- Identify recurring patterns or issues and propose solutions to the CEO.
- Attend or review meeting notes and documents, briefing the CEO on key decisions.
- Serve as the primary contact for external requests, including intros, investor meetings, and speaking invitations.
- Represent the CEO in meetings, chase actions, and make decisions within agreed limits.
- Challenge upwards by identifying tasks that should not be on the CEO's plate and suggesting alternative owners.
- Help the CEO maintain awareness of stakeholder needs for effective relationship management.
Requirements
- Proven experience as a right-hand support to a senior leader in a fast-paced business.
- System-thinking approach to problem-solving and process improvement.
- Proficiency with AI and automation tools, including setting up tools for others.
