The Role 

We are looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to our Chief Executive Officer. This is a foundational administrative role — one that requires someone who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly, anticipates needs before they arise, and understands that great execution behind the scenes drives results at the top. 

At the same time, we view this position as one of the best seats in the house. You will sit at the center of the business, interact with every function, and develop a front-row understanding of how a company operates at its highest level. For the right person, this role is a genuine launchpad — a place to prove yourself, build relationships, and grow. 

The person who thrives here is someone who is proactive, has a sharp attention to detail, and is genuinely curious about how businesses work. 

What You'll Do 

Calendar & Schedule Management 

Own and manage the CEO's calendar end-to-end — scheduling meetings, appointments, and events with precision and intentionality 

Proactively identify and resolve scheduling conflicts, ensuring the CEO's time is protected and well-utilized 

Maintain the Business Process Calendar across the organization 

Travel Coordination 

Arrange comprehensive travel itineraries including flights, hotels, ground transportation, and visa requirements 

Prepare and reconcile travel expense reports in accordance with company policy 

Meeting & Administrative Support 

Prepare agendas, briefing materials, and presentations ahead of the CEO's internal and external meetings 

Attend key meetings, capture accurate minutes, track action items, and follow up to ensure completion 

Consolidate and distribute functional monthly reports to the appropriate stakeholders 

Document & Information Management 

Organize, maintain, and safeguard sensitive corporate documents and records 

Handle all confidential information with discretion, professionalism, and integrity 

Project & Cross-Functional Coordination 

Support the planning and execution of special projects initiated by the CEO 

Liaise with teams across the business to track deliverables and keep projects on schedule 

Stakeholder & Relationship Management 

Build and sustain positive relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, including clients, partners, and board members 

Coordinate logistics for VIP visits and assist with hosting executive-level guests 

Prioritization & Workflow Support 

Serve as a thought partner to the CEO in managing daily workload — flagging urgent matters, organizing priorities, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks 

Who You Are 

You don't need years of EA experience — we're looking for someone who is early in their career but brings the right instincts, work ethic, and mindset. You might be a great fit if you: 

Recently graduated (or are about to) with a Bachelor's degree in any field — we care more about how you think than what you studied 

Have a GPA you're proud of and aren't afraid to share (please include your GPA on your resume) 

Are the person in the room who catches the typo everyone else missed 

Naturally think a few steps ahead and take initiative without waiting to be asked 

Are endlessly curious — you ask good questions, connect dots, and want to understand the "why" behind things 

Can manage multiple moving pieces simultaneously without losing composure or accuracy 

Handle sensitive information with maturity and discretion 

Are proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) or eager to get there quickly 

Communicate clearly and professionally, in writing and in person 

No prior executive support experience required. What we're really hiring for is mindset, curiosity, and a genuine desire to do great work.
