Summary

Right Hand to CEO — Operations & Growth (Part-Time, Remote LATAM) ## About us Acadelite is a premium education startup guiding ambitious high-school students into the world's most selective universities — Ivy League, Oxbridge and beyond. We are a small, fully remote team of mentors, coaches and operators, and we are growing fast. Our working language is English. ## The role The CEO needs a right hand. Not an assistant who waits for instructions — an operator who takes things off his plate and makes them happen. Your scope, honestly described: -Operations : keep the machine running: coordinate freelancers, track engagements, maintain our internal processes and documentation (Notion). - Growth : support marketing and sales operations: lead follow-up, CRM hygiene, campaign logistics, whatever moves the pipeline. -CEO support : pick up ongoing projects and run with them: research, first drafts, vendor comparisons, setting up tools. -The unglamorous execution : every startup has repetitive, boring-but-critical tasks. You'll own a share of them, and you'll be the kind of person who automates them away instead of complaining. You will work directly with the CEO, daily. What you'll get in return: real responsibility from day one, exposure to every side of a growing company, and a role that expands as fast as you do. Where this goes: we plan to grow this position into a *full-time role within a few months* as revenue grows. We are hiring for the long term, someone who grows with the company and takes on bigger responsibilities as we scale. If you're looking for a quick gig, this isn't it; if you're looking for a seat on a rocket you help build, it is. ## Who you are -Fluent in English, written and spoken (our working language; Spanish or French is a plus) -Tech-comfortable — you pick up new tools fast: Notion, Google Workspace, CRMs, and especially AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude…), which you already use daily to work faster -A process builder : you don't just do tasks; you turn them into documented, repeatable systems -Independent and proactive : you spot problems before being told, propose solutions before being asked, and never sit idle waiting for instructions -A generalist : comfortable switching between a spreadsheet, a draft email, a research task and a tool setup in the same afternoon - Based in Latin America (or fully aligned with GMT-5 / Panama working hours) ## Practical details -Part-time: 20 hours per week to start, with flexibility on how you organize them (daily overlap with Panama hours required) — transitioning to full-time within a few months as we grow -Freelance contract, long-term collaboration intended -Compensation: $600–800 USD/month depending on profile, with review after a successful trial period -Fully remote ## How to apply Send a short proposal covering: 1. Who you are in 3–4 sentences 2. One process you built or automated (what problem, what you did, what changed) 3. How you use AI tools in your daily work 4. Start your proposal with the word "Summit" so we know you read this far Applications that are generic, copy-pasted or AI-written without substance will not receive a reply. Everything else will.
