Special Projects Lead
About The Position
Bolt Farm Treehouse is a luxury treehouse resort redefining hospitality through AI-first operations, radical ownership, and an obsession with guest experience. We don't just use technology — we build it into everything we do. Our strike team model means you won't sit in a fixed seat. You'll be deployed wherever your skills create the most leverage, then redeployed when the mission changes. The Role Special Projects Lead is the operational quarterback of the strike team. You don't just execute projects — you scope and sequence the entire strike queue. You decide what gets prioritized, staff the right people to the right problems, and drive cross-functional initiatives from zero to done. When something doesn't fit neatly into any department, it lands on your desk. This role reports directly to the Founder and operates with high autonomy.
Requirements
- 3+ years running cross-functional projects in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
- Demonstrated portfolio of projects you scoped, staffed, and shipped (not just managed)
- Experience with AI-augmented workflows — you use automation tools in your own project management
- Track record of working directly with founders or C-suite with minimal oversight
- Comfortable with radical transparency, direct feedback, and a founder-led operating model
Nice To Haves
- Hospitality, resort, or guest-experience operations background
- Prior Chief of Staff, Head of Special Projects, or founder's-office experience
- Experience building and managing small, high-output teams (3–8 people)
- Familiarity with ClickUp, Notion, or similar project management platforms at scale
Responsibilities
- Scope, sequence, and prioritize the strike team's project queue based on business impact
- Run full cross-functional projects autonomously — from problem definition to shipped solution to handoff
- Staff strike team members to projects based on skill match and urgency
- Context-switch across operations, guest experience, finance, content, and tech without ramp-up
- Build lightweight project frameworks that create accountability without bureaucracy
- Identify and escalate blockers before they become crises
- Own post-mortems and ensure learnings get codified into SOPs or doctrine
- Mentor Special Projects Drivers and Associates on prioritization, stakeholder management, and execution tempo
Benefits
- Base: $90,000–$110,000
- OTE: $129,000–$157,000
- Performance variable: 30% of OTE, tied to Founder-approved KPIs
- Health stipend: $400/mo
- Profit-pool participation: Yes — tiered by build output, not tenure
