Associate Founder

Position Summary

MoleQuant is an AI platform replacing 18-month industrial R&D with 10-day, physics-validated formulation sprints. Our Trust Engine cross-validates every prediction against physical law. Built in Qatar, backed by Qatar Development Bank with active clients's.

The customers we serve. Mid-to-large industrial manufacturers in the GCC, primarily in oil & gas, construction chemicals, and petrochemicals — buyers are typically technical directors or R&D leads with a live formulation challenge blocking a product or project timeline. We have active paying enterprise clients in Saudi Arabia, with cross-border validated demand in Oman, and are scaling our presence in Qatar, where we're headquartered and invested in by Qatar Development Bank

We are not hiring a role. We are opening a seat.

We are looking for a Associate Founder for Qatar, someone willing to invest their time and energy into bringing us clients, not just a name on a title. This is someone with deep industry connections in Qatar and the GCC region with a proven ability to open doors, close deals, and place resources, ready to join our leadership team and build MoleQuant's presence in Qatar alongside the founding team. This is for someone who wants to build something they own, not work a job they are paid for.

This role starts on a commission basis. As you bring in clients and prove out the partnership, it converts into an equity based Associate role. In practice, this means once you bring in the agreed number of clients, we move forward with converting you into a Associate Founder and registering you in the CR and all related official documents.

Core Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership: Shape MoleQuant's growth strategy in Qatar.

• Business Development: Identify and close new markets, partnerships, and client projects within Qatar, including bringing your own idea to the table for us to build together.

• Sales Leadership: Build and lead a high performing sales presence in the country, owning the sales strategy and driving it to revenue targets.

• Market Representation: Represent MoleQuant and its products at industry events, conferences, and partnership conversations in Qatar.

What We're Offering

• A Path to Equity: This role starts on a commission basis. Once you bring in agreed number of clients, we convert the arrangement into an equal equity and ownership stake alongside the founding team, making you a true co-founder, not a hire.

• A Warm Market to Build In: You are not starting from zero. We are already backed by Qatar Development Bank and Jaheez and we have clients in Saudi Arabia.

What We're Looking For

Established industry connections and credibility within Qatar, with a track record of driving real growth in tech, AI, manufacturing, Oil & Gas.

A genuine founder's mindset. Someone who wants ownership and is willing to invest real time and effort into earning it, starting on a commission basis.

Strong sales, business development, or staffing and recruitment experience, ideally in chemical, Oil & Gas, or a relevant vertical in Qatar market.

Sharp strategic thinking and the ability to operate through ambiguity and growth.

A strong communicator, able to build partnerships and lead teams from scratch.
