This is not a normal internship.
If you are looking for a 9-to-5 where you are told exactly what to do every hour, do not apply. If you are looking for easy pocket money, do not apply.
This is a Founder's Office role at Focus Realm. You will work directly with the Founder (Sehej Sharma) as a Shadow CEO.
The Mission (What You Will Do)
Since this is a remote role, your output is your currency. You will handle three core pillars:
1. Strategic Operations (The Chief of Staff Work):
- Meeting Shadowing: Sit in on high-stakes Zoom calls with CXOs and Directors. Take minutes, decode the negotiation psychology, and draft follow-up emails.
- Workflow Automation: You will not do manual data entry twice. You will use AI (ChatGPT/Perplexity), Zapier, and Notion to build systems that automate the boring stuff.
- Inbox & Calendar Command: You will act as the gatekeeper, prioritizing the Founder's time and ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
2. Growth & Research (The Builder Work):
- Market Intelligence: Deep dive into Tier-3 Education markets or Hospitality trends to find our next 10 clients.
- Pitch Deck Architecture: Assist in crafting high-impact presentations for investors and partners.
- LinkedIn Brand Building: Help draft content, engage with partners, and manage the company's digital footprint.
3. Execution (The Hustle):
- Running cold outreach campaigns.
- Coordinating with tech teams to ensure product delivery timelines are met.
