Startup Executive (CEO Assistant)
Responsibilities
1. Cross-Functional Operations & Execution (Multi-Departmental)
- Leverage your cross-functional background (Sales, Marketing, HR, Product Ops) to track performance, align department heads, and ensure key business objectives are met.
- Jump straight into the trenches (hands-on) to plug operational gaps, temporarily cover missing roles, or restructure workflows across any department.
- Act as the CEO’s chief troubleshooter: step in on special pilot projects and sprint from 0-to-1 on new business initiatives.
2. Process Optimization & Systems Building
- Build, document, and continuously improve standard operating procedures (SOPs) to turn startup chaos into scalable systems.
3. Strategic Alignment & Executive Support
- Drive accountability across department leads to ensure the CEO’s decisions are executed with high speed and quality.

- Grit & High Energy: High-octane personality with relentless drive. You move with urgency, embrace ambiguity, and thrive under fast-paced growth pressures.
- Hands-on Execution Machine: You don't just draft strategies—you get your hands dirty, test solutions on the ground, and take pride in tangible execution.
- Systems & Strategic Thinker: Able to zoom out to understand the big strategic picture and zoom in to obsess over operational details.
- Sharp Communicator: Confident, direct, and persuasive in driving cross-departmental alignment across team members at all seniority levels.
- Tech-Savvy: Proficient in Notion, Google Workspace, project management tools, and modern AI productivity tools.
