About the role

  • Every product starts with ingredients and packaging-and today, that work is still run through inboxes, PDFs, and spreadsheets.
  • It slows innovation, hides costs, and quietly destroys margin.
  • Waystation is the wedge-and ultimately the operating system-that makes that possible.

Responsibilities

  • Own the CEO's calendar, priorities, and decision queue-what hits his plate and what doesn't
  • Drive follow-through on his commitments across the team
  • Own board prep, investor updates, and the data room
  • Support fundraising end-to-end: narrative, materials, process, diligence
  • Lead the projects that decide the company's trajectory: pricing, packaging, GTM motion, ICP refinement, market expansion
  • Own org design and the hiring plan as the team scales
  • Co-lead senior leadership recruiting with the CEO
  • You'll own the projects that cut across every function and don't have an owner yet.
  • The fastest path we know of to COO, VP, GM, or your own company
  • A product and mission you'll be proud to build around-and a team you'll be proud to build with

Requirements

  • Experience that helps:
  • Be the company's escalation filter: triage what's real, handle what you can, and bring him only what genuinely needs him, decision-ready

Skills

  • Want to be in the room, in person, close to the founder and the work.

Compensation

  • Own quarterly and annual planning-goals, metrics, and the operating cadence that holds them

Benefits

  • Competitive base salary + meaningful equity (calibrated to level)
  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Unlimited vacation

Company info

  • Take an ambiguous, high-stakes question and turn it into a recommendation and a plan
  • Own quarterly and annual planning-goals, metrics, and the operating cadence that holds them
  • Keep the company honest about what it said it would do
  • We're looking for someone who could plausibly be a VP or COO in 2-3 years.
  • Waystation is led by repeat founder and CEO Ryan Caldbeck (previously founded CircleUp).
  • Today, we have paying customers, real usage, and real impact.
  • We are reliable, credible, and authentic
  • We are solution-oriented
  • We are proud of our work, our customers, and ourselves
