About the Role

Working directly with a technical executive (usually) based in New York, NY, you'll handle complex analytical projects, building models, and conducting in-depth research that requires independent thinking and problem-solving. From there, you will drive and support the execution of those research projects.

This is not a traditional role but rather a second brain and another set of hands for an executive looking for a sharp, analytical partner. In fact, he has struggled with what to call this role. Claude.ai suggested "Chief of Staff Lite", but that doesn't feel right, either.

You have the opportunity to name this role something better.

Core Responsibilities

Partner with the technical executive to discover and execute against new business opportunities
Conduct thorough research projects across various business domains
Build and maintain financial and operational models
Analyze data and synthesize findings into actionable insights
Manage special projects requiring critical thinking and independence
Support business development initiatives with market research
Occasional administrative support

Ideal Candidate Profile

Strong analytical capabilities and comfort with data analysis
Experience building financial or operational models
Excellent research skills and ability to distill complex information
Independent problem-solver who can work with minimal supervision
Very strong written and verbal communication skills in English (regional accents welcomed!)
Internet-native with a high proficiency using myriad software products

Work Arrangement

Fully remote position open to candidates worldwide
Flexible hours with some overlap with Eastern Time (UTC-4)
Ideally full-time, but open to part-time arrangements with potential to grow
Competitive compensation based on experience, location, and skills

Why This Role Is Different

This position offers the chance to work directly with a technical and entrepreneurial executive on substantive projects. You'll be valued for your analytical capabilities and independent thinking rather than fitting into a job.

The right candidate will have significant growth opportunities as the partnership develops.

The executive is looking to grow his business interests both inside and outside of the US, and is looking for a diverse set of partners to work with.

Potential business areas to explore include (but not limited to):

Legacy business open to technology investment and/or modernization (both newco and acquisition)
Real estate (commercial, residential, industrial, mixed-use)
Industry- and regional-specific vertical SaaS (both newco and acquisition)
Video games and electronic entertainment products
Content, news, and media

Application Process

Please fill out the job application to the best of your ability. The entrepreneur does not anticipate high candidate volume as he is prioritizing quality over quantity, and expects to hire more than one individual in this role on a rolling basis.

All well-written applications will be read and responded to. Following the written application, the next step is a 1-on-1 video interview with the executive to determine mutual fit.
