Executive Operations & Strategy Intern

About the Role

We're looking for an Executive Operations & Strategy Intern who wants to work at the center of a fast-moving startup — not just observing, but actively enabling the C-Suite to move faster and smarter.

You'll take ownership of making sure every meeting, pitch, and stakeholder interaction is prepared, structured, and followed through. This means dealing with incomplete information, shifting priorities, and tight timelines where clarity is your job to create.

You'll work closely with the C-Suite and team leads to build the systems, materials, and context that keep the whole company aligned. Your work won't sit in a folder. It will be used in real meetings, real pitches, and real decisions.

If you're someone who enjoys bringing order to chaos, communicating clearly under pressure, and making things happen without being asked twice — this role will push you in the right ways.

What You Will Do

• Build and maintain pitch decks for investor, partner, and client meetings

• Prepare pre-meeting briefs (context, attendees, objectives, talking points) before every C-Suite meeting

• Create call artifacts and post-meeting summaries

• Manage and organize shared context systems so the whole team is aligned

• Research counterparts, companies, and opportunities ahead of key meetings

• Track action items and follow-ups from leadership meetings

• Draft internal communications, memos, and reports

• Support OKR and goal tracking across teams

• Maintain the company's knowledge base and documentation

• Coordinate cross-functional projects and flag blockers to leadership

What We're Looking For

• Strong written communication and storytelling ability

• Detail-oriented and proactive — anticipates what's needed before being asked

• Quick adaptation learner — able to pick up new tools, contexts, and priorities fast

• Must be able to leverage the latest AI tools to get things done smarter and faster

• Background in business, communications, or strategy

• Startup-curious, fast learner, thrives in ambiguity

Founding Mindset

• You think in terms of outcomes, not tasks

• You ask "what does leadership need to walk in prepared?" before every meeting

• You take ownership of clarity — if context is missing, you find it

• You balance thoroughness with speed

• You proactively flag misalignment instead of waiting for it to become a problem

Bonus

• Experience supporting high performance startup founders

• Familiarity with project management or ops tools (Notion, Linear, Asana, etc.)

• Experience in a startup or fast-paced environment

• Able to vibe code — can use AI-assisted coding tools to build quick solutions without a formal engineering background

What Success Looks Like Within 4–6 weeks, you should be able to:

• Own the pre-meeting preparation process for C-Suite meetings end-to-end

• Produce pitch decks and briefs with minimal direction

• Build a shared context system the team actually uses

• Reduce information gaps that slow down decision-making

What You'll Get

• Direct exposure to C-Suite decision-making and strategy

• Hands-on experience building real business materials under real constraints

• A portfolio of work that shipped — not just drafts

• A strong foundation for roles in operations, strategy, or chief of staff tracks

• Work directly with the founder and get a front-row seat to how a startup is built

• An opportunity to speed up your entrepreneurial journey

Who This Is Not For

• If you wait to be told exactly what to do

• If you're uncomfortable with ambiguity or shifting priorities

• If you prefer structured, low-stakes environments

• If you're looking for a low-intensity internship

Who Will Thrive Here

• Operators who find clarity in chaos

• People who communicate proactively and concisely

• High-agency individuals who take ownership without being asked

• Anyone who gets satisfaction from making a leader's day run smoother
