Numerous PLM and ERP systems in manufacturing companies create a fragmented and siloed system landscape - engineering, procurement and other functions work on different data. Engineers can't find existing parts, so they create new ones, because it's faster to create a new part than to find an existing one. The result: complexity, variant proliferation and parts proliferation across the component portfolio.
Our founders Helena (CEO) & Ian (COO) have lived this problem for over 15 years, working with companies like SEW-Eurodrive, Terex, Bosch and Carl Zeiss. We co-founded Resourcly, a Project A-backed industrial tech start-up to help industrial manufacturers streamline complex portfolios to improve EBIT while preventing the same parts from being designed, bought and stocked twice.
With our solution, we want to solve industry problems that we have tried to address for the last decade in the manufacturing companies we worked for, but that have so far been out of reach.
Complex processes and products, siloed engineering and purchasing data and a lack of intelligent automation have remained the industry's most pressing challenge. With LLMs and agents, we finally have the tools to solve this: our AI reads what is actually inside a part - technical drawings, 3D models and datasheets, not just part numbers - and connects it with ERP data to create a golden record with contextual understanding across millions of parts in a global manufacturing company.
Our vision is that future purchasing and engineering processes will be orchestrated and run by an AI workforce, ensuring reliable and cost-efficient procurement and flow of goods in an uncertain and complicated world with fragile supply chains.

💰 Backed by one of Europe's top early-stage funds (Project A)
📈 Scaling from Europe's largest manufacturers to hundreds of them
Our goal is to build a small, but excellent team, therefore we are looking for a Founders Associate, Legal & Operations. If you are excited to work in a very early-stage environment alongside the founding team, to build our legal function from scratch, and to set up the operations a scaling company runs on, please reach out.
As our Founders Associate, Legal & Operations, you build Resourcly's legal function from day one, and then the operating backbone that lets the company scale.
You own legal end to end: the commercial contracts with some of Europe's largest manufacturers, our IP, the legal side of our financing rounds and public funding, employment, data protection and corporate housekeeping. You work side by side with Ian, our COO and Co-Founder, decide what we handle in-house and what goes to external counsel, and manage counsel to our standard rather than theirs.
From there the mandate widens to everything that has to be true for a company to scale: the internal processes and tool landscape, the compliance and certifications enterprise customers expect, and new entities and offices as we expand internationally.
And you go beyond legal. You step into finance and operations wherever the company needs you, from supporting future Series A and grant applications to budgeting, reporting and the tools we run on. No prior experience in finance or operations is required, only the drive to learn fast and own it.
This is a broad, high-trust role with a clear path into leading legal or operations as the company grows. You report directly to Ian and work closely with Helena (CEO), Nils (Chief of Staff), and our external advisors and counsel.
