About the Company
Giga Brands is a fast-scaling, AI-forward company supporting modern digital businesses and brands. The team operates in a high-performance, execution-driven environment with approximately 25 team members globally.
This role directly supports the founder and sits at the center of executive operations, logistics, and day-to-day execution.
The Role
We are hiring a highly proactive Life Manager / Executive Operations Partner to take full ownership of the founder's day-to-day operational life.
This is not a traditional administrative EA role. This position is designed for someone who operates independently, anticipates needs before they arise, and ensures everything — from calendar to logistics to execution — is fully dialed in.
Success means the founder is fully focused on scaling the company while operational and executive tasks run seamlessly in the background.
