Our Founder is highly creative and visionary, moving across many ideas, people, projects, and opportunities. We need someone exceptionally organized, intelligent, proactive, emotionally grounded, and comfortable with technology and AI who can turn that creative energy into clarity and forward movement.
THE ROLE
Your core responsibility:
Make the Founder dramatically more effective.
You’ll organize priorities, track projects and commitments, coordinate people, prepare decisions, capture important information, and proactively resolve issues without waiting to be asked.
This goes well beyond traditional administrative support. We want someone who develops a deep understanding of the Founder, TrueNorth, its people, projects, and priorities.
You should naturally think:
“What needs to happen next, and how can I move it forward?”

Track projects, deadlines, owners, and next actions
Coordinate team members, vendors, contractors, advisors, and partners
Help oversee operations at our Venice / Abbot Kinney location
Prepare meetings and capture decisions and commitments
Turn conversations and ideas into actionable next steps
Research issues and present clear recommendations
Use ChatGPT and other AI tools extensively for research, synthesis, organization, and workflow
Identify stalled or overlooked issues and get them moving
Protect the Founder’s time for vision, strategy, relationships, and creative direction
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You are:
Extremely organized — you enjoy creating clarity from complexity.
Proactive — you see what needs attention and act.
Intelligent and curious — you learn quickly, ask good questions, and synthesize information clearly.
Grounded and emotionally intelligent — warm, calm, discreet, and comfortable with many personalities.
Excellent at follow-through — commitments don’t disappear.
Comfortable with AI — ideally already using ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools.
Comfortable supporting a visionary Founder — able to translate rapidly evolving ideas into priorities and action.
Ideally, you have 5+ years of experience supporting a founder, entrepreneur, executive, family office, startup, investment firm, or similarly complex environment.
