Overview We're a small-to-mid-sized publicly traded technology company standing up a company-wide generative AI program. We've already done the heavy lifting internally — what we need now is an experienced practitioner to pressure-test our work, close gaps against current best practice, and help us run a clean, secure rollout. The internal framework is built and moving through executive review: AI acceptable use policy (multi-section, drafted conservatively on purpose so leadership can calibrate) A lightweight, IT-owned governance model Rollout and deployment plan ROI model and a department-level use-case catalog Executive-facing materials and an operational playbook This is an advisory engagement, not a build-from-scratch project. You'll be reacting to and improving real artifacts, not generating them from a blank page. The strongest applicants will be people who've personally written and deployed an enterprise AI program before and can tell us, quickly and specifically, where ours is too restrictive, too loose, or missing something. Who this is (and isn't) for We're looking for an individual practitioner, not an agency. If your proposal is a generic capabilities pitch, we'll pass. We want someone who has been hands-on with the actual decisions: which tools get approved, how data is protected, how policy translates into something employees will actually follow, and how a rollout lands without breaking trust across the org. What you'll do 1. Data security and risk (our highest priority) Advise on how we keep confidential and proprietary information out of public/consumer AI tools Help us evaluate vendor data-handling, retention, and model-training practices, and the difference between consumer and enterprise tool tiers Recommend the right access controls, data-loss-prevention posture, and guardrails for the tools we're approving Identify where our current policy and controls leave exposure we haven't accounted for 2. Policy and governance review Stress-test our drafted acceptable use policy section by section Tell us where it's overly conservative and where it's too permissive Evaluate whether our governance model (lightweight, IT-owned, with Legal/HR/Finance as consulted parties) is right-sized for a company of our scale Flag anything a company our size typically gets wrong 3. Rollout, change management, and enablement Advise on rollout sequencing — which functions go first, how to phase it, how to avoid stranding early adopters Help design the employee enablement and training approach Guidance on communicating the program so it lands as support, not surveillance 4. Tooling and licensing strategy Provide guidance on our approved stack: Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and general-purpose GenAI tools Help us think through licensing tiers, exception handling, and cost vs. value Sanity-check our build-vs-buy thinking for custom agents 5. Role-specific use cases (plus) Help shape practical, function-specific use cases — for example, distinguishing analytical roles from operational ones in finance/accounting Deliverables We're flexible on format, but expect outputs like: A written gap analysis / red-team of our current policy and controls Prioritized recommendations (what to fix before launch vs. what can wait) A short benchmarking summary against comparable mid-market deployments Working-session input on rollout sequencing and enablement Ad hoc advisory as questions come up through our review and launch cycle Ideal background Must-haves Strong grounding in data security and vendor risk for AI tools — DLP, data residency and retention, and keeping sensitive information out of model training Has led at least one enterprise GenAI governance + rollout, ideally at a company under ~250 employees Has actually written and deployed an AI acceptable use policy, not just studied them Can translate technical controls into plain business language for a non-technical executive audience Familiar with the Microsoft Copilot / Azure AI ecosystem Nice-to-haves Experience advising lean IT organizations where one or two people carry the load Comfort working inside a Microsoft 365 / Azure tenant A track record of rollouts that stuck — adoption, not just policy on paper How we'll work together Asynchronous by default, with scheduled working sessions for the higher-stakes reviews We move quickly and decisively — clear directives, fast turnarounds, candid feedback in both directions You'll work directly with our internal program lead; some sessions will include executive stakeholders We value plain language over jargon and consultant-speak Engagement details Fractional / part-time advisory, roughly 5 hours/week to start (flexible) Estimated 6–8 weeks with potential for an ongoing relationship (flexible) Hourly — please include your rate Our environment: Microsoft 365 / Azure tenant; lean IT org; governance intentionally lightweight Confidentiality Specific company and program details will be shared under NDA. Please be comfortable signing one before we get into specifics. We'll keep early conversations high-level until that's in place. To be considered, please include How you keep confidential and proprietary data protected when rolling out GenAI tools across an organization A brief summary of a comparable GenAI program you advised on or led — company size and your specific role Your overall approach to AI governance and acceptable-use policy Your experience with Microsoft Copilot and/or Azure AI Foundry Your availability and hourly rate Generic proposals will not be reviewed. We're reading for specifics.

Executive Assistant — Research, Drafting & Operations Support (AI-Augmented) ABOUT THE ROLE I'm a solo founder running a consulting and advisory practice. I work fast, think in systems, and lean heavily on AI tools and a structured knowledge base to get a lot done with a small footprint. I'm looking for a sharp, reliable Executive Assistant who can take real work off my plate — not just calendar management, but research, drafting, document production, and the operational glue that keeps everything moving. This is a long-term, ongoing engagement. I want someone I can build a working relationship with over months and years, who learns how I think and gets more valuable over time. WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO The work falls into four buckets: 1. Knowledge & Project Work (the core of the role) - Research topics and tools, then synthesize findings into clear, decision-ready summaries (comparisons, pros/cons, recommendations). - Draft and format documents: memos, plans, proposals, briefs, internal reference pages, and polished deliverables. - Maintain and organize a knowledge base (Notion and/or Confluence) — creating pages, structuring information, keeping things current and findable. - Prepare materials ahead of meetings and clean up notes and transcripts after. - Comfort with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) is a big plus — I use them daily and want a partner who can too. 2. Scheduling & Calendar - Own my calendar: book, reschedule, and protect focus time. - Coordinate meetings across time zones and handle the back-and-forth. - Set reminders and keep me ahead of deadlines and commitments. 3. Staff & Contractor Coordination - Act as a point of contact for contractors and collaborators. - Track tasks, follow up on deliverables, and keep projects on schedule. - Help onboard and coordinate other freelancers as the team grows. 4. Personal Administration - Handle personal scheduling, appointments, and reminders. - Manage occasional errands-by-proxy (research, bookings, purchases, follow-ups). - Help keep the line between work and personal life organized, not blurred. WHO YOU ARE - Excellent written English. You can take a rough idea and turn it into something clear and well-organized without hand-holding. - Strong researcher — resourceful, accurate, and good at knowing when something is "good enough" vs. needs another pass. - Detail-obsessed and dependable. Things don't fall through the cracks with you. - Proactive. You anticipate needs and flag problems early instead of waiting to be told. - Discreet and trustworthy. You'll have access to sensitive business and personal information and will handle it with care. - Comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-moving solo founder who context-switches a lot. TOOLS YOU SHOULD KNOW (or learn quickly) - Notion and/or Confluence - Google Workspace and/or Microsoft 365 (calendar, docs, drive, email) - AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) - General comfort picking up new software fast NICE TO HAVE - Experience supporting founders, executives, or consultants. - Familiarity with business/operations concepts (you don't need to be an expert, but you shouldn't be lost when I talk strategy or process). - Light project-management or coordination experience. LOGISTICS - Hours: 4-8 hrs/week to start, flexible / scaling - Rate: $20-30/hr - Start: ASAP HOW TO APPLY In your proposal, please: 1. Briefly describe a time you took a messy or open-ended task and turned it into a clean, useful deliverable. 2. Tell me which AI tools you've used and how. 3. Skip the generic template — a short, specific, well-written proposal tells me more than a long one. (Feel free to start your reply with the word "Foundry" so I know you read this.) I read every application personally. Looking forward to finding the right person.
