Executive Operations (Exec Ops) Chief of Staff Track, 12–18 Months)
If you’re a highly organized, extremely self-accountable, love project management (think Trello/Asana), and desire to grow into the 2nd in command of a fast growing startup… then this might just be your dream job.
My name is Richard Yu, I’m the founder/CEO of a fast-growing education + software business.
Across all social, my media team and I have built a 1.5M+ follower platform (@richardyuzee on IG, as an example).
My #1 responsibility is to spend 40 hours/week being the talent (face of our content), and visionary (having long blocks of 4 hrs/day) where I can think about vision and growth strategies.
That means I need to spend all my time creating content, driving strategy, and making high-leverage decisions… and this is where you come in.
Your job is to protect my time, eliminate operational drag, and make sure the company actually executes.
This role is Exec Ops / Office of the CEO — think of it as a supercharged Executive Assistant with a real path to Chief of Staff, based on performance. You will be my execution arm and second brain, with high trust, high access, and high expectations.
This is not a “cute admin” job. It’s also not a glamorous strategy-only job. It’s the real work: calendar, follow-ups, accountability, systems, project management, hiring ops, and getting things done
What you’ll own (your responsibilities)
- CEO Time + Calendar (your #1 responsibility)
- Own my calendar ruthlessly: protect deep work blocks, batch meetings, enforce priorities
- Gate time, not people (you’re not allowed to be a “gatekeeper” personality)
- Turn chaos into an intentional weekly schedule that matches company goals
- Internal Communication + Follow-Up
- Run the follow-up engine: action items, owners, due dates, reminders, escalation
- Ensure nothing dies in Slack/WhatsApp/email because people “got busy”
- Draft messages/emails and internal updates so I can approve quickly
- Project Management + Accountability (across the whole org)
- Build/quarterback the company operating system (Trello/Asana/Notion—whatever we standardize)
- Every project has: owner, deadline, next action, definition of done
- Hold leaders accountable (ex: Moe accountable to deliverables, Bashar accountable to reporting cadence, content team accountable to output)
- Hiring Operations (big focus right now)
