Executive Business Partner to CEO

Executive Business Partner To The Founder/CEO

We're looking for an Executive Business Partner to the Founder/CEO. This role exists to increase CEO leverage, not CEO dependency.

The Executive Business Partner (EBP) is the CEO's right-hand — not a scheduler. You are one of two roles in the Office of the CEO, and your single job is to multiply the CEO's personal leverage: protect and orchestrate his time, and steward the relationships that today live in his head. You directly attack the two most mechanical constraints on a founder-led company — the calendar and relationship concentration — so the CEO can lead solely as CEO.

This is a high-trust, high-discretion role with a direct line to the Founder & CEO and exposure to the full executive team and the company's most important external partners. It is also a high-intensity seat that demands long hours and the personal capacity to keep pace with a relentless, fast-moving founder-CEO.

This role exists to increase CEO leverage, not CEO dependency. The EBP must quickly learn how the CEO thinks, prioritizes, communicates, and makes decisions so they can protect his time, prepare him well, close loops, and manage the relationship systems that enable RNGD to scale beyond founder dependency.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to prepare executive-level briefs, follow-up notes, communications, and summaries.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex calendars, executive workflows, relationship systems, and sensitive communications.
