Qualifications

• Proven experience in a chief of staff, operations lead, founder's associate, or similar high-ownership generalist role at a startup or fast-moving company.
• Exceptional written and verbal English communication skills with the ability to represent the founders professionally in any context.
• Strong strategic thinking combined with the operational discipline to execute without losing quality or momentum.
• Comfortable operating with full autonomy in a small business where the answers are not always obvious and the scope evolves quickly.

• Manage founder inboxes, communications, and follow-ups where needed to keep momentum moving.

• Own and drive cross-functional initiatives that span multiple teams or functions and require coordination without formal authority.
• Keep critical projects on track by clarifying ownership, deadlines, and next steps across the organization.
• Build and maintain internal processes, SOPs, and operational infrastructure that scale as the company grows.
• Identify operational gaps and fix them proactively rather than waiting to be assigned.
• Take on high-priority strategic projects from scoping through completion with minimal hand-holding.
• Research, analyze, and synthesize information to help the founders make faster, better decisions.
• Prepare internal reports, presentations, and communications that give the team and leadership clear visibility into what matters.
• Translate strategy into action plans that people can actually execute.
• Coordinate across internal team members, contractors, and external partners to keep commitments on track.
• Support hiring, onboarding, and team operations as the company grows.
• Serve as a trusted internal communication hub, ensuring the right people have the right information at the right time.
