What You’ll Be Doing

  • Accelerate delivery
  • Drive rapid feedback loops between prototyping, client input, and production — compressing weeks into days
  • Keep multiple parallel workstreams moving without creating bottlenecks or bureaucracy
  • Identify what's blocking a maker and remove it — same day
  • Keep leadership and key stakeholders informed with signal, not noise: what shipped, what's at risk, what needs a decision
  • Act as a force multiplier for the team
  • Create clarity and momentum in ambiguous environments
  • Identify and surface risks and cross-team dependencies before they become problems
  • Protect the team’s focus so builders can build
  • Help the team prioritize the work that matters most right now
  • Eliminate coordination overhead wherever possible
  • Treat process as a product — continuously improving it as the team evolves
  • Use AI tools (Cursor, v0, Claude, etc.) to prototype, draft specs, generate briefs, and unblock the team
  • Contribute directly to delivery rather than only coordinating others
  • Continuously experiment with new AI tooling and share what works across the team
  • Identify where AI can eliminate manual coordination overhead and implement it
  • Help scale the organization
  • Evolve tools and workflows as the team grows
  • Build lightweight systems that improve alignment without slowing teams down
  • Ensure distributed teams communicate effectively across time zones

What You Bring

  • Experience shipping real products in fast-moving startup environments; early-stage startup experience strongly preferred
  • A maker mindset — you would rather prototype a solution than write a slide deck about it
  • Strong familiarity with modern AI tooling and curiosity about how it changes how teams build software
  • You are comfortable using AI tools in your daily workflow to improve productivity and coordination
  • Strong judgment about when to move fast and when to slow down — and the credibility to call it either way
  • The ability to hold context across business, product, design, and engineering without requiring rigid handoff processes
  • Excellent communication skills — async-first, direct, and oriented toward decisions rather than status updates
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity; you create structure rather than waiting for it
  • High ownership and accountability — when something is stuck, you make it move
  • Experience working with distributed teams
