Founders Associate (m/f/d)

Job description

You'll join an early-stage, AI-native startup with a product that has already proven market fit. We build cutting-edge AI solutions for Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) for enterprises around the world. Our customers are auditors, risk managers, and compliance teams, which means evaluation rigor, auditability, and EU AI Act readiness aren't afterthoughts for us. They're 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.

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. We're 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. You'll define part of your own scope as you go. The list above is where we need you first, not a fence. Requirements You've either just finished your Bachelor's or Master's, or you have one to three years behind you. Any field.
