Chief of Staff

Role overview

This position is the Founder’s operational partner, not an executive assistant, calendar manager, or general support role. You will work directly with the Founder at INFLXD, an AI-augmented services business that works with unicorns, major enterprise clients, and large-scale data platforms. The core mission is to convert ideas into execution: discussions become decisions, decisions become ownership, ownership becomes deadlines, and deadlines are driven through to completion.

You will be embedded in the company’s day-to-day operating flow through meetings, calls, dinners, travel, and other high-leverage situations. AI tools will be used extensively to help you move faster and execute at a higher standard than a typical operator.

What the role involves

You will safeguard the Founder’s leverage rather than simply managing the Founder’s schedule. The role requires a strong bias toward action, the ability to coordinate complex work across people and functions, and comfort operating with urgency and discretion.

Operating expectations

• This is a six-day-a-week position with most work expected in person in Singapore.
• Some hybrid or remote flexibility may be available when the workload allows, but the role is not remote-first.
• Responsiveness matters beyond standard weekday hours, since critical work may arise outside a Monday-to-Friday rhythm.
• You should be prepared for candid feedback and an environment that expects quick adjustment and strong execution.
• The scope can change quickly, and you may need to move between strategic, operational, and hands-on tasks in the same week.

Primary responsibilities

• Run the Founder’s operating cadence, including daily check-ins, weekly reviews, monthly board preparation, decision tracking, follow-ups, and disciplined meetings.
• Ensure every meeting has a clear purpose, every decision has an owner, and every owner has a deadline that is actively monitored.
• Protect the Founder’s time and manage communications across email, Slack, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Telegram so important information is surfaced and noise is reduced.
• Coordinate travel, events, hosting, dinners, offsites, and other logistics that keep high-pressure periods running smoothly.
• Take ownership of cross-functional work that does not naturally belong to one team and push it through to completion.
• Convert vague ideas into concise action plans with owners, timelines, dependencies, and blocker lists.
• Follow up persistently until commitments are delivered.
• Use AI every day for drafting, research, summarization, planning, automation, and execution support.
• Work independently to build useful workflows and solve operational problems without waiting for technical support.

Candidate profile

The best fit is someone who is quick, accurate, discreet, resilient, and comfortable operating with high standards and shifting priorities. You should be able to think proactively, present options instead of questions, and work confidently with confidential information.

Strong candidates often come from one of two backgrounds: a senior operator who has worked closely with a Founder, CEO, Managing Director, partner, or other senior leader; or a builder who has experience in startups, consulting, technology, operations, or founding and wants to learn by working directly with a company leader.

What success looks like

• You bring structure to ambiguity and keep work moving.
• You can run important projects from start to finish across teams.
• You are trusted with sensitive information.
• You communicate clearly on behalf of others when needed.
• You already use modern AI tools as part of real work, not just occasionally.
• You are comfortable being the person others turn to when something must be solved.

Requirements and non-negotiables

• You must be based in Singapore and have the legal right to work there.
• You should be comfortable with an in-person working rhythm and should not be looking for a fully remote job.
• You should be able to operate without needing every step spelled out.
• You should be willing to work with direct feedback and maintain high execution standards.
• Your technical comfort should go beyond basic office software.
• You need to be prepared to go deep on AI-enabled tools such as Cursor and Claude Code.
• You should not expect a predictable 9-to-5 or a fixed schedule.

Additional information

Over the course of a year, this role is intended to provide unusually deep operating exposure across how a fast-growing company is built, sold, staffed, managed, and scaled. It is positioned as a strong path for someone aiming to become a founder, step into a senior operating role, or gain broad company-building experience.

Suitable candidates are expected to demonstrate at least three of the following: direct support of a Founder, CEO, Managing Director, or senior executive; ownership of a cross-functional project end-to-end; creation of systems, documentation, or operating infrastructure used daily; work across multiple time zones; daily use of AI tools; practical experience building with Cursor, Claude Code, or similar tools; experience in a fast-growing company; handling sensitive information without issues; writing external communication on behalf of another person; or prior experience as a founder or operator.

If you want a role that is largely diary management, prefers yes-man support, or requires constant instruction, this position is not intended for you.
