You will be the Founder's right hand: protecting their time, driving follow-through, and keeping priorities moving. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role with a front-row seat to how a funded startup is built and run. It is ideal for someone who wants to grow into Chief of Staff or an operations leadership role.

Priority tracking: Follow up with leadership and teams to ensure the Founder's decisions are executed on time

Investor and stakeholder coordination: Support board and investor meetings, updates, and data requests

Projects and reporting: Run special projects, prepare decks and compile weekly/monthly dashboards

Travel and logistics: Plan domestic and international travel, events and offsite meetings

Confidential matters: Handle sensitive information with complete discretion

What We're Looking For :

5-10 years as an EA, Chief of Staff, or Founder's Office associate at a startup or high-growth company

Excellent written and spoken English, with crisp, professional communication

Strong judgment: knows what to escalate, what to handle and when to say no

Proactive and takes ownership of outcomes rather than waiting for instructions

Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure

Proficient in Google Workspace, Slack, Notion or similar tools; comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude) to work faster

Integrity and discretion in handling confidential information

Comfortable with ambiguity, fast decisions, and occasional extended hours across time zones

Good to have: Experience supporting investor or board communication, exposure to a SaaS/remote-work or staffing business, basic understanding of finance or sales reporting.

Direct access to the Founder and leadership, with real influence on decisions

Rapid growth path

A fast-moving culture with no micromanagement and no pointless meetings

Competitive compensation, a performance review at 6 months, and learning opportunities

Work with a modern, AI-first tool stack
