H is building agentic AI to automate complex, multi-step tasks and unlock human potential. You will join the CEO's office as a Founder's Associate, serving as a hands-on operator who ensures the CEO and leadership team execute flawlessly on decisions, relationships, and strategic commitments. You will own five core areas: 1. CEO Agenda Management: Prepare all key meetings with context, bios, goals, and talking points. Capture decisions and action items, then drive them to completion. 2. Relationship Management: Maintain an accurate relationship tracker for investors, customers, partners, and press. Ensure every email, LinkedIn message, and invitation receives a timely response, a named owner, or a polite decline. 3. Travel & Events: Plan high-value schedules for CEO trips and conferences (e.g., 6–8 qualified meetings per city). Coordinate with GTM leads to source meetings and with the Executive Assistant to calendar them. 4. Strategic Materials: Draft memos, briefs, all-hands slides, and presentations that require minimal editing. 5. Cross-Company Visibility: Gather updates from teams across H, track key priority progress, and surface risks early with proposed solutions. Take on ad hoc strategic projects and see them through. You will work closely with the CEO and the Executive Assistant in a fast-paced, high-trust environment. Success means no relationship falls through the cracks, every key meeting is prepped and tracked, and the CEO spends zero time on logistics or chasing people. The role is hybrid (3 days/week in office on average) based in Paris or London, with regular travel to the US and across Europe. REQUIREMENTS: - 2–5 years in strategy consulting, startup operations, VC, founder roles, or associate positions. Demonstrated delivery matters more than exact tenure. - Fluent written and spoken English and French. - Proven ability to manage high volumes of competing priorities for senior stakeholders. - Proficiency with modern tools: Notion, Google Workspace, CRMs, AI assistants. - Strong soft skills: follow-through on commitments, ownership of follow-up, preparation for meetings with data in hand, solution-oriented problem-solving, ability to influence without authority, judgment on when to push back vs. deliver, calm and organized under volume, discretion with confidential information. - Bonus: experience building simple automations and using AI/automation to reduce manual work.
