The Role

Be the CEO's right hand and force multiplier. Take strategic projects and run them end-to-end across growth, fundraising, hiring, expansion, customer success, and operational infrastructure, with the goal of helping the company 10x revenue over the next three months. The day-to-day shifts between customer-facing work, operational-infrastructure builds, and high-priority strategic projects.

What You'll Be Doing

• Run strategic projects across growth, fundraising, hiring, and expansion as the CEO's force multiplier
• Own customer onboarding, activation, and support for enterprise customers
• Build the operational infrastructure — processes, automations, and tools — for the next 1,000 customers
• Spec product improvements based on customer and team feedback
• Lead special projects across growth, events, and recruiting
  
  
  

Tech stack: AI-native daily usage expected — using AI tools to 10x output while maintaining high standards.

Requirements

• 1-4 years ops, consulting, or banking
• High-intensity background (consulting, banking, startup, sport, military)
• Top 1% communicator
• AI-native, uses tools to 10x output
• Low ego, jumps on bugs
• SF 5 days in-person, weekend pushes common
  
  
  

Green Flags

• Ex-IB or ex-consulting (top tier: MBB, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Goldman, Morgan Stanley, comparable) with 1-3 years and clear interest in startup operator work
• Ex-ops at an early-stage startup (pre-Seed through Series C). Direct match for the role.
• High-intensity background (D1 sport, military, elite academic competition). Strong correlation with discipline and follow-through.
• AI-native: uses AI tools to 10x output, not just experimental usage
• Strong academic signal (SAT/ACT, top university, meaningful awards). The company asks for this in the application directly.
  
  
  

Red Flags

• Wants 9-5 or strict work-life-balance role
• Pure manager / "Chief of Staff" in the corporate sense (delegating, scheduling, no IC work). The team wants execution.
• Career is consulting-only or banking-only with no demonstrated builder signal (side projects, hacks, scrappy wins)
• Pure remote preference. SF 5 days in-person is the bar.
• Big ego or status-driven motivation. The bar is low ego — jumps on the bug.
