Founder Associate / project manager (part/full/working student)

EquiMatch simplifies mergers and acquisitions (M&A) origination using AI-driven research and personalized outreach. We use AI to create a qualified target list for buyers and M&A advisors, eliminating the need for in-house analysts with no upfront costs – you only pay for successful deals. For sellers, we adopt a respectful, personalized approach aligned with your goals, be it exiting or forming a partnership. At EquiMatch, we ensure meaningful conversations and strategic opportunities by matching buyers and sellers where their interests align. Mandate project management. Drive each search from scoping through longlist, outreach, and live conversations. Know what stage every mandate is in, what the next step is, and who owes it. Program view / scrum master. Maintain one honest picture across all live mandates — what is on track, what is blocked, what is at risk, and what needs a founder to unblock it. Reporting. Produce client-facing progress updates and the internal numbers behind them: coverage, response rates, meetings generated, mandate velocity. Make the reporting reliable enough that nobody asks for a status call. QA. Run the checks that stand between our data and a client's inbox. Nothing goes out unverified. Process. Turn recurring work into documented, delegable process. Where a process can be automated or handed to an AI workflow, say so and build it. Founder leverage. Prepare client and investor conversations, capture the follow-ups, and close them. A lot of this work is unglamorous and consequential. Must be fluent in English and at least one major European language - strong preference for German. Great communication skills.
