**AI Chief of Staff — Build and Run AI Systems Alongside the Principal**
**Job Overview**
Australian professional services principal (CFO advisory and a migration agency; firm names disclosed to shortlisted candidates) looking for one person to work directly with me, every day, to build and operate AI across my businesses and my personal workflow.
This is not a project role with a fixed scope. It is a daily working partnership. We will pair for one to two hours most mornings (UTC+8 — Philippines time) and you will carry the work forward during the day. You will build agent teams in Claude Code and Grok, set up the automations around them, develop new AI-based products with me, and — critically — teach me as we go so that I can extend and run everything myself.
I am a CPA who uses Claude Code daily. I know what I want built. I need someone who can build it faster than I can, explain it clearly, and challenge my thinking.
**What You Will Work On**
Agent teams for my CFO advisory firm — client bookkeeping review, month-end packs, workpapers, client correspondence.
Agent teams for my migration agency — enquiry handling, document checklists, case preparation and client follow-up.
A personal operating system — calendar,
New products — turning the internal systems above into packaged offerings we can take to market.
Ongoing: documenting everything so the business is never dependent on one person.
**Requirements**
Hands-on with Claude Code (subagents, CLAUDE.md, skill files, MCP) and at least one other frontier model platform (Grok, OpenAI or Gemini). You can show working systems you have built.
Python or TypeScript to a working standard; Git daily; comfortable with APIs, OAuth and webhooks (Xero and Microsoft 365 a strong plus).
A genuine teacher. You can explain a technical decision to a smart non-engineer, live, without jargon — and you enjoy it.
Strong product sense. You will be expected to push back, suggest better approaches and bring ideas, not just take instructions.
Excellent spoken and written English; comfortable on a daily video or voice call.
Available Mon–Fri during UTC+8 business hours; reliable internet and backup power.
**Nice to Have**
n8n, Make or Zapier; Supabase/Postgres; Microsoft Graph API. Any exposure to accounting, bookkeeping or immigration processes. Open-model experience for cost-sensitive workloads.
**How We Work**
Daily pairing session, then independent build time. Weekly written goals and a Friday demo. Everything in Git with a README. Secrets in a vault, never in chat. All IP assigned to the firm under a contractor agreement and NDA. Shortlisted candidates complete a paid four-hour test build; the successful candidate starts on a paid 30-day trial.
