Junior Chief of Staff

You'll work directly with a founder or senior executive running a high-growth company in the US or Europe. Not as a task-taker. As the operational layer that keeps everything moving. You'll own the full picture: priorities, people, open loops, and decisions. You'll know what's coming before they do. You'll handle what you can without asking, and brief them cleanly on what you can't. You'll be the reason things don't fall through the cracks. This is not an admin role. It's a high-trust, high-ownership position for someone who wants to build a career in operations, chief of staff, or founder-adjacent leadership. What you'll own Track and close open loops across the executive's full workload Calendar, inbox, and communications management Meeting prep, decision briefs, and post-call follow-up Task and priority management across the executive and their team Research, structured recommendations, and scenario planning CRM management and reporting Proactive identification of problems before they surface Long-term projects with real business impact Who this is for 3 to 4 years of experience in operations, EA, founder's associate, or a similarly high-ownership role You move before being asked, and you close the loop without being reminded Strong written and spoken English, you communicate clearly at executive level Comfortable managing up: you push back when something doesn't make sense What you get Monthly salary up to R 30,000 Performance-based bonuses that can add up to 3 months salary Modern laptop/hardware provided by us Specialized training in AI and LLM tools Access to a community of automation engineers, designers, and senior operators How we hire Selection is rigorous.
