Job description

Work side by side with our founder. Own finance, investors, and operations, so the rest of the team can build and sell.

The Role

You keep Wilmo running

Every fast-growing startup has a long list of important things nobody has time for. Finance, investor updates, payroll, the recruiting pipeline, the office, team events. Today they land on our founder's desk, and too often they wait.

As Founder's Associate, you take them off that desk. You work directly with Villads, own the operational side of Wilmo end-to-end, and make sure everything runs like clockwork while the rest of the team builds and sells.

What you own

Finance & admin

Write the monthly investor update, keep our numbers and data room ready, and make sure our investors always know where we stand.

Investor relations

Write the monthly investor update, keep our numbers and data room ready, and make sure our investors always know where we stand.

People admin

Run payroll and holidays, prepare employment contracts, and make sure equipment and access are ready before a new hire's first day.

Keep our recruiting pipeline organized, book the interviews, and make sure every candidate gets a timely answer.

Office, events & culture

Run the office, handle vendors and merch, plan offsites, team events, and the conferences we attend, and fix whatever falls between the cracks.

About You

You'll thrive here if

1. You bring structure to chaos

   You make order out of messy situations without being asked. Lists, systems, deadlines. People trust you to keep track of things.

2. You're sharp and hungry

   Maybe you come from consulting, banking, or Big4. Maybe you're a recent graduate or a standout student. Either way, you learn fast and want responsibility well beyond your years.

3. You're good with numbers

   Spreadsheets, budgets, and financial statements don't scare you. You can build a model and explain what it means.

4. You take full ownership

   Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch. You don't wait for instructions, and when a task keeps repeating itself, you use AI to automate it.

5. You speak fluent Danish

   You'll work with Danish accountants, authorities, and partners every week, so fluent Danish is a must.
