Founder's Associate (m/w/d)

Counterfight (Stington & Partner Legal GmbH) is a legal-tech company turning music usage on social media into licensed revenue for rights holders — without takedowns or friction. The model works, the pipeline is live, and we're signing clients. We're looking for a Founders Associate to work directly alongside the founder in Munich and build the operational backbone of the company: the processes, frameworks, and infrastructure that turn a working idea into a company that runs and scales.

Tasks

• Own and build the operational infrastructure behind our core pipeline: detection → outreach → contracts → revenue
• Design the processes and frameworks for client onboarding, case management, and reporting so nothing falls through the cracks
• Establish the internal systems, tooling, and documentation a scaling company needs — and keep them running without youTurn ad-hoc, founder-dependent processes into structured, repeatable playbooks
• Spot whatever is broken, missing, or blocking the founder from selling — and build the fixTake on the things no one else is doing yet, across ops, BD support, and projects

Requirements

• 1–3 years in operations, project management, consulting, founders-associate, or a similar role (early-stage startup experience a strong plus)
• A structured, systems-oriented mind — you naturally turn chaos into process
• Comfort with data and business tools, and the ability to pick up new software fast
• A proactive ownership mindset: you run toward undefined problems and come back with a repeatable answer0-to-1 instinct — you've built something from nothing where the spec was "figure it out"
• Fluent English (German is a plus)
• Bonus: interest or background in legal-tech, music, or rights management

Benefits

• A front-row seat next to the founder — you'll learn how a legal-tech company is actually built, sold, and scaled, from the inside
• Real ownership and broad responsibility from day one — you build the operational engine, not a narrow slice of it
• A 6-month engagement on salary to prove the fit both ways, with a clear path to a permanent role and VSOP (equity) options on conversion
• A high-trust, fast-moving environment with direct mentorship and no bureaucracy
• A modern on-site workplace in Munich

If you're the kind of person who sees a mess and instinctively starts building the system to fix it, we'd love to hear from you. Send us your CV and a few lines on why this role fits — no cover letter theatre needed. We move fast: an intro call, a working session with the founder, and a decision. Apply now and help build the engine behind Counterfight.
