Junior Chief of Staff

You'll work directly with a founder or senior executive running a high-growth company in the US or Europe. Not as a task-taker. As the operational layer that keeps everything moving.
You'll own the full picture: priorities, people, open loops, and decisions. You'll know what's coming before they do. You'll handle what you can without asking, and brief them cleanly on what you can't. You'll be the reason things don't fall through the cracks.
This is not an admin role. It's a high-trust, high-ownership position for someone who wants to build a career in operations, chief of staff, or founder-adjacent leadership.

What you'll own
Track and close open loops across the executive's full workload

Calendar, inbox, and communications management

Meeting prep, decision briefs, and post-call follow-up

Task and priority management across the executive and their team

Research, structured recommendations, and scenario planning

Who this is for
3 to 4 years of experience in operations, EA, founder's associate, or a similarly high-ownership role

Strong written and spoken English, you communicate clearly at executive level

Comfortable managing up: you push back when something doesn't make sense

How we hire
