Chief Executive Officer / Chief Operating Officer

Company Description

Zeego AI is a PropTech and AI startup building a smarter, lower‑cost alternative to the traditional residential real estate model. We focus on buyers who already find homes themselves and want intelligent support—through analysis, offers, and closing—without paying full‑service agent fees for work they don’t need.

Think “LegalZoom for Real Estate”: combining AI‑driven property intelligence, decision tools, and licensed agent support to align costs with actual value.

Zeego is founded by a real estate attorney and broker who is currently the General Counsel of a public real estate investment trust. The vision, product direction, and industry expertise are in place. What we need now is a dedicated operator to help take Zeego from early traction to real scale.

Role Description

This is an early‑stage, hands‑on role for a Founding Operator (CEO / COO) who will help run and build Zeego day to day.

Rather than managing a large team, you’ll be responsible for executing the initial go‑to‑market, driving growth, managing operations, and helping shape the company’s direction. You’ll work closely with the founder on strategy, but you’ll have wide ownership over execution.

This role is ideal for someone excited about startups, AI, and PropTech who wants real responsibility, meaningful equity, and the opportunity to help build a company from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

• Owning early growth marketing and development efforts
• Managing inbound leads and partnerships (mortgage brokers, referral partners, etc.)
• Hiring and managing outsourced marketing and growth support (social media, influencer)
• Overseeing day‑to‑day operations and prioritization
• Translating user feedback into product and positioning improvements
• Supporting fundraising prep and investor outreach as needed

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly self‑directed, scrappy, and comfortable with ambiguity
• Interested in startups, AI, and/or PropTech
• Excited to own execution rather than manage from a distance
• Strong communicator with good judgment and follow‑through
• Motivated by ownership and equity, not just title or salary

Helpful (but not required) backgrounds include:

• Consulting, product management, growth, marketing, or operations
• Early‑stage startups or venture‑backed companies
• Tech‑enabled marketplaces or SaaS
• Exposure to real estate, finance, or legal environments
• A bachelor’s degree is required; an MBA or advanced degree is a plus but not required. The right mindset and execution ability matter far more than pedigree.
