ABOUT US

Our Family Office (FO) is, and will always be, focused on a single goal: building and investing in things that change the world (as cliché as that may sound). We are a "Go Big or Go Home" organization and we operate with a "Be The BEST or Don't Do It At All" mindset. Our structure is all about being dynamic, agile, and opportunistic, enabling us to capture and create value in ways no one else can. As such, we are building a massive portfolio of companies that span every possible market segment and industry on Earth, including, but not limited to:

• Technology & Internet of Things (IoT)
• Real Estate & Hospitality
• Media & Entertainment
• (e)Sports & Gaming
• Retail & (e)Commerce
• Food & Beverage
• Healthcare & Wellness
• FinTech & Banking
• Financial Services
• Insurance
• Investment Firms
• Incubators & Accelerators
• Management & Consulting
• Transportation & Logistics
• Energy & Infrastructure
• Farming & Agriculture
• And many more...

This is exactly why we are looking for the most dynamic, versatile COO & Right-Hand Business Partner that we can possibly find.

OUR FOUNDER & CEO

Our FO is run by our Founder & CEO, who is a highly-entrepreneurial, vision-driven Systems Engineer (SE) who specializes in Systems Intelligence (SI), Design-Thinking, and Strategy & Operations. He is a highly-cerebral, slightly extroverted introvert who spends very little time talking and much more time listening, observing, and learning. He is incredibly optimistic, pragmatic, and substantive, meaning he is focused on worthwhile substance rather than BS fluff or nonsense. There are three things he absolutely hates wasting: time, money, and opportunities. Inefficiencies are what keep him awake at night, while solving complex problems with "simple" solutions, at scale, is what puts him at ease. His proprietary Systems Intelligence Framework is what we will be leveraging to create an extraordinary amount of value across our entire portfolio.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As his COO & Right-Hand Business Partner, our Founder & CEO will be heavily relying on you to be his trustworthy Right-Hand Business Partner, Executor, and Confidant. You will be the backbone of our operations, the strategic mind that turns our visions and ambitions into reality, and the Partner who stands tall and firmly by our Founder & CEO through every single challenge and triumph, without ever wavering (even when things get tough). You will be operating in an extremely complex, fast-paced, aggressive and ambitious environment, in which you will own and spearhead a number of functions and will balance the requirement to be very hands on, while also being highly strategic. These responsibilities will include fully understanding and overseeing our entire portfolio, playing a pivotal role in making sure each and every company achieves and exceeds their goals. This will be done by assisting them with every single aspect of their operations, including, but not limited to:

• Operational Strategy & Corporate Development
• Finance, Investor Relations & Capital Formation
• HR & Team Building
• Systems Engineering & Design-Thinking (highly-preferred)

INTANGIBLES WE VALUE & ARE LOOKING FOR

Beyond being a Swiss Army knife, we are looking for someone who possesses the following intangibles:

• Passionate & Ambitious - You love building world-class companies and teams, and are highly proficient in ALL elements of doing so. You have a passion for, and experience with, diverse business systems and environments, high-level strategizing, operational optimization frameworks, finance and capital raising, navigating complex legal environments to maximize sustainable competitive advantage and long-term growth/profitability, etc.
• Brilliant & Strategic - You are incredibly intelligent; you know it and so do the people around you, yet you maintain a strong sense of humbleness and humility that allows you to be a very effective team player and leader of other brilliant and ambitious people. You move fast, constantly challenge the status quo, and play the chess game many moves ahead.
• Highly-Organized & Efficient - You are proficient at establishing personal and professional operating systems to manage large amounts of complexity, and are capable of implementing and executing strategies at an exceptionally high level in environments of rapid change, high pressure, and extraordinary complexity.
• Executive Leader & Connector - You have a natural style of leadership that attracts highly talented people and inspires them to discover, attack, and conquer seemingly impossible tasks/obstacles, both individually and as a team. You have an unparalleled rolodex of connections (i.e. 1 degree of separation), as well as a loyal/trustworthy group of people that follow you wherever you choose to go. You are a great judge of talent and character, and are a strong force for creating an unstoppable, world-class, winning culture.
• Relentless Work Ethic - You have deep internal motivation to win and succeed, and have a clear track record of perseverance and accomplishment under extremely challenging circumstances. You achieve things when and where others simply cannot (i.e. a "get sh** done, no matter what it takes" mentality), and you are at a place in your life where you are prepared to dedicate yourself to your work, not because you have to, but because you want to; it is a passion and obsession, and you are truly ready to build something extraordinary and meaningful on a global scale.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND

When it comes to your professional career, our Founder & CEO wants a COO & Right-Hand Business Partner who is known for flat out getting sh** done, delivering results, and exceeding expectations in ways no one else can, regardless of what is asked/required of you. That being said, he prefers a candidate with the following experience:

• High-level operational expertise as a COO (or similar executive role) within an industry-leading consulting/management or investment firm, where you were directly responsible for assisting clients/portfolio companies in all things growth and optimization, including but not limited to: business strategy and operations, capital raising, executive/leadership team building and HR, corporate development, marketing and communications, etc.
• High-level finance and capital raising expertise, ideally having been directly responsible for individually raising, or building teams that have raised, well over $5B in capital commitments for clients/portfolio companies (private and public), funds, SPVs/SPACs, investment opportunities, etc.;
• A robust rolodex and talent pipeline (i.e. 1 degree of separation) comprised of highly-influential colleagues and connections, including but not limited to: business builders/operators, investors, influential figureheads, etc., all of whom implicitly trust you, your reputation, and track record, and can help you achieve any task;
• Solid understanding of FOs, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Venture Capital, Hedge Funds, Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs), Private Placement Firms/Agents, etc., with experience discussing forward-thinking investment strategies and opportunities, complex investment structures, and critical operational aspects of an investment management firm;
• Extensive experience working with and reporting directly to Founders / CEOs, with a list of very strong references from those executive leaders, as well as a proven track record of helping those leaders innovate, disrupt and deliver exponential growth and value;
• An incredibly strong business acumen, coupled with "systems-based" thinking and strategic analysis experience;
• Highly-effective presentation and communication skills (verbal and written).

COMPENSATION

Our Founder & CEO is willing to pay whatever it takes to attract and retain the individual that he feels he can truly rely on to be his most trusted business partner, right-hand executor and confidant. The compensation package for this role will be well above the industry average, but it will directly reflect the performance and results that we expect and demand from you. It will include an incredibly strong base salary commensurate with your experience (in addition to annual bonuses based on your performance and results), full benefits (i.e. medical, dental, vision, etc.), as well as an aggressive profit sharing plan derived from our FOs ownership stakes in all of our portfolio companies, which enables you to participate in a range of liquidity events.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

This is NOT a run-of-the-mill role or opportunity. It will be the most demanding, yet rewarding position you've ever had. So, all things considered, if you feel you are the COO & Right-Hand Business Partner our Founder & CEO is looking for, then we would love to hear from you. Due to the large number of applications we are receiving across multiple recruiting channels, we ask that you PLEASE ensure that your résumé accentuates relevant experience, ideally including a cover letter that explicitly details how and why you are the perfect COO & Right-Hand Business Partner, Executor, and Confidant for our Founder & CEO to rely on. This is your opportunity to take part in building some of the most innovative and disruptive companies the world has ever seen, so give us your best pitch as to why there is no other candidate out there that compares to you (and be willing to back it up with proof). *Magic # is 8*
