Chief of Staff at Poppy AI
I need a Right Hand. A Life Architect. A Chaos Operator.
Not someone who just supports the mission, someone who amplifies it.
TLDR: THE RIGHT PERSON
✅ Fast as hell. Texts back quick. Follows up quick. Closes loops quick.
✅ AI-native. ChatGPT, Claude, Poppy, Notion, Claude Code, agents, automations, you use whatever makes you 10x faster. Every. Single. Day.
✅ Systems obsessed. Notion dashboards, hiring pipelines, SOPs, AI workflows, travel systems, you don't just tolerate structure, you build it.
✅ Goofy + highly competent. You can crack jokes, go deep on a brainstorm, and still execute like an absolute monster.
✅ High energy. Fast-moving founder chaos doesn't scare you. It fuels you.
✅ Life architect energy. You're not just booking my flights. You're helping me design a more interesting, more intentional, more legendary life.
✅ Talent filter. You can help me screen operators, growth people, agencies, and contractors, and save me from people who sound great but aren't.
✅ Shadow mode. You want to learn how I think, what I care about, and eventually make calls on my behalf because you know my taste.
What This Role Actually Is
You are the strategic brain behind my operation. An extension of my brain.
Not an order-taker. Not a task-executor. A thinker.
Here is what I expect from you day to day:
Thinks ahead — you spot problems before they ever reach me
Builds systems — recruiting, operations, processes — you build them from scratch
Researches & decides — you find best practices and bring them in, I don't have to go looking
Manages the EA — you delegate execution downstream so nothing falls through the cracks
Output: leverage — you multiply what I can think about, decide, and build
The EA handles execution. You handle everything that makes execution possible.
You: "Here's how we should recruit."
EA: "I'll post the job and coordinate the interviews."
That's the dynamic. You design the play. They run it.
Your success will be managed by leverage created, NOT tasks completed.
