About the role
Work right next to the CEO and see how a company gets built from the inside.
What You'll Do:
-
Launch new things from scratch: take an idea from a rough note to a plan, a pilot, and results. -
Help make big decisions faster: research competitors and markets, put numbers together, write short options notes so we can decide in 10 minutes instead of 2 hours. -
Be on the ground: talk to people across the chess community; help run events; find out what people really need. -
Build how the company runs: weekly reviews, dashboards, trackers, and the AI agents that take routine work off our plates. -
Work on what no one else owns: hiring, partnerships, grants and funding applications, content and social media when needed (including replying to comments and messages), and the occasional fire to put out. -
Write the important stuff: proposals, pitch documents, updates.
Some weeks are strategy, some weeks are spreadsheets and phone calls. Both matter, and you'll see exactly how a company gets built.
You'll Enjoy This If You:
-
Love taking ownership and seeing things through to the end. -
Write clearly and speak confidently in English (Tamil is a big plus). -
Like juggling lots of different things, and staying organised while you do it. -
Enjoy talking to people of all kinds, from young players to senior people in chess. -
Are comfortable with spreadsheets, docs and AI tools.
Bonus Points For: a technical or creative side, event or community experience.
You don't need to be a chess player, but if you play, coach or organise, tell us.
