• Act as a strategic partner to the CEO, supporting decision-making, preparing high-level meetings, and ensuring effective follow-through on key initiatives across the organization.
• Drive and lead high-impact, cross-functional special projects that require coordination across multiple departments and do not have a predefined ownership structure.
• Manage and reduce CEO cognitive load by prioritizing strategic tasks, filtering operational demands, and ensuring focus on high-leverage activities.

• Design and implement AI-driven automation solutions, including the deployment of AI agents to replace or optimize repetitive or manual processes where applicable.
• Lead traditional process optimization initiatives where automation is not suitable, ensuring measurable improvements in efficiency and execution quality.
• Define and track key performance metrics such as time saved, throughput improvement, and operational efficiency gains.
• Foster alignment across leadership and operational teams, ensuring clarity, accountability, and execution consistency.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in high-growth environments such as consulting, venture capital, tech operations, or similar strategic roles.

• Strong systems thinking mindset with the ability to understand and optimize complex organizational processes.
• Experience or strong familiarity with AI orchestration frameworks, automation tools, and workflow optimization approaches.
• Ability to design logic flows and understand API integrations (hands-on development not required, but strong technical intuition is essential).
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with a focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence.
• High emotional intelligence, low ego, and strong interpersonal communication skills.
• Proven ability to operate in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownership and accountability.
• Strong analytical and structured thinking skills with a bias toward measurable impact.

Benefits:

• High-impact strategic role with direct influence on company direction and execution.
