* Experience as a Founder Associate, Chief of Staff, or comparable startup operator, with hands-on ownership in founder support, strategy, recruiting, growth, or special projects.

* Ability to work independently across varied, ambiguous projects and drive outcomes end to end.

* Willingness to work closely with a small founding team in an early-stage environment.
