About the role

This role is not for the faint of heart—but it’s an incredible opportunity for someone who wants to help build a company from the ground up. You’ll work directly with the CEO to keep the business running smoothly, solving real problems across GTM, internal ops, and data. Whether it’s refining outbound strategy, unblocking execution, or tracking key metrics, you’ll be hands-on with the work that matters most.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who thrives on ownership, operates with urgency, and wants to grow into a critical leader as the company scales.

What you'll do

Keep the Team Moving

• Drive high-priority initiatives forward–build lightweight plans, clarify owners, and maintain momentum
• Own internal rhythms–stand-ups, all-hands, planning cycles, and check-ins
• Translate goals into actionable plans without overcomplicating the process
• Manage internal coordination, shared tools, basic finance, and investor updates
• Set up and maintain simple systems to keep the team organized and moving fast
• Spot and solve operational issues before they become blockers
