Founder's Associate (f/m/d)

About the role

The Founder’s Associate sits directly beside the founders. This is not an administrative role; it is an operational strike-force position. You will take the highest-stakes, most ambiguous cross-functional problems off the founders' desks and drive them to execution.

Responsibilities

• Own the Core Value Narrative (ROI & Clinical Impact): Lead the data strategy to analytically prove Kyan’s clinical impact. You will structure our user-behaviour metrics and build the quantitative models that our global enterprise sales and investor relations teams use to prove our platform's ROI.
• Build our Enterprise-Grade Operational Backbone: Drive Kyan to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA certification on a single, unified control framework. You aren't just checking compliance boxes—you are building the secure, scalable data architecture required to unlock the world’s largest enterprise clients.
• Execute Cross-Functional "Special Projects": Act as the internal consultant and operator to scope, mobilize, and deliver urgent corporate priorities across product, engineering, clinical, legal, and sales.
• Inject Structure into High-Growth Ambiguity: Translate high-level founder priorities into sharp, trackable workstreams with clear ownership and KPIs, holding the line on company-wide delivery.

Requirements

• 2+ years in top-tier management consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or equivalent): You have mastered structured problem-solving, slide writing, and financial/data modelling, and now you want to actually build the things you recommend.
• Technical & Data Literacy: You are comfortable digging into data structures, framing key product metrics, and speaking creditably with engineering and product leaders.
• "Go-Through-Walls" Execution Mindset: You don't just hand off a deck; you own the outcome. When a project hits an operational snag, you find the way around, over, or through it.
• High Tolerance for Autonomy: You thrive with incomplete context. You need absolute clarity on the objective, but you prefer to figure out the how yourself.

Qualifications

Competitive Base Salary: Tiered based on location and experience level
Meaningful Equity: A generous Series A stock option grant, ensuring you hold true founder-level alignment and financial upside in the company's growth
Health & Wellbeing: Full access to the Kyan Health platform for you and your family, alongside local wellness benefits
Hardware & Setup: Top-tier remote work toolkit (MacBook Pro, external monitor, and a home-office stipend).

Benefits

• 100% Remote (With Core Hours): Work from anywhere within the Portugal to Ukraine time-zone band (UTC to UTC+2). We operate asynchronously but sync during core EU business hours.
• Compliant Employment: Contracted smoothly via our local entities or global employment partners (EOR)—meaning full compliance, local taxes, and benefits taken care of automatically.
