This is a foundational role inside the CEO’s office. While the title is traditional, the expectation is not.

This role requires intelligence, discipline, and humility. CORE MANDATE The Executive Assistant is accountable for:
- Maintaining executive documentation rigor
- Structuring meetings into clear outputs and actions
- Tracking cross-functional commitments

- Maintain organized, searchable documentation systems
- Draft memos, summaries, and internal briefs PLANNING & CADENCE MANAGEMENT
- Support quarterly and annual planning processes

- Former founder, operator, or builder experience OR strong analytical background (consulting, finance, research, technical environments)
- Exceptional structured writing ability
- Strong analytical reasoning and pattern recognition
- Comfort synthesizing complex discussions into clarity
- High attention to detail
- Ability to operate without ego in a support capacity
- Strong discretion and professionalism Former founders are welcome — provided they are motivated by discipline and execution, not status. CULTURAL FIT We value individuals who:
- Think sharply but act humbly
- Prefer execution over visibility
- Take pride in structured output
- Care about precision
- Follow through consistently HOW CANDIDATES ARE EVALUATED Candidates are evaluated based on:
- Clarity and structure of written work
- Analytical depth in summarizing complex discussions
