EP 010: Jen and Paul Write a Job Ad

This week on Roast the Post, Paul and Jen flip the script. Instead of tearing down a job ad, they build one on the spot. What starts as an “Executive Assistant” role quickly morphs into something closer to an operations architect inside a small, impact-focused venture capital firm. They debate title coding, gender bias, Indigenous representation, autonomy vs. micromanagement, AI disclosures, PII ethics, compensation bands, rollover policies, and whether four pages is clarity… or chaos. If you hire, manage, or apply for jobs, this episode pulls back the curtain on how thoughtful design (or lack of it) shapes candidate pools, culture, and long-term success.
