Were scaling OpsArmy and building an execution engine that can grow into a broader platform. The CEO needs a high-agency operator who can take messy problems, create clarity, and drive execution across teams—fast.

- Examples: improving hiring funnel, onboarding process, QA and delivery workflows, client retention playbooks, margin improvement initiatives
- Coordinate stakeholders, unblock issues, and ensure delivery on time
3) Be the CEOs right hand on execution + analysis
- Turn goals into plans (milestones, risks, dependencies, resourcing)
- Draft clear memos, updates, and recommendations
- Bring structure to ambiguous decisions and propose the best path forward
4) Build documentation and scalable processes
- Create SOPs, templates, and playbooks so execution becomes repeatable
What success looks like (first 60–90 days)
