Founders Associate

Overview

XYNQ is an early-stage technology company building trust, provenance, and decision-accountability infrastructure for the music industry. We operate at the intersection of music, AI, regulation, and trust & safety, supporting platforms and rights-holders with defensible, auditable decision-making.

The company is founder-led and pre-scale, with a strong emphasis on legal, regulatory, fundraising, and operational execution.

This is an execution-focused freelance role supporting the founder across legal research, operations, sales support, and fundraising preparation. The Founder’s Associate acts as a day-to-day execution assistant to the founder. The role is not strategic, managerial, or decision-making. Work is task-based, with priorities set directly by the founder.

• Legal and regulatory research (copyright, platform liability, AI governance)
• Preparation of briefing notes, summaries, and follow-ups for meetings
• Investor pitch and partnership material support
• CRM, pipeline, and sales operations updates
• Document management and operational coordination

• Freelance / independent contractor
• Clear scope and deliverables agreed upfront

• Law degree required (LLB / Scots Law or equivalent)
• Strong written communication and attention to detail
• Highly organised, reliable, and execution-driven
• Comfortable with Google Docs, Notion, and spreadsheets
• Based in Edinburgh (preferred) or Glasgow
• Applicants without a law degree will not be considered.

This role offers close exposure to a founder operating in a regulated technology environment, with involvement across legal reasoning, fundraising support, and operational execution. Expectations are intentionally junior and clearly defined.
