Job Description
Executive Partner to the CEO
Timbuk2 AI | Cape Town (Hybrid) | Full-time
The Mission
At Timbuk2 AI, we are mapping Africa's hidden economies. We capture data from townships, transit corridors, and informal retailers to build the continent's first AI-driven Insights Engine. We empower smarter, more inclusive growth, and we're looking for a world-class operator to help us scale.
This is not a typical assistant role; this is a partnership. You will be the operational right hand and strategic force multiplier to our CEO, with a meaningful equity stake to ensure you share directly in the value you help create. Your mission is to maximize the CEO's impact by creating leverage, driving efficiency, and commanding the operational rhythm of the executive office. You will have a front-row seat to building a category-defining company and will be a critical part of the leadership team's nervous system.
What You'll Drive:
Strategic Time Management: Act as the ultimate gatekeeper for the CEO's time, our most valuable asset. You won't just manage a calendar; you will strategically align it with our mission-critical priorities, defending deep work time and ensuring flawless preparation.
Executive Operations: Command the full operational cadence of the executive office. This includes everything from complex international travel and expense management to preparing materials for board meetings and investor updates. You will own the systems that keep us running at peak performance.
Information Hub & Liaison: Serve as a critical node for communication, ensuring context and clarity flow seamlessly between the CEO, our team, and external stakeholders. You'll draft correspondence, prepare briefings, and anticipate information needs before they arise.
Special Projects: As you master the core role, you will take ownership of special projects that align with your skills and our strategic goals, providing a direct path for professional growth.
This Role is for You If…
You're a 'Giver' by Nature: You derive professional satisfaction from enabling the success of others and the team. You understand that your impact is measured by the leverage you create.
You're a Master of 'Code-Switching': You can communicate with unflappable poise, whether you're liaising with an international investor, a key client, or our engineering team.
You're Relentlessly Resourceful: You don't just identify problems; you present solutions. You thrive in ambiguity and are energized by the challenge of finding a path forward.
You're an Obsessive Optimizer: You have a deep-seated need to build elegant systems and improve processes, saving time and eliminating friction for everyone.
You Operate with Unquestionable Discretion: You are a vault. Your integrity and ability to handle highly confidential information are absolute.
You likely have 5+ years of experience in a high-growth, demanding environment (startup, VC, consulting) where you've directly supported senior leadership.
