Executive Operations Lead (Junior CEO) - Remote (Mexico/Columbia)

Executive Operations Lead (Junior CEO) — Remote

The role that changes everything (and lets the founder breathe)

This is partnership, not administration. Be the founders' right hand. Own our operating system—cadence, priorities, and follow-through—so every week ends with shipped outcomes. You'll turn messy inputs into crisp plans, set the tempo, and hold the line.

Values & Vibe (who You Are)

We want a velvet hammer: warm, fun, and human—who also ships. You protect focus with kind firmness, keep promises without drama, and make the team feel lighter even as you raise the bar. You're an amplifier for a fast, creative founder.

A day in flow (the feel, not a script)

- Two‑minute brief—what moved, two decisions, one risk
- During calls: convert talk → owner / date / next step before the meeting ends
- After: Jira updated, Confluence decision note live, polite nudges sent, a 10‑line founders' daily posted. Quiet momentum, zero drama

What You'll Own

- Cadence & discipline: weekly exec review, 30‑day planning, a single source of truth for actions, decisions, risks
- Noise → clarity: calls/transcripts → concise one‑page briefs, owners, dates, tight follow‑ups
- Cross‑team throughput: product, customer readiness, GTM, vendors, hiring—escalate early and kindly
- Founder leverage: agenda hygiene, pre‑reads, kind, decisive prioritization; fewer fire drills
- Tools & AI:



Atlassian (Jira/Confluence/Atlas) + Microsoft 365/Teams; use AI (Atlassian Intelligence + Microsoft Copilot) to summarize, route, and automate

Authority (ramped on purpose)

You'll run the cadence from day one. Scope ramps as you deliver: decline meetings without pre‑reads, protect the plan of record, re‑sequence work, and elevate early— with our backing.

Schedule (Mexico)

Works daytime Mexico/Columbia hours with 4‑8 hours of overlap to US Pacific (e.g., 11:00am‑7:00pm CT / 9:00am‑5:00pm PT), with flexibility for key reviews.

What Success Looks Like

Decision latency down. Fire drills down. Weekly throughput predictable. ≥90% of committed actions close on time—without founder chasing.

What You’ve Done

- 5–10 years in Founders' Office / Chief of Staff (execution) / BizOps / Program‑Delivery at a fast‑moving org
- Clear written communication + AI‑assisted ops: prompt LLMs well, edit outputs fast, and ship clean brief and updates
- Operator's toolkit: RAID, dependencies, workbacks, change management; influence without authority
- Education: Bachelor's required. MBA welcome but not required—outcomes beat credentials
- Stack: Jira/Confluence/Atlas, Microsoft 365/Teams, Atlassian Intelligence, Microsoft Copilot

Benefits

- Remote‑first
- Equipment stipend
- Local holidays (Mexico)
- Learning budget (ops, product, AI)
