About the Role
We're on the hunt for a proactive , fast-moving , and intuitively sharp Executive Assistant to support our CEO on a part-time basis. This is for someone who thrives in high-growth, mission-driven environments---and doesn't need a to-do list to know what needs to be done.
You'll be a trusted right hand---managing schedules, prepping for high-stakes meetings, coordinating communications, and making sure no ball gets dropped. You'll help unlock time, headspace, and energy for the CEO to focus on leading, building, and scaling.
What You'll Do
- Masterfully manage the CEO's calendar, scheduling and prioritizing like a pro
- Manage and triage the CEO's inbox; monitor and organize incoming emails, flag urgent items, draft thoughtful responses, and ensure no important communication falls through the cracks.
- Prep agendas, meeting notes, background research, and follow-ups
- Coordinate investor, partner, and collaborator meetings
- Manage communications---internal and external---with clarity and discretion
- Organize occasional travel, expenses, and light personal logistics
Who You Are
- Background in business, operations, or a related field (degree or equivalent experience); ability to think strategically and support high-level decision-making through research, context-gathering, and sound judgment.
- 3+ years of experience supporting executives, founders, or busy creatives
- Proactive: You anticipate needs before they're spoken
- Fast and intuitive: You pick up on things quickly and adjust on the fly
- Hyper-organized: You live for clean calendars, tidy inboxes, and smooth processes
- Emotionally intelligent, discreet, and calm under pressure
- Excellent writer and communicator---whether it's a formal email or Slack ping
- Tech-savvy, with experience using Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion (or similar tools)
- Strong judgment, emotional intelligence, and ability to stay calm under pressure
- Bonus if you've supported a CEO or leadership team in a startup or mission-driven org
