   Assist the CEO in modeling business scenarios, developing operational plans, and drafting foundational strategic documents.

5. Cross-Functional Execution & Operations

6. Priority Projects:
   Own and manage immediate, high-priority projects assigned by the CEO (e.g., launching a pilot partnership, optimizing an internal process, or coordinating an investor pitch).

7. Organizational Alignment:
   Track key company objectives (OKRs/KPIs) and follow up with departmental leads to ensure projects are on schedule and aligned with the overarching business strategy.

8. Communication Hub:
   Serve as the CEO's central point of contact for sensitive external communications and key internal coordination efforts.

9. Partnership & Business Development Support

10. Deal Preparation:
    Support the CEO in preparing materials and conducting initial research for key business development, partnership, or investor meetings.

11. Process Improvement:
    Proactively identify friction points within the company operations and propose
    actionable, lean solutions
    typical of a startup environment.
