[Hiring] Founder's Associate @Pearl

Role Description

A multi-company founder in deep tech and energy infrastructure is looking for a Chief of Staff to own the operational and personal back-office stack across two high-growth ventures.

The founder recently raised a significant seed round to build modular, factory-prefabricated solar, wind, and battery power systems for AI data centers, while continuing to lead an established creator-economy platform. The operation spans:

• Active fundraising
• A complex energy and construction supplier network
• Multi-state property holdings

Day-to-day, this role owns:

• Supplier and vendor coordination
• Full-cycle recruitment operations
• Financial coordination with CPAs across multiple entities
• Property management across three states
• Executive inbox and travel coordination

Success means the founder can hand off entire operational domains within 30 days and trust they run without him.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in a Chief of Staff, Founders Associate, Operations Lead, or senior Executive Assistant role at a seed-to-Series B startup (under 100 employees)
• Proven experience managing external suppliers, vendors, or contractors independently, including high-volume outbound phone coordination
• Hands-on financial coordination experience across one or more entities — expense management, budget tracking, and CPA/accounting liaison
• Demonstrated track record of building operational workflows and systems from scratch in an unstructured, early-stage environment
• Experience managing candidate pipelines end-to-end, including scheduling, follow-ups, and conducting screening calls
• Proficiency using AI tools with strong prompting skills to produce polished, accurate written output
• English at C1+ CEFR level for client-facing supplier and stakeholder calls

Requirements

• Property management or real estate operations experience (contractor coordination, insurance, property taxes across multiple locations)
• Sector exposure in energy, construction, infrastructure, or logistics
• Multi-entity operations experience coordinating across a parent company and subsidiaries
• Spanish/English bilingual capability
• Prior use of a US phone number or VoIP service (e.g., Google Voice, Grasshopper) for outbound business calls

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: Based on experience and skills
• Remote Work: Fully remote—work from anywhere
• Team Incentives: Recognition for maintaining 100% CRM hygiene and on-time reporting
• Generous PTO: In accordance with company policy
• Health Coverage for PH-based talents: HMO coverage after 3 months for full-time employees
• Direct Mentorship: Guidance from international industry experts
• Learning & Development: Ongoing access to resources for professional growth
• Global Networking: Connect with professionals worldwide
