About the Role

We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to the CEO to help a fast-growing startup operate with greater focus, speed, and efficiency.

You'll work closely with the CEO across scheduling, communication, travel, meetings, priorities, and day-to-day operations. This role goes beyond traditional executive support: you'll act as a trusted partner who anticipates needs, removes friction, and helps ensure the CEO's time is focused on the highest-impact priorities.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, resourceful, discreet, and proactive, with experience supporting founders or senior executives in a fast-moving startup environment.

What You'll Do

• Own complex calendar management, scheduling, and prioritization.
• Coordinate domestic and international travel, itineraries, and logistics.
• Manage meeting preparation, agendas, notes, and follow-ups.
• Help prioritize inbound requests and protect the CEO's time.
• Draft and coordinate communications with employees, investors, customers, candidates, and external partners.
• Track important decisions, commitments, and action items to ensure follow-through.
• Organize leadership meetings, company events, offsites, and other executive activities.
• Handle confidential and sensitive information with excellent judgment.
• Take ownership of special projects and operational tasks as needed.
• Anticipate problems before they arise and proactively find solutions.

What We're Looking For

• 3–7+ years of experience supporting a CEO, founder, or senior executive, ideally at a startup or high-growth company.
• Exceptional organizational and time-management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication.
• Excellent judgment, discretion, and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-changing environment.
• Highly proactive—you identify what needs to happen without waiting to be asked.
• Comfortable interacting with executives, investors, customers, candidates, and other senior stakeholders.
• Strong proficiency with modern productivity and collaboration tools.
• Willingness to operate beyond a traditional EA job description when the business needs it.

Strong Plus

• Experience supporting a founder at an early-stage or venture-backed startup.
• Experience during periods of rapid company growth.
• Recruiting, people operations, event planning, or business operations exposure.
• Experience coordinating board or investor meetings.
• Familiarity with AI and automation tools for executive productivity.
• Experience building systems and processes rather than simply maintaining them.
