## Job Description
## 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)
