Role Overview
We are looking for a highly entrepreneurial, assertive Executive/Personal Assistant to act as the central nervous system for two founders. You are the gatekeeper and the “finisher” who ensures nothing drops between the cracks of our consulting business or personal lives. This is a role for a proactive problem-solver who thrives in low-structure environments.

•
Project Management: Drive small-to-medium projects from A-Z; flag risks before they become blockers.
