About the Team

This role sits at the heart of Parity's leadership, working directly with our Founder to drive organisational alignment and execution across the company.

About the Role

You will work directly with Gavin Wood, Parity's Founder. Your job is to take his vision, goals and ideas, and turn them into clear decisions, aligned teams, and forward momentum. You will think 12 to 24 months ahead, not just manage what is on fire today. You understand that the decisions made now impact the future, and you treat them accordingly.

You will be a key partner to Directors across the business, our CEO, and the primary bridge between Gavin's priorities and the Acceleration team's execution.

What You'll Do

Operate as Founder's technical right hand. You will manage his context, his priorities, and his follow-through. You are available when it matters. You anticipate what he needs before he asks for it.

Turn chaos into clarity. Parity moves fast. You will work in an environment of competing half-thoughts, ambiguous mandates, and shifting priorities. Your job is to impose structure without killing momentum, and to spot the counterproductive plays before they cause damage.

Think long. You will not just solve today's problem. You will map the second- and third-order consequences of decisions being made now and make sure the right people are thinking about them.
