The Role
You’ll sit in the Founder’s Office and act as force-multiplier to the CEO and leadership team. This is not a “coordination” role—this is an execution role. You’ll take ambiguous, cross-functional problems (GTM, product ops, compliance ops, customer delivery, internal cadence) and drive them to crisp plans, clear owners, and shipped outcomes.
If you’re the kind of person who can go from “figure out what’s broken” → “write the plan” → “align stakeholders” → “project-manage to completion” without needing permission every step, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do
CEO / Founder Enablement
•
Own the CEO’s operating cadence: weekly priorities, OKR/KR tracking, meeting hygiene, decision logs, follow-ups.
At Salient, we’re building at the edge of AI - fast, focused, and with real ownership. Sprints and major launches move quickly, and we look for people who are energized by that pace. Our team typically works around 60 hours per week, beginning at 8:00 AM, with four days spent collaborating in person at our San Francisco office.
We also offer a benefits package designed to support our full-time employees: medical, dental, and vision coverage, a generous 401(k), and catered lunches.
