We work 5 days in-office and half days remotely on Saturday.

Key Responsibilities
  • Run the Core Engine: Drive the day-to-day execution of projects from setting up operational workflows to ensuring deadlines are met and deliverables exceed client expectations.
  • Build and Maintain Expert Networks: Support onboarding of hundreds of domain experts across diverse industries, keeping pipelines healthy and engagement high.
  • Own Project Visibility: Track KPIs, maintain dashboards, and provide regular updates to leadership, ensuring stakeholders always have a clear view of project health.

  • Analytical mindset with comfort using spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) and project management tools (Notion, Asana, Jira, etc.).
  • Clear communicator with excellent written and verbal English.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and driven to deliver outcomes rather than just complete tasks.
You'll Thrive Here If You:

  • Can navigate ambiguity, act with urgency, and keep multiple workstreams moving in parallel.

Application Process

We understand the pain of being dragged through multiple meaningless steps. Here is how we do it. It is a 2 step process:
