About Playbook®

Playbook is building the Operating Memory for regulated industries.

In life sciences and other highly regulated sectors, companies run on thousands of written procedures, SOPs, work instructions, policies, manuals, and how-to guides. Employees are expected to find, understand, follow, and stay trained on the right procedure at the right moment. That system is breaking.

Playbook turns procedural documents into structured, usable data, making critical operational knowledge consumable by humans, software systems, and AI agents. This living layer of procedural knowledge is what we call Operating Memory.

We work with leading global life sciences companies and are building the foundational data model for procedural knowledge in regulated industries. We're an early-stage, founder-led company with high ambition, high standards, and a strong bias toward execution. Backed by some of Europe’s most renowned VCs (latest round to be announced shortly).

About the Role

As a Founder Associate, you'll work directly alongside our founders and get a front-row seat to building a company from the ground up. You'll take on high-impact projects, join customer conversations, and help set up the processes that keep us running. This is a launchpad role for an ambitious early-career generalist who wants real ownership and fast learning.

What you will do

• Own cross-functional projects end-to-end, from framing the problem to delivering the result.

• Run research and analyses that inform founder decisions, including market and competitor deep-dives, pricing, and business cases.

• Draft decks, memos, and materials for customers, investors, and partners.

• Join customer calls, capture key insights, and turn them into sharper positioning and product ideas.

• Support go-to-market efforts through outreach, meeting preparation, and follow-ups.

• Keep the founder office running by preparing key meetings, tracking action items, and maintaining the operating cadence.

What you will bring

• First professional experience in a fast-paced environment (e.g. internships in startups, consulting, VC) or a track record that shows the same drive.

• A degree in engineering, computer science, business, natural sciences, or a related field.

• A founder mindset: you take ownership without being asked, unblock yourself, and finish what you start.

• Structured thinking and the ability to turn ambiguity into a clear plan and a clear document.

• Excellent written and verbal communication in English, with high quality standards for everything you produce.

• Genuine interest in AI, enterprise software, or regulated industries, and the ability to pick up a technical product quickly.

What we offer

• Direct mentorship from the founders and full visibility into how the company is run.

• Real ownership of meaningful work from day one.

• The chance to shape how regulated industries adopt AI.

• A competitive salary.

• A clear path to grow into a senior role as we scale.
