--- title: 'Executive Assistant at Conduct' canonical: 'https://feeny.ai/job/executive-assistant-conduct-london-h4def3x8t17a' type: 'job' last_seen: '2026-10-16' --- # Executive Assistant at Conduct - **Company:** Conduct - **Location:** London, United Kingdom - **Employment:** full-time - **Work type:** onsite - **Posted:** 2026-10-14 - **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-16 - **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/conduct/12bb6ae4-6ed1-418e-abfd-ecc7cb0a76c7 ## Job description TL;DR: As our first Executive Assistant, you'll support Conduct's founders by protecting their time, keeping priorities moving and making the company feel sharper in how it runs day to day. It's a high-trust role, close to every big decision, at a company running faster than ever. ## WHY CONDUCT We believe the world's largest companies should move at the speed of their ideas, not the speed of the decade-old systems they run on. Today they don't. Every process change, every new product line runs into software systems layered with decades of custom code and complexity no human mind can fully comprehend. New requirements take months to ship, system migrations cost $100M+ and years of pain. We're building the AI operating system that absorbs this complexity and gives enterprises back their speed and ambition. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we've closed game-changing SI partnerships, just raised a $60M Series A, and demand is outpacing what we can service. We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work out of London and NYC. Extreme ownership, high velocity, low-ego collaboration. What you build here shapes the company and how the world's largest companies operate. We sponsor visas and are convinced diverse teams build better products, so we especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out. ## WHAT YOU'LL OWN You'll work side by side with our three founders as they tackle one of the most complex problems of our generation. Their time is one of the most valuable things we have, and you'll help to decide how it gets spent. One day that means getting a CEO to a customer in Germany. The next, it's prepping a board meeting or landing a candidate we've been chasing for months. Plans often change hourly and you'll help keep everything on track. You'll be our first EA, so you'll set the standard for how we support the founders. As we grow, the team around you might too, and you'll help shape how it works. Few roles give you this view of how a generational company gets built, and as we scale, your scope grows with us. In practice: - Help run packed founder calendars and decide what they spend their time on - Set up the meetings that move Conduct forward, with enterprise customers, investors and partners, and make sure everyone walks in prepared and walks out with next steps - Plan global founder travel and fix it fast when things don’t go to plan - Live in founder inboxes and threads, prioritising by what matters most to the business, handling what you can and flagging what you can’t - Write on the founders' behalf to customers, investors and partners, and get every detail right - Keep board and investor meetings running smoothly, from scheduling to follow-ups - Help candidates have a great first experience of Conduct - Spot what's slowing the team down and build the fix ## WHO WE HIRE You're the person everyone goes to when something needs to get done properly. You're sharp, calm under pressure and good with people, and you'd rather be in the room where decisions happen than watching from the outside. You might already be an EA, or you might be in a role where you've quietly been doing the job of one. In practice that tends to look like: - You've supported founders, CEOs, or senior execs in a high-pressure, high-excellence environment, ideally a fast-scaling startup, and you know how to keep up - You thrive when things are messy and moving fast, and you bring structure without waiting to be asked - You're smart and proactive, and you see what's needed before anyone asks - You're happy to push back, even with a founder, when something doesn't need to happen - You communicate clearly and confidently, in writing and in person, whether it's an investor, a customer or a new hire - You bring maturity and sound judgement to confidential matters - When something doesn't work, you fix it or automate it, and you'll happily pick up work that's nowhere near your job description - You have a zero-error mindset: anything with your name or a founder's on it is right first time, even on the busiest days - Speaking German is a plus ## About Conduct ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Conduct provides an AI operating system that understands, operates, and modernizes complex legacy enterprise software systems, starting with SAP. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Jan Philipp Haas (Co-Founder & CEO), Henry Thompson (Co-Founder & CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI / Software Development - **Target customers**: Large enterprises running complex legacy ERP systems (SAP), IT operations teams, and consulting firms managing system migrations. - **Mission statement**: "To make IT the innovation powerhouse of every company." ## Products & Services - **Conduct AI Platform**: An AI operating system that reads and understands custom code, dependencies, and configurations across enterprise systems. It enables system migration (e.g., S/4HANA) planning 83% faster, reduces delivery time for new features by 50%, and cuts manual system analysis by 80%. Users can "chat directly with their systems" to resolve major business issues in days instead of months. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Total Funding**: ~$72M ($12M Seed in Oct 2025, $60M Series A in June 2026) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Index Ventures (co-lead), Iconiq (co-lead), SAP (strategic investor), Creandum, Lucid Capital, Booom. - **Key Customers**: Daimler Truck, Heidelberg Materials, DHL. - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 240% YoY (to ~35 employees), actively hiring in London and NYC. Backed by top-tier VCs and a strategic investment from SAP itself. ## Competitive Advantages - **Deep Moat**: Solves the "opacity problem" of legacy enterprise code. Decades of customization have made systems like SAP indecipherable to humans and AI agents alike. Conduct's ability to read and understand this code is a foundational layer that competitors cannot easily replicate. - **Strategic Backing**: Having SAP as an investor is a powerful signal and provides unique market access. - **Founding Team**: Founders are former Palantir employees, known for building mission-critical, high-complexity data systems. ## Strategic Focus - **Current Priority**: Expanding engineering and go-to-market teams to scale the platform from its current customer base (Daimler, Heidelberg, DHL) to the broader Fortune 500. The company is also building a US presence (NYC office). - **Direction**: To become the "AI operating system" for all enterprise software, moving beyond SAP to other legacy systems, and enabling AI agents to operate on any enterprise system. ## Why Work Here - **Culture & Team**: "Every team member is a builder at heart." The team includes alumni from Palantir, G-Research, Sana, and Sequoia. They describe the work as "one of the most complex problems of our generation." - **Work Policy**: Hybrid offices in London (HQ) and New York City (NYC). - **Benefits**: Top-of-market pay, tax-efficient share options, three meals a day, private health and dental, ClassPass, Cycle to Work scheme, pension, and two company offsites a year. - **Engineering Culture**: Deeply technical and product-oriented. Open roles include Product Engineer, Backend Engineer, ABAP AI Developer, and AI Operations Engineer. ## Sources 1. [conduct.ai/](https://conduct.ai/) 2.
