## About the role

This role works directly with the CEO on the hardest problems in the business, with a seat in everything substantive: biz ops, growth, strategic projects, investor materials, M&A diligence, and whatever becomes most urgent that week.

## What they're looking for

- Raw analytical horsepower, you think in systems
- A bias toward action — you move toward execution, not away from it
- Energized by complexity rather than rattled by it
- You've worked in high-intensity analytical/operational roles (banking, consulting, PE, high-growth startups) and thrived
- You want exposure to every part of building a company — and you're willing to work for it
- Nice to have: insurance, fintech, or regulated-industry experience, prior work directly with founders or C-suite, familiarity with AI/automation tooling, prior startup or 0→1 experience
