About The Job

We are looking for an Executive Assistant to partner closely with designated members of the leadership team, ensuring they can focus on their highest-impact priorities and maximize their productivity and bandwidth. This is a high-energy, hardworking, and affable team that values partners who anticipate what needs to get done, take action accordingly, and thoughtfully problem-solve issues that arise unexpectedly.

In this role, you will be a trusted extension of the leaders you support, bringing structure, clarity, and foresight to their day-to-day operations. You will strategically manage multiple complex calendars, coordinate a high volume of internal and external investor and client-facing meetings, oversee often last-minute travel logistics, and maintain organized, high-touch inbox management. In addition, you'll work on ad hoc projects and initiatives that increase alignment, accelerate decision-making, and strengthen communication across the leadership team.

Responsibilities :

  • Complex calendar management : You will strategically organize, manage, and maintain complex, high-volume calendars across multiple leaders and time zones.

  • Complex inbox management : You will oversee multiple inboxes, triaging and prioritizing communications, drafting and responding on behalf of leadership, and ensuring seamless follow-through on all correspondence.
  • Event planning : You will plan, execute, and manage all logistics for company and team events, including offsites. Responsibilities include budget forecasting, venue selection, accommodations, transportation, and internal communications, ensuring clear agendas, timely updates, and seamless execution from start to finish.
  • Ad hoc projects, including coordinating cross-functional initiatives and providing light team support as the company continues to scale.

The pay range listed for this position is a good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible base compensation at the time of posting.

    Research has shown that women & underrepresented minorities are more likely to read lists of requirements and consider themselves unqualified if they don't meet every single one. This list represents what we're ideally looking for, but everyone has unique strengths & weaknesses, and we hire for strength & potential, not lack of weakness.

    Use of artificial intelligence or a LLM such as ChatGPT during the interview process will be grounds for rejection of your application process.

  • Audit existing systems (calendars, inboxes, meeting rhythms, travel processes) and identify immediate efficiency opportunities.
  • Create or refine frameworks for inbox triage, follow-up tracking, meeting prep, and ensuring leaders are briefed ahead of important interactions.
  • Serve as the reliable point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring consistent communication flow and follow-through.
  • Begin supporting coordination of offsites, leadership meetings, and team events with increasing autonomy.
  • Establish yourself as a central communication and alignment hub between leadership and cross-functional teams.
  • In your first 90 days, you will :

  • Operate as a true partner, protecting leaders' time, prioritizing requests, and making judgment calls independently.
  • Function as a trusted extension of the leaders you support, making prioritization decisions, protecting their time, and adjusting schedules based on strategic context.
