## 💡 ABOUT US
EdgeComply is a product compliance service provider for manufacturers worldwide. The headache we solve: to sell products in Europe and beyond, manufacturers need certifications like CE marking. Otherwise, they risk fines, product recalls, and personal prosecution.
But the process is confusing, and the market is dominated by slow, old-school behemoths that are a pain to work with.
That’s where we come in: We are a modern, agile, digital, and fast compliance consultancy. Our Project Managers work on-site in London and are supported by a vast, highly vetted pool of remote compliance experts who execute the technical work.
## 👇 ABOUT THE ROLE

This role exists to multiply the Founder’s commercial output. As Founder’s Associate (Commercial), you work directly with the CEO on the most important revenue-related activities: qualifying opportunities, shaping deals, handling key conversations, and ensuring nothing critical falls through the cracks.

Take ownership of follow-ups, next steps, and execution after key calls
📄 Deals, Offers & Strategic Materials
Draft and iterate on proposals, scopes, and client-facing documents
Pressure-test assumptions around pricing, timelines, and scope
🔄 Momentum & Prioritisation
Ensure the Founder’s commercial priorities move forward without friction

🤝 Cross-Functional Alignment
Coordinate between commercial discussions and delivery teams
Support clean handovers and expectation-setting
