MAGIC AI is building the AI-powered fitness company of the future. We are looking for an exceptional, high-agency generalist to work directly with our Founder & CEO, Varun Bhanot.
This is not a diary-management or "assistant" role. You will be an extension of the CEO and a force multiplier for the company: taking ambiguous problems, creating clarity, building the right systems, and driving work through to completion.
You'll work across strategy, operations, product insight, hiring, culture, and special projects. One week you may be preparing an investor or board narrative, building a decision-making dashboard, or running a hiring process. Next, you may be coordinating one of our retail stores, leading an internal event, or coordinating a cross-functional launch.
You will get a front-row seat in how to build a company from the very top, but if you are thinking of leaving in 6 months, please do not apply. This role is ideal for someone who wants to become a Chief of Staff, senior startup operator, or founder - but who is equally happy solving the unglamorous operational problems that make a fast-growing company work.
Requirements
What you'll own
CEO Office and strategic execution
- Run the CEO's priority tracker: turn decisions from leadership meetings into named owners, next actions, and deadlines; chase progress and escalate blockers
- Own the follow-through on the projects that cut across teams—for example fundraising announcements, retail launches, leadership offsites, major hires, new operating systems, and company events
- Build simple decision briefs when Varun needs to choose: the context, options, numbers, recommendation, and the decision required
- Prepare Varun for high-stakes meetings with investors, board members, partners, candidates, and press: agenda, attendee context, key messages, materials, follow-ups, and a clear record of commitments
- Coordinate investor and board requests: keep the data room, key metrics, financial-model inputs, updates, and supporting materials accurate and moving
- Identify where work is stuck—for example between product, growth, finance, and operations—and convene the right people to resolve it rather than letting it drift
- Own selected external relationships end-to-end: scheduling, briefing, communications, actions, and follow-up
- Act as a trusted extension of the CEO: handle sensitive company, people, and commercial matters with sound judgment, pace, and discretion
- Step up to take tasks off the CEO's plate!
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Data, systems, and AI
- Build lightweight systems, dashboards, and automations that improve how MAGIC makes decisions
- Use AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, writing, project management, and internal workflows
- Help create a reliable operating cadence around key company metrics, priorities, and actions
- Turn messy information into clear recommendations - not just slides or spreadsheets
Culture, brand, and company experience
- Help build a high-performance, high-care culture as the company scales
- Be the CHIEF Celebrator at the company - finding moments to celebrate for individuals as well as the company
- Own selected company rituals, recognition, internal communications, office experience, and team events - aligned to our legendary PUNCH culture
- Protect the quality and consistency of MAGIC's brand across internal and external touchpoints
- Take pride in the details—from a leadership offsite, whole company away days, weekly celebratory moments to the quality of a candidate's/new joiner's experience
Operational range
- Support hiring, onboarding, finance/admin coordination, PR, partnerships, and external events where needed
- Be comfortable handling both high-leverage strategic work and essential operational detail
- Build processes that reduce dependency on the Founder over time
What we're looking for
- High agency: You see a problem, form a view, and move it forward without waiting for perfect instructions
- Exceptional operator: You can bring structure to ambiguity, manage multiple threads, and finish what you start
- Strong analytical judgment: You are comfortable with metrics, financial logic, and business trade-offs
- AI-native builder: You use modern AI tools to create leverage—not simply to generate output
- Excellent communicator: You can write clearly, communicate confidently with senior stakeholders, and tailor your style to the audience
- Customer instinct: You care about what customers actually experience and can turn qualitative feedback into action
- Low ego, high standards: You will happily organise an office detail when needed, but you think at the company level
- Long-term ambition: You want to grow into a senior operator, Chief of Staff, or founder-level role
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience
- 3+ years in a high-performance environment: startup, consulting, investing, founder's office, operations, product/growth, or similar
- Evidence of having owned complex projects with limited direction
- Experience building systems, analysing data, or using AI/automation tools is a strong advantage
- Startup experience is preferred; we care more about slope, judgment, and ownership than pedigree
What success looks like after 12 months
- The CEO and leadership team have more clarity, stronger follow-through, and fewer dropped balls
- MAGIC has better operating rhythms, clearer decision support, and more useful internal systems
- Important initiatives move faster because someone takes full ownership across functions
- Customer insight more consistently influences product, retention, and growth decisions
- The company feels more intentional—internally and externally—as it scales
