About the Role
I’m looking for a sharp, highly organized, technology-forward Executive Personal Assistant / Founder Operations Assistant to help me manage both business and personal priorities.
I’m building multiple projects across AI, software, real estate technology, investor outreach, marketing, and product development. I need someone who can help bring structure, follow-through, and momentum to everything I’m working on.
This is not a basic assistant role. I’m looking for a problem solver, operator, and go-getter who can think independently, use AI tools heavily, understand software and technology at a high level, and help me move faster.
The right person will be comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where things change quickly. You should be able to take messy ideas, emails, conversations, notes, and tasks and turn them into clear next steps.

Be willing to learn new software tools quickly
Understand software, SaaS, startups, and technology at a high level
Be comfortable working around product ideas, app workflows, customer feedback, investor materials, and startup execution
You do not need to be an engineer, but you must be tech-savvy and able to understand how software products work
Personal Admin Support
Help with scheduling, appointments, reminders, reservations, and calendar coordination
Assist with local Orange County personal tasks when needed
Help coordinate vendors, services, paperwork, errands, and personal follow-ups
Keep personal and business priorities organized in one clear system
