Founders Associate
About Zango
At Zango, we’re training AI agents to read and interpret complex regulations—turning regulation into code. In less than nine months since incorporation, we’ve partnered with world’s largest financial institutions and raised significant backing (more than your usual seed stage business) from top-tier investors.
Our mission is to help financial institutions stay ahead of regulatory change, so they can launch new products and expand into new markets 10x faster without hitting compliance bottlenecks.
High impact role
The Founder's Associate is one of those rare, high-impact roles that can look very different depending on the company, the stage, and the founder. Having hired for this role before, I know the most honest and helpful thing I can do is to give you as much visibility as possible into the day-to-day and what success looks like—while also being upfront that the role will evolve as the business grows.
This is not just a "support" role. You will be deeply involved in shaping how we win our next set of enterprise clients, structure go-to-market experiments, and respond to opportunities as they arise. We’ve outlined what the next 6–12 months are likely to look like, but we’re building this plane as we fly it, and you’ll be sitting in the cockpit.

Who we are looking for
- This one’s really tricky as its one of those roles where someone from multiple disciplines can fit into it - Start-up founder, VC, Consultant or financial analyst. So we are pretty-open about the background of the person as long as they have the skill set and attitude to fit into the role.

What should you expect
- London-based, 5 days in the office—this is a high-intensity role, and we need everyone in the same room.

Keeping up with compliance has never been simpler; automate compliance processes
