Job Snapshot:

This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role. The Founder's Office Associate is a high-trust, high-ownership position designed to multiply the effectiveness of our CEO and COO. While you'll deliver best-in-class executive support, the role is intentionally up-leveled to function as an entry-level Chief of Staff - driving operating rhythm, cross-functional follow-through, and project leadership across priority initiatives.

Think of it as an operator-in-training mandate: you'll get front-row exposure to company strategy, execution tradeoffs, and leadership decision-making—while building the skills to grow into BizOps, Strategy, or Chief of Staff roles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Executive Leverage & Time ROI
  • Own CEO and COO calendars end-to-end: scheduling, prioritization, time-blocking, and conflict resolution
  • Act as a smart gatekeeper - ensure meetings have a clear purpose, pre-reads, desired outcomes, and the right attendees
  • Build and maintain weekly/monthly cadence plans (1:1s, staff meetings, reviews, customer calls)
  • Manage travel logistics, expenses, and Founder's Office budgets

  •  Operating Rhythm & Systems
  • Own the operating cadence mechanics: agendas, minutes, action items, decision logs, and follow-ups
  • Create and maintain a single source of truth for priorities, initiatives, key metrics, and action registers
  • Partner with functional leaders to ensure timely closure of commitments; escalate risks early with crisp context
  • Maintain key org artifacts: contact lists, org charts, stakeholder maps, and document repositories

  • Project & Program Management
  • Drive cross-functional initiatives sponsored by CEO/COO: planning, timelines, RAID logs, stakeholder updates
  • Conduct structured research, synthesize inputs, and prepare concise briefs to support executive decision-making.
  • Track execution against goals/OKRs; highlight slippage and propose recovery plans
  • Coordinate executive off-sites, leadership meetings, and key events (agenda design, logistics, output capture)

  • Executive Communications
  • Serve as the primary coordination point between founders and internal/external stakeholders
  • Draft and polish executive communications: emails, internal updates, meeting notes, presentations
  • Handle sensitive and confidential information with exceptional judgment and discretion

    • What Success Looks Like

  • First 30 Days: Calendar hygiene, meeting quality, and travel logistics become consistently low-friction. You build trust through responsiveness, accuracy, and confidentiality. You implement a clean system for actions, agendas, and follow-ups.
  • By 60 Days: CEO/COO operating cadence runs reliably - pre-reads, outputs, action closure, and decision capture. You independently drive 1–2 cross-functional projects with clear status reporting.
  • By 90 Days: You function as a true leverage multiplier- anticipating needs, preventing issues, accelerating execution. The Founder's Office becomes a predictable system: priorities visible, risks surfaced early, follow-through consistent.

    • Must-Have Capabilities

  • Exceptional organization and prioritization—ability to juggle multiple parallel workstreams in a fast-moving environment
  • Crisp written and verbal communication—comfortable drafting agendas, notes, and executive-ready summaries
  • High ownership and bias for action—you see things through without needing to be chased
  • Sound judgment and discretion—you handle confidential information calmly and professionally
  • Project management fundamentals—planning, stakeholder coordination, risk tracking, status reporting
  • Business acumen and learning agility—you ask the right questions, build context quickly, and think in outcomes, not tasks

    • Experience & Education

  • Bachelor's degree in business, communications, engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 3–5 years in roles such as: EA/Founder's Associate, Business Operations, Consulting/Analyst, Program Coordinator, or high-ownership startup roles
  • Exceptional fresh graduates with demonstrated leadership or operations experience may be considered
  • Comfortable with modern productivity tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion/Confluence, Asana/Jira)
  • Willingness to work with time-zone flexibility given the CEO/COO schedules and global stakeholders.

    • Traits That Matter Most

  • Anticipation over reaction—you see around corners and reduce surprises
  • Structured thinking—you turn ambiguity into clear next steps
  • Calm under pressure—you handle last-minute changes without quality drop
  • High-trust behavior—accuracy, integrity, confidentiality, consistency

    • Additional Information

    Why This Role Is a Career Accelerator

    This isn't a role where you'll be filing expense reports and booking conference rooms. You'll have:

    Front-row exposure to company strategy, execution tradeoffs, and how leadership decisions are made
    Direct mentorship from founders who have scaled a market-leading SaaS company
    Clear growth pathways into Chief of Staff, BizOps/Strategy, Program Management, or Functional Operations based on your strengths
    Real ownership of projects and initiatives that shape the company's direction
