Executive Assistant

San Francisco, California, United States

Company Description

Air is the leader in Enterprise Readiness. Our mission is to establish readiness as a real-time condition that is continuously achieved. Today, a dangerous Readiness Gap exists between what the front line needs and what is delivered. Our AI-native platform, Air Enterprise Readiness, aligns development, production, delivery, and sustainment into one coordinated execution system for government agencies and industrial suppliers. By revealing true capacity, exposing real constraints, coordinating resources, and executing at the speed of operational demands, the front line gets what it needs to succeed.

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Executive Assistant to support our Chief Product and Technology Officer (CPTO), serving as a critical partner in enabling leadership effectiveness at a rapidly growing, mission-driven company.  This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment, anticipates needs before they arise, and can seamlessly manage constant re-prioritization.

This role may require up to 10% travel.

  • Prepare and distribute meeting agendas, pre-reads, and post-meeting follow-ups to drive clarity and accountability
  • Coordinate complex travel arrangements, including flights, ground transportation, accommodations, and detailed itineraries; proactively adjust as plans change
  • Maintain accurate expense reporting
  • Support planning and execution of leadership offsites, strategy sessions, and company events as needed
  • Contribute to cross-functional initiatives, special projects, and evolving administrative priorities
  • Serve as the primary onsite point of contact for SF employees, visitors, candidates, and visiting executives, ensuring a polished and welcoming workplace experience.
  • Manage day-to-day office needs within the coworking environment, including access, meeting spaces, supplies, mail and deliveries, workplace readiness, and issue resolution.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree

Required Skills: 

  • 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting C-suite or senior executives, ideally with additional office management or workplace operations experience in a high-growth technology or startup environment.
  • Experience working in ambiguous and fast-paced environments
  • Experience with AI tools (e.g. Google Gemini, Claude) and embedding them to operational and organizational work
  • Capable of producing high-quality content on short deadlines
  • Ability to manage multiple streams of work and plan, organize, and prioritize appropriately
  • Fast learner and able to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Exceptional attention to detail; ability to consistently produce timely and error-free work
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
