Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant

We're hiring an Executive Assistant to support our Founder / CEO, Alex, and help keep our growing company running smoothly. This role combines aspects of a traditional EA, a Chief of Staff, and execution partner think EA++.

Your work will be focused on helping Alex manage his focus, schedule, priorities, and energy basically, making sure he spends his time on the things that matter most. Done well, this role has the potential for outsized impact not only on Alex's effectiveness, but on Stainless's trajectory.

If you're highly organized, enjoy supporting others, and thrive in the mix of structure and chaos that comes with working alongside a fast-moving founder, we'd love to hear from you.

Alex, our CEO, is driven, ambitious, a little quirky, and thrives on energy and ideas. He benefits from structure and systems to help him do his best work. Your role is to be his partner in building that structure : the person who helps him stay on track, prepared, and focused on the highest-leverage work.

What You Do

On a day-to-day basis, you will :

• Help Alex set and follow through on goals daily, weekly, quarterly, and annual.
• Handle all of the behind-the-scenes details that keep Alex energized and focused on what matters most. You'll schedule workouts, ensure he gets proper meals, manage personal appointments, and all of life's random logistics.
• Manage his inbox, calendar, and TODO list, making sure urgent things surface and distractions don't.
• Design and evolve systems that make him more effective and the company more resilient.
• Partner with Alex on all written communications, helping craft, edit, and refine his ideas into clear, compelling content.
• Be a steady, positive presence in the middle of the inevitable startup chaos.

Tl;dr, the work is varied : some days it's writing, other days it's problem-solving, coaching, or quietly making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Who You Are

Your background could be in executive support, teaching, operations, or something else entirely. What matters most is that you're skilled at helping ambitious, distracted people do their best work.

What Makes This Role Unique

This isn't your typical EA role. If these aspects excite you, we'd love to talk :

This is a full-time role, in-person in New York. Most of your time will be in the office, with some flexibility to step out during the day. This role requires evening and weekend work.
