Chief of Staff

Operations & StrategyRemote

Founder’s Associate / Chief of Staff (aka “Chief Achiever”)

Work directly with a serial founder across a portfolio of fast-moving companies

Location: Remote-friendly (bonus if you overlap with LA / HK / Australia hours)

Type: Full-time

  • The Gig
  • I’m a serial founder currently running or building across a handful of companies; an AI language-learning app (Volley), an influencer verification platform, a YouTube growth agency, a global hiring platform, and a couple more. Previously built and exited an agency to $20M ARR.
  • I need someone smart, scrappy, and AI-native sitting next to me (virtually) every day, helping me move these businesses forward. Not a project manager. Not an assistant. A doer who can pick up almost anything I throw at them, figure it out, and ship it.
  • If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem, opens Cursor or Lovable, watches a YouTube tutorial, and has something working by end of day, we should talk.
  • What you’ll actually do (examples from a real week):
  • Monday: Launch and optimize Meta ad campaigns for Volley. Test 5 new creative angles, kill the losers, scale the winners.
  • Tuesday: Vibe-code a new onboarding screen in Cursor or spin up a landing page variant in Lovable for A/B testing.
  • Wednesday: Source and cold-outreach 20 senior sales hires on LinkedIn for a portfolio company. Draft the messages yourself.
  • Thursday: Audit data quality on Verify Influencers, spot-check 100 profiles, flag inaccuracies, write a loom for the team.
  • Friday: Review a sales call recording, pull out the 3 objection patterns, draft new rebuttal scripts.
  • Basically: if it makes a business move forward and I don’t have time to do it myself, it’s on your plate. You’ll operate across growth, product, hiring, and ops.
  • Who you are:
  • AI-native. You don’t just “use ChatGPT” you build with Cursor, Lovable, v0, Claude, whatever ships fastest. You have opinions on which tool for which job.
  • Can vibe-code. You’ve built landing pages, simple tools, or MVPs. You don’t need to be a full engineer, but you can read code, ship features, and debug with AI assistance.
  • Paid-ads literate. You’ve run Meta (or TikTok / Google) ads yourself, not just read Twitter threads about them. You understand angles, hooks, CTR, CAC.
  • Ridiculously fast learner. The specific tasks will change every week. Your job is to be the person who figures new things out quickly.
  • Bias to action. You’d rather ship something rough today than something perfect next week.
  • Great judgment. You can tell when to DIY, when to delegate, when to ask. High trust, low drama. I’ll be talking to you every day. We need to vibe.
  • Bonus points:
  • You’ve built something of your own (an app, a newsletter, a side business).
  • You’ve worked at an early-stage start-up or agency where you wore many hats.
  • You have a strong point of view on growth / product / design.
  • Not for you if:
  • You need a detailed job description to know what to do next.
  • You want to specialize deeply in one function.
  • You thrive on process and predictability.

Compensation

Competitive base + performance upside. I’d rather pay top-of-market for one A-player than hire two decent people.

How to apply

  • Send me:
  • One thing you’ve built, shipped, or scaled that you’re proud of (link please, not a description).
  • A landing page, ad, or small tool built with AI tools in under a day, even a new one you’d make just for this application.
  • One business in my portfolio you’ve looked up, and one specific thing you’d do in your first week.
  • No cover letters. No resumes as the first contact. Just show me.
