🚨 EMERGENCY HIRE — CEO FLEW AWAY 🚨

WE NEED A NEW CEO
(OURS ESCAPED)

The Escaped CEO
⚠️ AWOL

Our beloved CEO boarded a tiny airplane and flew into a warzone. We're concerned worried fine with it. But we need someone to sit in his chair.

👔 Chief Everything Officer

📍 The Big Chair™ 🕐 24/7/365 (lol) 📅 Start: Yesterday
🔥 URGENT 💻 Remote-ish ⭐ HOT JOB

📝 ABOUT THE ROLE

Due to unforeseen circumstances (our CEO literally flew away in an airplane dodging missiles), we are seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking individual to fill the most important chair in the office. It's a really nice chair. Herman Miller. That alone should be worth it.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a team that doesn't listen, manage a budget that doesn't exist, and attend meetings that could've been emails.

🎯 RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Sit in The Chair™ and look important
  • Approve things you don't understand
  • Take credit for the engineering team's work
  • Write LinkedIn posts starting with "I'm humbled to announce..."
  • Stare at dashboards and nod knowingly
  • Say "let's circle back" at least 4 times per meeting
  • Use the word "synergy" unironically
  • Dodge missiles (figuratively... and sometimes literally)
  • Survive board meetings (harder than dodging actual missiles)
  • Keep the coffee machine running — the team's actual CEO

📋 REQUIREMENTS

  • Must own at least one blue suit (navy counts, teal does NOT)
  • 15+ years experience making PowerPoint look like you did work
  • Expert at saying "per my last email" without sounding passive-aggressive
  • Ability to survive on a diet of conference room snacks
  • Must score at least 10 on Flappy CEO (see aptitude test)
  • Experience dodging tough questions from the board
  • Pilot's license (preferred, given what happened to the last guy)
  • Missile-dodging certification (MANDATORY after recent events)

⚡ NICE TO HAVE

  • Can make the WiFi work (IT gave up)
  • Knows where the previous CEO hid the good snacks
  • Willing to pretend to understand blockchain
  • Has a motivational quote for every situation
  • Can fix the printer (this alone guarantees the job)

💰 COMPENSATION

💵 Salary: More than the intern, less than you think 💵

*Actual salary depends on how well you dodge missiles in the aptitude test

🎁 PERKS & BENEFITS

  • The Big Chair™ (worth more than the salary tbh)
  • Unlimited "I'll look into it" responses
  • Your own parking spot (we already moved the previous CEO's car)
  • Access to the executive bathroom (it's just the regular bathroom with a sign we made)
  • Business trip budget (✈️ tiny airplane included)
  • Free coffee (you're buying, it's a leadership trait)
  • LinkedIn Premium (so you can see who's viewing your profile while panicking)
