Explicitly requires vibe-coding skills and rapid prototyping with LLMs and AI assistants to build AI-first workflows and systems.

About the Role

Lead the adoption and implementation of AI as the default operating layer for the executive office and portfolio companies, building AI-first systems, automations, and knowledge architectures that increase executive leverage and eliminate manual work. This hands-on role combines systems design, rapid prototyping with LLMs, ClickUp ownership, and organization-wide governance to scale execution and decision-making.

Job Description

Role

The Senior AI & Systems Lead embeds in the executive office and partners with the CEO to design, build, and operate AI-first systems that scale across the company and its startups. This is a high-impact, hands-on role focused on execution: designing operational workflows, integrating data sources, and shipping LLM-powered automation and tooling that materially improve how leadership operates.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and maintain executive office operating systems, turning fragmented inputs (calls, documents, notes) into durable workflows and execution models.
  • Architect and build AI-first workflows and automations using LLMs, agents, and integrations; rapidly prototype, ship, and iterate.
  • Extract, clean, structure, and persist operational data and knowledge to power AI consumption and decision-making.
  • Own ClickUp end-to-end as the execution backbone: architecture, spaces, automations, dashboards, governance, and adoption.
  • Build AI-driven analysis and reporting workflows (weekly rollups, blocker detection, execution signals) to replace manual reporting with automated insights.
  • Experiment aggressively with new AI tools and agents, define system usage standards, and scale successful patterns across the organization.

Requirements

  • Proven operator who has shipped LLM-powered workflows and AI integrations in production.
  • Fluency across multiple AI stacks and tools (e.g., ChatGPT/OpenAI, Claude, Perplexity, Manus, Lovable, Zapier/Make) and familiarity with agent architectures and code-like LLM tools (Claude Code, CodeX, OpenClaw).
  • Systems-first thinker with strong information architecture and data-quality focus; able to design workflows, data flows, and leverage layers rather than one-off automations.
  • ClickUp power user with experience building automations, dashboards, and enforcing platform governance and adoption.
  • High-agency executor who moves quickly, ships iteratively, and thrives under ambiguity and pressure.
  • Strong stakeholder collaboration, training, and enablement skills to drive consistent usage and accountability across teams.

Success Criteria

  • CEO and executive team operate inside best-in-class, AI-first systems with reduced manual follow-ups and meetings.
  • Executive time, decisions, and outputs are continuously audited and optimized by systems.
  • Company scales execution without proportional increases in meetings or headcount; systems provide real-time visibility and autonomous progress.

What We Offer (Selected)

  • Fully remote, work-from-anywhere arrangement with flexible schedule and time off.
  • Direct collaboration with the founder/CEO and access to top-tier AI tools (Perplexity, ChatGPT, ClickUp Brain, etc.).
  • Competitive base compensation plus performance bonuses tied to output and impact.
  • Clear path for long-term career growth and a culture oriented to ownership and rapid execution.
