About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Work side-by-side with the founder/COO on strategic, creative, and operational projects that cut across the entire company
Own the preparation and delivery of key presentations, executive reports, and internal communications for the COO/CRO office
Take loosely defined problems and turn them into structured plans
Be a creative sounding board and co-pilot: research, draft, challenge, and refine ideas across strategy, culture, brand, and communications
Represent the founder's office in cross-functional conversations when needed
Spot the gaps that nobody else is looking at — from employer brand to how we onboard new countries to how our meeting culture works
Build and maintain the operational rhythm of the founder's office: tracking commitments, preparing briefs, following up on what matters.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Experience in a fast-paced environment — consulting, venture capital, startup operations, or a similar role where you wore many hats and moved fast
Exceptional taste — you notice when a presentation is mediocre, when an email misses the tone, when a process feels clunky.
Strong writing and communication skills in English — you can draft a board-ready memo, a punchy Slack message, and an internal announcement with equal ease
Comfort with ambiguity and context-switching — your Monday might be building a financial model for a new market entry, your Tuesday preparing a board deck, your Wednesday sitting in a customer negotiation taking notes on what was promised
High agency — you don't wait to be told what to do. You see what needs doing and you move
Financially literate — you can read a P&L, build a scenario model in Sheets, sanity-check unit economics, and spot when numbers don't add up. You don't need to be a finance person, but you need to speak the language
AI-native — you already use Claude, ChatGPT, or similar tools as part of how you work, not as a novelty. You know how to prompt well, when to trust the output, and when not to.
Discretion and maturity — you'll have access to sensitive information and high-stakes conversations from day one.
