About the role

What You'll Do

CEO / Founder Enablement

  • Own the CEO's operating cadence: weekly priorities, OKR/KR tracking, meeting hygiene, decision logs, follow-ups.
  • Turn leadership conversations into action: write crisp memos, capture decisions, assign owners, drive closure.
  • Prepare internal/external meetings: briefs, stakeholder maps, agendas, talking points, and post-meeting execution.

Strategic & Cross-Functional Execution

  • Run special projects across Product, Eng, Compliance, Sales, and Customer Success (often simultaneously).
  • Build lightweight systems: dashboards, templates, playbooks, and operating routines that scale.
  • Drive "0→1" initiatives: new customer onboarding plans, pilot definitions, KPI frameworks, pricing/packaging analysis, process redesign.

GTM / Customer Delivery Ops

  • Support enterprise deal execution: proposal/SOW hygiene, pricing models, redline coordination, mutual action plans.
  • Create customer-ready artifacts: exec-friendly updates, ROI/KPI reporting, launch comms, rollout plans.
  • Own the details on high-stakes timelines: dependencies, risk flags, escalation paths.

Compliance / Quality / Governance

  • Help operationalize compliance: tracking policy updates, QA workflows, audit-ready documentation, evidence collection.
  • Maintain discipline around change management: what changed, why, who approved, what's the rollout plan.

Internal Operations

  • Improve internal throughput: planning rituals, meeting structures, hiring process upgrades, tooling choices.
  • Partner with Finance/BizOps on budgeting, vendor management, and operational metrics as needed.

Who You Are

  • High-agency operator: you proactively diagnose problems and drive solutions end-to-end.
  • Structured thinker: you write clearly, make crisp plans, and turn ambiguity into concrete next steps.
  • Low ego, high standards: you do what it takes, and you care about quality.
  • Fast learner: you can ramp quickly in complex, regulated domains.
  • Trustworthy: you handle sensitive information with discretion.
  • Comfortable with intensity: early-stage pace, shifting priorities, and high expectations.

Preferred Background

  • 2–6 years experience in a demanding environment: startup ops, consulting, banking/fintech ops, product ops, investment/strategy, or founder-led roles.
  • Prior work with enterprise customers and/or regulated workflows (finance, insurance, healthcare).
  • Strong writing: memos, project plans, customer updates, specs.

Skills We Care About

  • Project management (real execution, not just status updates)
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication
  • Analytical ability (Excel/Sheets, basic modeling, KPI design)
  • Stakeholder management (execs + ICs, internal + external)
  • Operational rigor (process, documentation, follow-through)
