where you ran or supported a fundraise. What matters is that you have worked to an external deadline with a senior audience reading your output.
You build models. An operating plan, a scenario, a cap table, unit economics on a service business. From a blank sheet, not by filling in someone else's template.
You communicate well enough that we would put you in front of an investor unedited. Clear writing and clear speaking are most of this job. You will draft things that go out under the CEO's name and sit in conversations where how you say it changes the answer.
You organise. Several threads at once, nothing dropped, and status legible without anyone having to ask you for it.
Professional English, and based in Barcelona or moving here. The role is on-site with the team, with travel across Europe

The role

ABOUT SOVRANO AI Sovrano AI sells expert capacity. Frontier AI models are no longer limited by compute. They are limited by how much verifiable expert human judgment can be pointed at them, and Europe has the experts without having the companies that put them to work. We are building that layer. Concretely: we recruit and verify domain experts through partner universities across Europe, then put them to work on the data that trains and evaluates frontier models. RLHF preference labelling, expert-written instruction data, multilingual and red-team evaluation, reasoning benchmark authoring, long-form review, and expert-demonstrated robotics data, delivered against client quality rubrics and increasingly against our own. Sovrano works with frontier AI labs, robotics companies and enterprise AI teams across Europe and the United States. They come to Sovrano because they cannot find enough real experts elsewhere, they do not trust crowdsourced labels, and they need consistent quality at volume and in many languages. ABOUT THE ROLE There is no fixed remit, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. You take work oﬀ the CEO's desk, and the work changes week to week. THE PACE, SAID PLAINLY: This is the part people skim. Read it properly, because it is the thing most likely to make this the wrong job for you. The CEO's schedule is the pace you keep. Long days, late nights when something is due, and weekends when a raise, a deadline or a conference lands on one. Priorities change mid-week. Work you finished at 11pm gets binned the next morning because the answer changed, and you pick up the next thing without a sulk. We are not going to dress that up as balance. The trade is honest and it is specific: four intense months, and you

What you'll do

What you own

Go to market: Research on the labs and companies we want to sell to, target lists, call prep, follow-ups, keeping the CRM honest, and writing the proposals and overviews that go out under our name.
Fundraising: Investor materials, the data room, diligence answers, the monthly update memo, and running the process so nothing sits for a week without a reply. You are in the room for a lot of these conversations.
Financial modeling: The operating plan, raise scenarios, unit economics per program, pricing and margin on statements of work, and the monthly numbers pack. You need to be able to build a model from a blank sheet.
Running the company day to day: Board and all-hands prep, the roadmap, hiring pipelines, and whichever internal process is broken that month.
Events and conferences: We are at academic and industry conferences across Europe. You help plan them, you come, you work the room, and you own the follow-up.
The constant is that almost everything you produce goes to a customer, an investor or a partner, usually within days.
