About STEPS Talent

STEPS Talent is a high-performance hiring and intelligence firm helping growth-stage and enterprise companies scale with precision. As we transition from a services-only model into a product-driven platform company, maintaining founder leverage and operational clarity is mission-critical. We operate at speed—with rhythm, intention, and structure. This role is central to sustaining that momentum.

Role Overview:

• This is a high-trust, execution-focused role supporting the Founder directly.
• You will act as a central integrator—managing tasks, tracking deliverables, maintaining visibility across sales, operations, and internal initiatives, and ensuring the founder’s energy stays focused on high-leverage outcomes.
• You’ll be the filter between the founder and operational noise. You’ll surface the right information at the right time, ensure follow-through, and create systems for daily accountability.
• This role is for someone who brings structure to chaos, communicates with clarity, and thrives in a founder-led environment.

Responsibilities:

Founder Execution Support

• Manage daily and weekly task trackers, meeting prep, and follow-ups
• Coordinate calendar flow, protect focus blocks, and preempt conflicts
• Prioritize founder action items across internal and external commitments

Sales & CRM Flow

• Maintain Close CRM data: leads, deals, stages, and hygiene
• Track sales and outreach activity, surfacing gaps or follow-ups
• Support outbound coordination and light-touch lead tracking

Operational Coordination

• Maintain a centralized tracking spreadsheet of key accounts, warm allies, referrals, and opportunities
• Coordinate meetings across stakeholders and ensure updates are captured
• Manage communications cadence and internal check-ins

Product, Project & Reporting Visibility

• Follow up on key deliverables across product, GTM, internal ops, and financial tracking
• Monitor open loops, missed updates, and status changes
• Elevate risks, blockers, or delays with clear, proactive communication
• Track alignment between founder directives and actual execution timelines

LinkedIn & External Support

• Support content flow and outreach via LinkedIn (optional, based on experience)
• Track responses, warm intros, and engagement with prospective contacts
• Draft or coordinate light communications on behalf of the founder

Tools & Skills Required

• Microsoft 365: Excel (advanced), Outlook, Teams, Word
• Close CRM (or willingness to learn quickly)
• Notion (task tracking, light dashboards)
• Strong written and verbal English communication
• High follow-through, discretion, and organizational integrity

Ideal Candidate

• Based in India and available during full US hours
• 3+ years supporting founders or senior operators
• Structured, fast-moving, and clear in both planning and communication
• Comfortable tracking multiple projects and surfacing what matters
• Tech-fluent and able to work independently without micro-management
• Bonus: experience with sales ops, product ops, recruiting, or reporting functions

Why This Role Matters

• The right hire will keep the founder focused on leverage, clients, and leadership.
• You will remove friction, close loops, and ensure the business runs with rhythm and clarity.
• You won’t just track tasks—you’ll help drive momentum.
