ABOUT THE ROLE
I’m the founder of OpenVet, an AI-first veterinary technology company. I’m looking for an unusually capable person to work beside me in Fort Lauderdale and become my operational right hand.
This is not a traditional administrative role. You’ll take whole projects from a rough idea to a finished result—researching unfamiliar subjects, creating the plan, coordinating people, solving problems, and closing every loop. One week you may organize an industry conference; the next you may research a new market, improve an AI workflow, coordinate a product launch, hire a contractor, or untangle an operational problem.
The right person is wickedly resourceful, writes exceptionally well, learns faster than most people, and uses AI as naturally as other people use Google.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
- Take ambiguous projects from “we should do this” to done, with minimal supervision.
- Research unfamiliar topics, synthesize the answer, recommend a course of action, and execute it.
- Plan conferences, events, travel, meetings, and other complex logistics end to end.
- Build and run AI-powered workflows using Claude, ChatGPT, research tools, automations, and whatever else gets the job done.
- Turn conversations into plans, owners, deadlines, and completed deliverables.
- Coordinate vendors, candidates, contractors, partners, and internal team members.
- Draft emails, briefs, proposals, presentations, and other communications in the founder’s voice.
- Create simple operating systems so recurring work becomes organized, measurable, and easier.
- Protect the founder’s attention by handling decisions you can make and clearly framing the few that require him.
- Handle executive-assistant work when needed—calendar, inbox, travel, follow-up—but grow far beyond it.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
After 90 days, I can hand you an important, messy project with very little instruction and trust that you will figure it out, keep me informed without being chased, and deliver an excellent result.
YOU MAY BE A GREAT FIT IF
- You have exceptional judgment, curiosity, follow-through, and written communication.
- You are high-agency: when you hit a wall, you find another door.
- You use Claude or ChatGPT every day for real work and understand both their power and their limitations.
- You can move between strategy and details without ego.
- You create clarity from chaos and notice what everyone else missed.
- You are comfortable working directly with a demanding, fast-moving founder.
- You are discreet with sensitive business, financial, and personal information.
- You have led projects in a startup, operations, consulting, executive support, events, marketing, research, or a similarly broad environment.
Formal credentials matter less than demonstrated intelligence, resourcefulness, and ownership. If your experience is unconventional but your work is exceptional, apply.
LOGISTICS
- Full-time.
- On-site in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This is an in-person role working closely with the founder, not a remote position.
- Occasional travel, including industry conferences.
- Compensation range shown is based on experience and demonstrated ability, with room for performance-based growth.
