I'm John, CEO of WindBorne. I have more things I want to do than time to do them, so I need two functions covered: a chief of staff who is real operating leverage — taking meetings in my place, moving things forward without me, making calls on my behalf — and the EA work of calendar, travel, and the small well-defined tasks.
The complication is AI. It can do a lot of what an EA does, but not everything, and humans are still really valuable in a lot of ways. What I actually want is a combination: a human plus AI automations, where the human can close the feedback loop and build the automations themselves. The catch is that building those automations usually takes a software engineer, and a traditional EA usually won't know how.
I don't know what the right setup is yet — a person, software, or some mix. Part of this job is helping me figure that out, and you may have to do EA-like work until we do. Right now one of our software engineers is filling in as my chief of staff, and his engineering skills are too valuable elsewhere.
Take meetings in my place with anyone: an investor, a big potential customer, someone senior in government, a CEO who wants to partner with us
Fill the gaps and be a reliable EA for me when I need it
Juggle a lot of miscellaneous work and keep it organized
Own our most important decks. Build high-quality slides quickly yourself, and drive the ones you don't write — a board meeting where each executive owns a section, and someone has to chase every one of them to done and make sure the finished deck holds together
Learn my point of view and the reasoning I'd apply, so you can make calls on my behalf
Build actual automated systems with AI — not just prompt it — to take over more of the support function over time
Learns new things fast and can show real understanding of complex subjects quickly
Excellent at slide decks, and at project-managing a deck across people who don't report to you
Scrappy, with strong follow-through and meticulous attention to detail
Calm handling a lot at once, and genuinely organized
Gets good work out of AI models. You don't need a software engineering background — this can be learned on the job — but you do need to find this changing landscape interesting
Comfortable in a spreadsheet and in a team chat tool (we run on Zulip) Nice to have: startup or high-growth experience, engineering fluency, U.S. citizenship.
