## About the role

This is not a traditional support role. Our founders need a sharp, low-ego partner who multiplies their impact: someone who thinks clearly, writes clearly, owns projects end to end, and keeps their time focused where their time is needed most. You’ll spend most of your time supporting our CEO, and the rest supporting our Head of Strategic Growth. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You think clearly and write clearly. You lead with the answer. You can read a 20-page technical narrative and tell someone the decision in three sentences
- You are accurate. You check the details that can't be wrong, and you have a system for it
- You form a recommendation. When you bring a problem, you bring options and a point of view, not just a question
- You work well with minimal direction. You know when to decide, when to ask, and when to escalate, and you're comfortable working mostly in writing
- You seek truth. You raise bad news early and push back respectfully when the logic doesn't hold
- You use AI as a force multiplier. You can describe specific tools and workflows you use today and where they fall short
