Job Opportunity: Executive Assistant to a High-Energy Founder

You will serve as the Executive Assistant to a co-founder with ADHD who is building a billion-dollar startup. That co-founder is me.

Hello, I am Qazi. I am a nerd who deeply loves chess. I am neurodivergent with an extremely irregular sleep schedule; one day I wake up at 9 AM, and another day I wake up at 9 PM. I am happiest when I am sleep deprived because it usually means I am obsessed with whatever I am working on. Your role is to keep me mentally and physically energized.

I am searching for the person who will help manage my life, my schedule, my follow-through, my personal operations, and much of the chaos surrounding a rapidly growing company. Your job consists of two parts:

1. React quickly when I need something.
2. Anticipate what I need before I have to ask.

If you are exceptional, this will be one of the most important roles in my life. You will help me move faster, think clearer, stay organized, go to the gym, make better decisions, follow through on commitments, hire better people, and prevent important tasks from falling through the cracks. I operate at a high speed. Poppy generates millions of dollars per year. I have over one million YouTube subscribers. I am constantly building, hiring, launching, traveling, creating, and solving problems. I need someone who can keep up. I do not want a boring corporate robot. I want a person who is playful, highly skilled, and competent; someone who can laugh, brainstorm deeply, use artificial intelligence like a weapon, and make my life ten times smoother. You will essentially become the architect of my entire life.

My Ideal Person Looks Like This

• Fast as Hell: Your texts are quick. Your research is quick. Your follow-up is quick. Your loop closing is quick. When I give you a task, I do not want it to disappear into the void. I want momentum.
• AI-Native: You should be constantly using artificial intelligence. Examples include ChatGPT, Claude, Poppy, Notion, Claude Code, agents, and automations. Use whatever helps you move faster. I want someone who views AI as an extension of their brain.
• Systems-Obsessed: Notion should be your playground. You should enjoy building systems for the calendar, travel, hiring, follow-up, reminders, personal operations, team coordination, project tracking, recurring workflows, and AI agents. I do not just want tasks completed. I want my life to become easier because you have designed better systems around me.
• You Understand ADHD and Chaotic Founder Energy: My brain moves quickly. I jump between ideas, get excited, change direction, and see fifty possibilities at once. I need someone who can follow the thread, capture the valuable ideas, organize the chaos, and help me execute. If fast-moving creative chaos drains you, this is not the role. If it energizes you, we might be a dangerous combination.
• You Are Fun to Be Around: This matters. You will shadow me frequently. You will hear my ideas, help me think, and be involved in my business, personal life, travel, gym, chess, random projects, and intense brainstorms. I want someone I truly enjoy talking to. You should be highly competent, playful, sharp, funny, positive, and have a builder's energy. I want to see your name appear on iMessage and think, "Yes, let's create something great."
• You Are a Life Designer: You are not just booking what I ask for. You are helping design a better life. For example, if I say I want to play more chess, you do not just say "okay." You find chess tournaments, research cool locations, figure out where elite players are going, discover that Magnus Carlsen is playing in Norway, and then map out flights, hotels, schedules, and logistics to turn it into an actual plan. That is the level of performance I expect. You help me build a life that is healthier, more fun, more ambitious, and more alive.
• You Can Shadow Me and Absorb Context: I want someone who can learn me deeply. Understand how I think, how I decide, what annoys me, what excites me, who matters, what projects matter, and what tasks cannot be dropped. The more you shadow me, the more effective you become. Eventually, I want you to be able to make decisions on my behalf because you understand my taste, standards, and priorities.
• You Can Help Me Hire Exceptional People: A huge part of this role is talent. I need you to help me screen people, including growth marketers, operators, agencies, contractors, assistants, editors, and others. You should be able to help me filter talent, coordinate interviews, manage trial tasks, spot red flags, and save me from wasting time with people who sound good but are not effective.

Disqualifiers

• You are slow.
• You need significant hand-holding.
• You do not use AI every day.
• You are not systems-minded.
• You hate chaos.
• You cannot handle direct communication.
• You want a predictable nine-to-five job.
• You are boring to brainstorm with.
• You do not have an iPhone.
• You do not have iMessage.
• You use Windows. You must be exceptionally good to overcome this. So good that I would be convinced to buy you a MacBook.
• You prioritize work-life balance or have experienced burnout before. I dislike words like burnout, boundaries, and balance. Whenever someone like that enters my life, I begin to dislike them significantly. It slows me down and kills my momentum and excitement to generate and execute new ideas. I thrive on energy and momentum.

What You Will Own

• Calendar management
• Reminders
• Travel arrangements
• Personal logistics
• Life planning
• Gym consistency
• Chess, hobbies, and fun life design
• Research tasks
• Notion systems
• AI agent systems
• Follow-up tasks
• Hiring pipeline management
• Talent screening
• Inbox and message triage
• Team coordination
• Ensuring important things do not get dropped
