Co-Founder - Operations, Product & Growth @ GridRail
I’m building GridRail to help private credit funds run their operations with less manual work, clearer information and greater confidence in their numbers.
Fund teams manage complex investments while coordinating accounting, reporting and relationships with investors and service providers. Too much of that work depends on fragmented information, repeated checks and manual coordination. Our ambition is to make the day-to-day running of a fund simpler and more reliable.
I’ve already built a working MVP and am working closely with a design partner who is using the product and helping shape its development. I’m looking for a co-founder to help turn that foundation into a growing business.
This is a full-time co-founder role working alongside GridRail’s founder and CEO, with ownership across operations, product and commercial development. You’ll play a central role in shaping the product, building customer relationships and growing the company.
The role would include:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Operations: Own day-to-day business execution, manage priorities and establish practical processes as the company grows.
- Product: Spend time with fund teams, understand their workflows and turn customer needs into clear product priorities. Help decide what we build and assess whether it solves the problem.
- Fund and client relationships: Build trusted relationships with fund managers, CFOs, controllers and operations teams. Lead discovery conversations, coordinate pilots and onboarding, and maintain a close feedback loop.
- Sales and commercial development: Find and win early customers, develop our positioning, test pricing and turn initial interest into lasting customer relationships.
- Partnerships: Develop relationships with fund administrators, accountants and other relevant industry partners.
- Company building: Help recruit the early team and contribute to fundraising and investor relationships as needed.
You could be a strong fit if you:
- Have relevant experience in private credit, fund operations, fund accounting, fintech or building products for financial institutions.
- Are excited by what AI makes possible and actively experiment, learn and apply new approaches.
- Bring initiative and momentum: you spot what needs doing, get started and follow through.
- Can earn the trust of finance professionals and communicate complex topics clearly.
- Combine experience and commercial judgement with a willingness to question your own assumptions.
- Enjoy both shaping direction and doing the practical work: talking to customers, writing requirements, following up and solving problems.
