>Why this role is different.
→Real ownership, not rotation. You won't shadow or observe. You'll own real projects from week one and ship them.
→Direct founder access. Mentored every day by founders who built a multi-six-figure MRR company from nothing.
→A decade of exposure, in a year. Platform builds, product features, internal tooling, data systems, automations. The breadth most people don't see until their 30s.
→A real path upward. This is the start of a long career at Syllabi. The ceiling is high, and it's yours to climb.
→A mission that actually matters. We work with 1,200+ students whose schools are letting them down. The work means something.
>Who we are
Syllabi is an online GCSE prep platform for UK students in Maths, English and Science. Live group lessons, 24/7 personal tutors, workbooks, recordings, and marked assessments - all in one place.
We built the whole platform from the ground up. Nobody else in UK edtech is doing this at scale, and 1,200+ students already rely on us as their main way of learning.
>What you'll do
Touch every part of the build. Internal tooling, platform features, automations, data systems. You'll work across all of it, not in a single lane.
Ship real code from week one. No shadowing, no rotation. Features and fixes that go live on the platform students and parents use every day.
Work directly with Adam every day. Mentored on the build, the decisions, and the thinking behind both.

Meet your Co-Founder
Hi, I'm Adam.
My background is in computer science, and I'm head of operations at Syllabi, where I own much of the product and product development.
I've been building businesses since I was 12. My edge is finding the signal in the noise; the patterns most people miss, the data that actually changes a decision, the thing nobody else is looking at yet.
The founder's analyst role is a phenomenal opportunity to be part of something massive, and learn more about building and scaling companies by being in the game, rather than watching from the sidelines.
