About the Role

About the role

We’re looking for a highly capable Chief of Staff / Operations Lead to serve as a trusted right hand to the founder. This is not a traditional executive assistant role—you’ll be an all-around operator who can own details, improve systems, and jump into whatever the business needs.

Responsibilities

  • Act as the founder’s go-to operational partner across day-to-day priorities.
  • Organize and drive execution across projects, teams, and workflows.
  • Identify gaps, improve processes, and help create stronger team structure.
  • Coordinate tasks that are being redistributed across the team.
  • Work hands-on in business systems and operational tools as needed.
  • Support e-commerce operations, including Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, and TikTok Shop.
  • Take ownership of both strategic coordination and detailed “get-it-done” work.
  • Help establish clear priorities and accountability as the company grows.

What Success Looks Like

  • Quickly builds a strong understanding of the business, team, and operating rhythm.
  • Becomes a reliable point person who can keep projects moving without constant direction.
  • Brings order to ambiguous, fast-moving work.
  • Is willing and able to handle work at every level—from high-level coordination to detailed operational tasks.
  • Helps create a more scalable, well-managed team structure.

Qualifications

  • Experience in a Chief of Staff, Operations Manager, Executive Assistant, or similar high-ownership role.
  • Strong project management, organization, and follow-through.
  • Comfortable operating independently in an entrepreneurial environment.
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities and solve problems proactively.
  • Experience with Amazon Seller Central strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with Shopify and TikTok Shop is a plus.
  • E-commerce experience is highly valued.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • No-task-too-small mindset and willingness to get hands dirty.

Must-Have Skills

  • Experience in a Chief of Staff, Operations Manager, Executive Assistant, or similar high-ownership role with strong project management, organization, and follow-through, comfortable operating independently in an entrepreneurial environment.

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience with Amazon Seller Central, familiarity with Shopify and TikTok Shop, and e-commerce experience.

Tools & Tech Stack

  • Amazon Seller Central, Shopify, and TikTok Shop.
