The Role

Acai Travel is revolutionizing the travel industry by empowering leading Airlines, Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), and Travel Management Companies (TMCs) with cutting-edge AI agentic solutions. We are rebuilding the travel industry with agentic software.

We are looking for a Founder Associate to work side-by-side with our CEO and CPTO to drive the company’s growth, efficiency, and impact. This is a high-leverage, high-trust role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, can switch between strategic thinking and hands-on execution, and loves making things work better — ideally with the help of AI wherever possible.

In this role, you will be a true extension of the founders, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

If that wasn’t already amazing, here’s the best part: our culture is deeply grounded in cognitive behavioral theories and the principles of Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, fostering an ego-less approach to problem-solving and emotional stillness. We consider the company a playground to become better individuals. You will be transformed into a more empowered, joyful, and inspiring version of yourself. Guaranteed.
