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.
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.

Operations & Project Support
Drive special projects and cross-functional initiatives on the founder's behalf, including investor due-diligence coordination.
Office & Personal Support
