Practical Track Record Real results from work, school, trade, or serious projectsnot theory. Qualifications Must-Haves Proven capability: Degree or clear evidence of outcomes (internships, startup, military, trade, major projects). Executive-grade communicator: Clear briefs, texts, and emails; frame options with pros/cons and risks; offer a recommendation; anticipate questions; bring factsnot "what do you want?". Owned end-to-end work: You have personally done at least three of the following from start to finish: getting contracts signed and renewed; closing monthly books and doing reconciliations; submitting required filings on time; hiring and onboarding a new team member; running executive operations (calendar, travel, meeting prep and follow-up). Financial basics: AP/AR, reconciliations, cash tracking; build and follow a simple budget.

Strong Pluses Multi-entity operations experience. Regulated or aviation-adjacent work. Portfolio integration: You've helped integrate an acquired companypeople, payroll, policies, contracts, accounts. Not a Fit If You optimize for hours over outcomes; a strict 95 is your priority. You ask "What do you want?" instead of presenting options with a recommendation. You avoid owning mistakes or you soften/hide bad news. You try to do all 35 requests and finish none; prioritization is painful. You freeze under pressure or chase perfection instead of shipping. You consider "small" tasks beneath you when the mission requires them. You won't write clear briefsno options, risks, or next steps. You dislike documenting process and keeping simple SOPs current. You resist learning tools (GPT, spreadsheets, QuickBooks) to move faster. You need constant supervision and don't set or renegotiate dates proactively. You view administration as clerical, not leadership and stewardship. You're uncomfortable handling confidential info with strict discretion. Compensation: $72,000.00 - $88,000.00 per year Seeds
