Our customers are auditors risk managers and compliance teams which means evaluation rigor auditability and EU AI Act readiness arent afterthoughts for us. Theyre product requirements.

Tasks

As our Founders Associate you work directly with our CEO and CTO on whatever moves the company forward that week. This is the role that scales the two of us. You will:

• Own our sales and contract asset library digital decks one-pagers and contractual annexes stay in sync with what we actually ship.
• Prepare support and document customer calls account research before discovery calls demo prep notes and follow-ups after. Our customers are Internal Audit and Internal Control leads at large enterprises so the prep has to be right.
• Enhance our company knowledge base one always-current baseline the whole team works from structured so that our other AI tools can work from it too. This is a real project with a real outcome not documentation housekeeping.
• Run market and competitor analyses target markets competitors product comparisons. You do the work and come back with a recommendation not a link dump.
• Triage partnerships and product inbound categorize potential product partners evaluate inbound partnership requests run deep dives on specific product capabilities.
• Take strategic projects end to end you plan and implement them with us and you own the outcome.
• Professionalize how we run internally our processes and system landscape get better because you make them better.
• Support recruiting screening applications coordinating interviews keeping candidates warm and the pipeline moving. Were hiring across engineering product and commercial this year.
• Drive employer branding LinkedIn content our hiring pages and the campaign that makes the next five hires easier than the last five.
• Organize our team events and pick up the light HR and office topics that come with a growing Munich team.

Youll define part of your own scope as you go. The list above is where we need you first not a fence.

Requirements

• Youve either just finished your Bachelors or Masters or you have one to three years behind you. Any field. Consulting Big 4 regtech or startup experience is a plus not a filter.
• A genuine generalist. Youre comfortable moving between a competitor analysis a customer demo prep a LinkedIn post and a Notion cleanup in the same week without losing the thread on any of them.
• You prioritize without being told. We will give you more than you can do. Deciding what to drop is part of the job.
• You write clearly. A competitor analysis or customer brief you hand us should be usable as-is not rewritten by a founder.
• You work AI-native. You already use Claude or a comparable tool as a working instrument and you can show us something you built automated or figured out with it. Were an AI-native company. That includes how we operate not just what we ship.
• German at C1 and English at C1. Youll research German enterprises write German-language brand content and work with an international team daily.
• Discretion. Youll see sensitive data contracts and investor material. That trust is the foundation of the role.

Nice to have:

• Exposure to GRC audit risk compliance or a regulated industry
• AI experience and willingness to support enhancing a knowledge base others actually used
• Notion power user
• Comfortable making content and structure changes to our website(s)
• Prior recruiting or employer branding experience even informal

Benefits

• Direct work with both founders from day one with short decision paths and real ownership. Nothing gets thrown over a wall to you.
• A clear path to Chief of Staff as the company scales. Your trajectory tracks ours.
• A front-row seat at a High-Tech Gründerfonds-backed Techstars-accelerated company at the point where things get built with AI not maintained.
• A steep learning curve at the intersection of enterprise GRC AI and how a company actually gets built.
• Direct access to enterprise customers and to our investors which is unusual this early in a career.
