Part-Time Strategic Operator (EdTech / Partnerships / Executive Follow-Up)

I'm the founder of an early-stage edtech startup working with district leaders, publishing partners, and education CEOs. We're a small team moving quickly, and I'm looking for a sharp, reliable operator to help me turn AI-generated meeting notes into warm, thoughtful follow-up emails, manage a lightweight relationship pipeline, and ensure no high-leverage conversation slips through the cracks. This is not a generic VA or admin role. I need someone who can write in my voice, understands power dynamics (e.g., how to talk to a superintendent vs. a CEO), and is proactive in driving next steps without needing to be micromanaged. Responsibilities Read AI-generated summaries from meetings (Google Docs, Supernormal, or similar) Draft personalized follow-up emails with clarity, warmth, and professionalism Propose next steps or attachments (I’ll review/approve) Track and organize outreach (Google Sheets, Notion, or lightweight CRM) Follow up again if no reply — and suggest how to re-engage Occasionally help draft cold outreach emails based on templates ✅ You are A strong writer who can quickly learn and adapt to my tone and voice Comfortable communicating with senior stakeholders (district leaders, CEOs, publishers) Detail-oriented and self-managed — you’ll run the process, not wait to be told Comfortable working in an early-stage startup: flexible, resourceful, and unafraid of ambiguity Familiar with professional communication norms in North America Bonus: experience in education, publishing, or edtech Bonus: experience as a chief of staff, partnerships coordinator, or BD/sales support ⏱ Scope 5–10 hours/week to start Short-term paid pilot (2–4 weeks), with potential for longer-term engagement Flexible schedule — async is fine, just be responsive within 24–48 hours If you're someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats and contributing meaningfully to a mission-driven early-stage company, you’ll thrive here.
