Comfortable tracking multiple projects and surfacing what matters

Tech-fluent and able to work independently without micro-management

Bonus : experience with sales ops, product ops, recruiting, or reporting functions

Why This Role Matters

The right hire will keep the founder focused on leverage, clients, and leadership.

You will remove friction, close loops, and ensure the business runs with rhythm and clarity.

You won’t just track tasks—you’ll help drive momentum.
