§What You'll Do

  • Help build Zealot's organizational operating system from the ground up as Zealot rapidly grows to serve 20+ countries.
  • Execute high-priority initiatives end-to-end with minimal direction, from first research to final delivery.
  • Take on ad-hoc objectives across every function, whether it's standing up a new office abroad or tracking down a needle-in-a-haystack security researcher.

§Requirements

  • Relentless resourcefulness, you find a way or make one, every time.
  • Excellent attention to detail across every medium: docs, emails, spreadsheets, spaces.
  • Love of speed, you default to now and course-correct later.
  • Median or greater sense of humor.

§Nice to Have

  • Experience in high-growth startup environments.
  • Background in operations, chief of staff, or executive assistant roles.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguous, fast-changing priorities across multiple workstreams.
  • Experience coordinating international logistics, office setup, or travel.
  • Familiarity with government or defense-adjacent environments.

§You Are

  • Building something massive and civilizationally consequential matters more to you than comfort, titles, or predictability.
  • You value truth over safety in work, humor, and relationships.
  • You believe that founders and technologists disproportionately move the world forward, and that Elon is a profoundly valuable asset to humanity.
For Recruiters

Note to recruiting firms: We're looking for a high-agency generalist who thrives in ambiguity and moves fast. This is not a traditional operations role, it's a founding team seat for someone who can own anything thrown at them.
