The ideal candidate combines business acumen, project management skills, and critical thinking to thrive in a fast-paced, tech-oriented environment.

Support cross-functional projects, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met. Implement processes and tools (automation, workflows, dashboards) to streamline operations. Manage and draft email correspondence on behalf of the CEO. Prepare agendas, briefs, and talking points for internal and external meetings. Join or lead calls when required, representing the CEO and company effectively. Stay fluent in the company’s technical environment and core value proposition. Understand product discussions and industry terminology to communicate with credibility. Leverage tools like Postman, Slack, and AI-powered platforms to enhance productivity. Light calendar and scheduling support. Handle follow-ups, reminders, and task tracking. Additional responsibilities as needed to support the CEO and company objectives. What Sets This Role Apart Strong business acumen and experience in strategic discussions. Comfort operating at an executive level (M&A, investor talks, scaling decisions). Ability to see around corners and manage ambiguity. Balance of operational detail with big-picture thinking. Minimum Requirements 10+ years of professional experience with exposure to executive-level decision-making. Background in consulting, project management, or operations strongly preferred. Tech-savvy, with ability to quickly learn and navigate new platforms. Exceptional organizational, prioritization, and problem-solving skills. Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. Flexible, proactive, and able to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
