Personal Assistant to Deep Tech Founder & CEO

Personal Assistant to Deep Tech Founder & CEO

Skylus Organization was founded to advance transformative technologies, long-horizon research, and mission-aligned ventures that protect humanity and build resilience for the future. Skylus provides executive and operational support across the Founder’s portfolio, including Aevum, a company pioneering autonomous launch and logistics systems to deliver space access and global cargo on demand.

This is an exclusive opportunity to join the inner circle of a founder building the future of aerospace, AI, and space logistics.

As the Personal Assistant, you’ll do more than manage schedules, you’ll ensure the future runs on time. You’ll move at the pace of a founder who, in the same day, designs AI architectures, engineers next-generation aircraft, leads software teams, manages space missions, and raises capital from the world’s most discerning investors.

You’ll have a front‑row seat to history in the making, from investor briefings to private dinners, from aerospace labs to institutes tackling today's greatest challenges. Your job is to orchestrate the environment around the Founder so nothing distracts him from building what matters most.

This is a high‑trust, high‑profile, high‑impact role. If you thrive on pace, precision, and presence, this is your seat.
