• Serve as a liaison across departments, driving cross-functional alignment and keeping organizational priorities on track.
• Lead research and analysis on business opportunities and operational improvements, and deliver clear recommendations to leadership.
• Own executive meeting execution: capture decisions and action items, distribute concise recaps, and track ownership and deadlines to completion.
• Manage executive scheduling, travel, and logistics, either directly or by coordinating support resources.
• Support the CEO on special projects spanning operations, finance, strategy, and administration as priorities shift.

Requirements

• Demonstrated ability to run cross-functional initiatives and drive outcomes without direct authority.
• Strong written and verbal communication, sound business judgment, and comfort handling confidential and sensitive matters.
• High fluency with modern productivity and AI tools, and the ability to quickly learn and adopt new software; comfort working with data and reporting.
• Based in Austin and able to work on-site.

• Genuine enthusiasm for technology and curiosity about how emerging tools are reshaping how work gets done.
• Background in a high-growth or lean technology company.
