Chief of Staff to the Founder

Be the founder's force multiplier and the connective tissue across an investment platform, a venture studio, and the family enterprise — owning the follow-through so nothing falls through the cracks. About the role This is a true right-hand role working directly alongside a founder-investor whose world spans three domains at once: an investment management platform, a venture studio that builds and backs early-stage companies, and a set of personal and family interests. The portfolio is intentionally broad — public-markets investing, AI-native software companies, consumer and wellness ventures, and the family and holding structures beneath them. The mandate is simple to state and hard to do: make sure nothing falls through the cracks, and make the founder dramatically more effective. It suits someone who is genuinely a generalist, ferociously organized, and energized rather than overwhelmed by context-switching. What you'll do Act as the founder's primary leverage — triage priorities, prep him for what's next, and own the follow-through so commitments actually close out. Quarterback workstreams across the full portfolio — the investment platform, the venture studio and its operating companies, and personal and family entities — and keep them from colliding. Coordinate the recurring financial, operational, compliance and reporting cadences, and manage the outside legal, tax, audit, administration and advisory providers who support them. Support the venture and studio side: help incubated companies with fundraising prep, investor outreach and tracking, hiring, and the operational scaffolding young companies need before they have their own teams. Help run the family-office dimension, working comfortably alongside estate, tax and trust structures and treating personal matters with the same rigor and discretion as business ones. Prepare board and governance materials, agendas and follow-ups, and track action items to completion across multiple companies. Build and run the systems that make all of this scale — in an AI-native way, designing and automating workflows for research, outreach, drafting, summarization and operations rather than grinding through them manually. Take on whatever ad hoc, high-trust projects the founder hands you, from research and writing to standing up a process from scratch. What we're looking for 4+ years in a high-accountability role — investment management, a startup operating or Chief of Staff seat, venture, or management consulting — where you owned outcomes. A genuine generalist who can move from financial detail to fundraising narrative to operational logistics without losing the thread. Demonstrated AI fluency: daily hands-on use of modern AI tools and a track record of using them to do more, faster, including comfort prompting well and standing up lightweight no-code or low-code automations. Exceptional project management across many concurrent, deadline-driven workstreams and stakeholders. Outstanding written and verbal communication, with the polish and judgment to represent the founder to investors, partners, advisers and counterparties. Strong numeracy and comfort with financial and legal documents — able to read them, spot what matters, and ask the right questions. Absolute discretion with sensitive business, financial and personal information, and the maturity to operate with minimal oversight. Preferred: exposure to venture, family-office or private investment, holding company and trust/estate structures, and a builder's background of automating things and shipping tooling.
