Key responsibilities

  • Build Klaritee's foundational business infrastructure, including operational systems, internal processes, and cross-department workflows.

Job description

Fractional Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) โ€“ 3 to 6 Month Engagement

Location: Remote (Scottsdale preferred but not required)

Seniority: Executive Consultant / Fractional Leadership

Reporting to: Founder & President

Compensation: Competitive monthly retainer, commensurate with senior fractional executive experience.

Klaritee is building a deterministic intelligence platform with enterprise, governance, and national-level safety applications. As the company enters a high-velocity build phase, we are seeking a Fractional Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) to architect, establish, and operationalize the foundational systems that will support our executive team, engineering organization, governance structures, and long-term institutional scale.

This role is ideal for a seasoned operational leader who has repeatedly built early-stage infrastructure for complex or regulated technology environments. You will design and implement Klariteeโ€™s internal operating system from the ground up, ensuring clarity, cohesion, compliance, and readiness for rapid executive expansion. This is a short-term but high-impact engagement, and the work you do will define the structural foundation of the company moving forward.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build Klariteeโ€™s foundational business infrastructure, including operational systems, internal processes, and cross-department workflows.
  • Establish documentation and reporting structures, administrative policies, and organizational clarity.
  • Set up onboarding systems, HR/people operations pathways, contractor/employee processes, and compliance baselines.
  • Develop internal communication cadences, meeting structures, and cross-executive coordination channels.
  • Support initial alignment between CSO/EVP, CCOโ€‘SVP, CTO, and CFO, as the executive team forms.
  • Coordinate with legal, financial, and governance partners to ensure clean operational integration.
  • Build the operational scaffolding that the long-term full-time CAO will inherit.
  • Identify operational gaps and implement scalable systems that remove burden from the founder and executive team.
  • Evaluate tooling, vendor platforms, workflow automation, and operational readiness for enterpriseโ€‘grade growth.

Ideal Background

A strong candidate will have experience such as:

  • Former CAO, COO, Chief of Staff, or VP of Operations in an early-stage or highโ€‘complexity tech company.
  • Demonstrated ability to take a company from 0 โ†’ 1 operationally, creating clarity from ambiguity.
  • Experience building processes for teams working across engineering, legal, finance, and governance.
  • Fluency in administrative operations, compliance, HR structure, and multiโ€‘department coordination.
  • Comfortable working directly with the founder and acting as the operational architect of the company.
  • Exceptional organizational intelligence, documentation discipline, and systems thinking.

This role requires someone who thrives in environments where the operational foundation needs to be created rapidly, cleanly, and with long-term scalability in mind.

  • Fractional engagement, typically 10โ€“25 hours per week.
  • Expected duration: 3 to 6 months.
  • Direct access to the founder and executive team.
  • High autonomy with clearly defined outcomes.
  • Potential to advise on hiring the permanent fullโ€‘time CAO.

Why Join Klaritee (Fractional Role)

This is an opportunity to design the operating environment for a company creating a new category of deterministic intelligence. You will:

  • Build the internal architecture before scale begins.
  • Create clarity and structure for a rapidly forming executive team.
  • Ensure operational readiness for enterprise, governance, and safetyโ€‘aligned workstreams.
  • Leave behind a longโ€‘lasting operational foundation that shapes the companyโ€™s future.

Your work will directly influence Klariteeโ€™s structural integrity as it enters a pivotal phase of growth.
