About the Client A New York–based, early-stage startup in the e-commerce and IT space is building AI-powered tools that help individuals, households, and solo entrepreneurs live more sustainably. The founder is a busy operator balancing company building and home life and needs reliable, proactive support. The company values privacy, impact, and execution, and is growing a community of early adopters while refining its product and operations.Why does this role exist?The founder urgently needs a proactive, reliable assistant to take ownership of recurring personal, administrative, social media, and e-commerce tasks without extensive hand-holding.
