Job description

Personal Assistant to Deep Tech Founder & CEO

Skylus Organization was founded to advance transformative technologies, long-horizon research, and mission-aligned ventures that protect humanity and build resilience for the future. Skylus provides executive and operational support across the Founder’s portfolio, including Aevum, a company pioneering autonomous launch and logistics systems to deliver space access and global cargo on demand.

This is an exclusive opportunity to join the inner circle of a founder building the future of aerospace, AI, and space logistics.

As the Personal Assistant, you’ll do more than manage schedules, you’ll ensure the future runs on time. You’ll move at the pace of a founder who, in the same day, designs AI architectures, engineers next-generation aircraft, leads software teams, manages space missions, and raises capital from the world’s most discerning investors.

You’ll have a front‑row seat to history in the making, from investor briefings to private dinners, from aerospace labs to institutes tackling today's greatest challenges. Your job is to orchestrate the environment around the Founder so nothing distracts him from building what matters most.

This is a high‑trust, high‑profile, high‑impact role. If you thrive on pace, precision, and presence, this is your seat.

Key Responsibilities

Personal & Tactical Support

• Manage a complex calendar, integrating personal, professional, and social commitments.
• Coordinate personal logistics (errands, vendor management, appointments) and ensure seamless integration between personal and professional domains.
• Ensure office setups, workspaces, and daily environments run smoothly.
• Plan and align family activities and events with the Founder’s schedule.

Professional & Strategic Support

• Act as gatekeeper, filter inbound requests and elevate only what matters.
• Work closely with Aevum’s leadership team to ensure alignment with Founder’s priorities.
• Prepare agendas, reminders, and briefing notes for key meetings.
• Track expenses and reconcile with accounting.
• Support small professional‑social events (investor dinners, think‑tank engagements).

Project Management & Executive Support

• Oversee task tracking and follow‑ups across leadership, ensuring projects move forward on time.
• Maintain visibility into priorities, deadlines, and dependencies using workflow management tools.
• Create clear checklists, reminders, and workflows that keep the Founder and team aligned.
• Anticipate bottlenecks, flag risks early, and drive resolution by coordinating with the right people.
• Ensure accountability loops are closed, every task assigned is tracked through to completion.
• Oversee administrative staff.

Travel & Logistics

• Plan and book complex travel (domestic + international).
• Anticipate issues and resolve them in real time.
• Ensure seamless logistics across professional, personal, and family domains.

Brand & Values Alignment

• Maintain awareness of context, tone, and optics to ensure alignment with the humanity‑first, protector ethos of Skylus and Aevum.
• Uphold confidentiality and discretion at all times.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a supporting high‑performance founders or executives in a technical or highly regulated industry.
• Experience supporting senior executives or founders; familiarity with startups, tech, or aerospace/defense a plus.
• Exceptional organizational and multitasking skills; polished communication.
• High discretion, loyalty, and professionalism with sensitive matters.
• Social fluency — able to represent the Founder and organization with elegance and composure.
• Comfortable working in a small team.
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, high‑intensity environment.
• Based on Los Angeles or Orange County; flexible for irregular hours and travel.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in relevant field
• 7+ years of relevant industry experience

About the Founder

The Founder of Skylus Organization and Aevum has been building at the frontier his entire life. At 16, he engineered a car from the ground up that was featured on magazine covers. By 20, he had graduated with dual degrees in physics and mathematics in just two years and already published peer‑reviewed papers on nuclear rocket propulsion and autonomous spacecraft.

He went on to work directly for multiple billionaires in aerospace and technology before founding Aevum at 24. By 27, he had won select U.S. Department of Defense contracts against billionaire‑backed competitors, proving that deep technologies could succeed without legacy infrastructure or billionaire patronage.

He also serves on national security and presidentially appointed advisory boards, helping shape U.S. national security priorities and future legislation for commercial space. These roles place him at the intersection of policy, security, and innovation, ensuring his technologies align not just with today’s missions but with the long‑term needs of the nation and humanity.

But what defines him most is not competition or influence, it’s protection. From childhood, he has carried a deep instinct to guard and defend others. His companies are an extension of that ethos: built on the belief that technology can extend human compassion and our will to help each other. In a world too often driven by power and status, he is determined to provide a counterexample, proof that innovation can serve humanity first.

Today, he leads his teams in designing unmanned aircraft, next‑generation AI systems, and orbital space missions, often all in the same day. As his Personal Assistant, you will ensure the machine around him runs flawlessly, so he can focus on building the future in service of humanity’s most urgent needs.

To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
