This role combines elements of a Founder’s Associate, Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, AI Automation Specialist, and Operations Assistant.

MindFriend is an online market platform for therapist, looking for a highly capable, practical, and AI-native assistant to work directly with the founder. This is a hands-on, trusted role for someone who can move between executive support, operations, AI automation, bookkeeping coordination, research, and day-to-day problem solving.
