Role Objective
To be the Director’s trusted right hand — protecting their time, managing the flow of information and decisions, and ensuring the highest-priority work moves forward without friction, so the founder can focus on strategy, fundraising, and technology.
Role Overview
A high-trust,
high-ownership role at the center of a fast-moving deep-tech company. You will manage the founder’s calendar, communications, travel, and priorities while acting as gatekeeper, coordinator, and problem-solver across internal teams and external stakeholders — investors, board members, government and space-agency contacts, partners, and vendors. The role demands discretion, sharp judgment, and the ability to operate independently as priorities shift with mission and funding timelines.
Why This Role is Critical for Us
The Director’s time is the most leveraged resource in an early-stage space company. A world-class Executive Assistant turns chaos into order, ensures nothing critical slips, and becomes the reliable execution layer around the founder — bringing the same rigor to the founder’s office that we bring to mission-critical systems.
