Sovereign-scale infrastructure, at lightspeed. Backed by Space Capital.
About the role
Own the founders' calendars: complex, shifting schedules across three founders and multiple time zones, prioritized ruthlessly, with focus time protected. Own travel end-to-end: domestic and international flights, hotels, ground, agendas, and the last-minute changes, so a trip is never a distraction.
What they're looking for
- You've done this at a fast-moving, high-growth technology company, and you know what it takes to support leaders who operate at speed
- Anticipatory and proactive - you see around corners, prepare for what's next, and solve problems before they're raised. You are never strictly reactive
- Ruthlessly organized and detail-obsessed. Nothing slips: not a flight, not a receipt, not a package, not a guest
- Calm and resourceful under pressure, and able to turn on a dime when plans change
- A warm, clear communicator with a genuine service mindset - and the discretion to be trusted with sensitive schedules, travel, and information
- Low ego, high ownership. You take pride in a well-run office and a well-run day
More about this role
The founders' time is the company's scarcest resource. Someone has to guard it, and see the problem before it becomes one. That someone is you. You run their calendars, their travel, and the office itself, and you stay a step ahead so the day runs on time and nothing reaches them as a fire. This is not a reactive role. It is anticipation, and it is yours.
Who We Are
First Order Effects (FOE) is building America's Infrastructure Prime for the robotic era. Autonomous ships, drones, and robots are rewriting how the world moves, fights, and builds - but none of them work without infrastructure to power them, connect them, and launch and recover them. That's what we build.
We've Built Cutting Edge Systems at Legendary Companies
Our team comes from SpaceX, Anduril, Saronic, Lockheed Skunk Works, Forterra, and Fuse Energy. Before founding FOE, we built satellite ground stations that closed a national comms gap in days, deployed multi-megawatt power systems at commercial speed, and shipped autonomous surface vessels into Navy fleet production. We've built infrastructure at lightspeed before - now we're applying that playbook to an entire company.
