Founder’s Associate (Research, Content, & Strategic Ops)

ABOUT THE ROLE
I am a former venture-backed tech CEO. I am looking for a High-Agency Executive Assistant to act as my "Force Multiplier." This is not a typical VA role; you will be my partner in managing a growing portfolio of business ideas, investment research, content creation, and personal logistics.

You will be my right hand, moving seamlessly between high-level strategic thinking and the granular execution required to get projects off the ground. You must be comfortable with the "Full-Stack" of support: no task is too big (e.g., "Research this market for a potential investment") and no task is too small (e.g., "Find the contact emails for these 50 people").

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

- Strategic Research & AI Synthesis: Investigating new investment opportunities or content topics. You will use AI tools (Perplexity, Claude, ChatGPT) to dive deep into a niche, verify the data, and synthesize findings into concise, decision-ready memos.
- Project Execution & Data Mining: Managing the "manual" parts of a project—scraping email addresses, managing lead lists, and cleaning up spreadsheets. You should know how to use AI and automation tools to speed up these "grunt work" tasks without sacrificing 100% accuracy.
- Talent Scouting: Leading the hiring process for other contractors—using AI to help draft scorecards, screen resumes for key signals, and coordinate interviews.
- Content & Media Support: Basic podcast/video editing (using tools like Descript or similar) and Canva design. You are tech-savvy and learn new software/AI agents in minutes, not hours.
- Lifestyle & Executive Ops: Calendar defense, complex travel planning (with Plan B and C), and keeping my personal logistics 100% organized.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- 5+ years as a senior Virtual Assistant or Executive Assistant, ideally supporting founders or CEOs.
- AI-Fluent: You already use LLMs and AI research tools daily to augment your work. You know how to prompt effectively to get high-quality outputs.
- Outcome-Oriented: You think in results, not just hours worked.- Highly resourceful online researcher.
