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.

This Role is for You If…

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.
