Executive Assistant to the CEO
The Role
We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to partner with our CEO & Co-Founder during a pivotal growth phase. This isn't a traditional admin role—you'll be a strategic partner who enables our CEO to focus on what matters most: building the future of generative AI.
You'll be the trusted right hand to our CEO, managing everything from complex international travel to high-stakes external communications. You'll need to be sharp, proactive, and able to exercise excellent judgment in a fast-moving startup environment.
What You'll Do
Executive Support
- Manage a complex, constantly shifting calendar with competing priorities across multiple time zones
- Act as gatekeeper—triaging emails, requests, and meetings to protect the CEO's time for strategic work
- Prepare briefing materials, meeting agendas, and ensure follow-through on commitments
- Draft correspondence and communications on behalf of the CEO
External Relations
- Coordinate speaking engagements, conferences, and panels—managing invitations, logistics, and preparation
- Handle press inquiries and coordinate with communications teams
- Manage relationships with key external stakeholders including investors, partners, and industry contacts
Travel Coordination
- Arrange complex international travel (flights, accommodation, ground transportation, visas where needed)
- Build detailed travel itineraries that anticipate needs and maximize efficiency
- Handle last-minute changes and problem-solve on the fly
Who You Are
Essential
- 3+ years as an EA supporting C-level executives, ideally in tech or fast-growth startups
- Exceptional organizational skills and ability to manage competing priorities without dropping balls
- Outstanding written and verbal communication—you can draft emails that sound like they came from the CEO
- Proactive and resourceful—you anticipate needs before being asked and find solutions independently
- Excellent judgment and discretion with sensitive information
- Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change
- Proficiency with modern productivity tools (Google Workspace, Slack, etc.)
Bonus Points
- Experience managing international travel and multi-timezone coordination
- Background supporting technical founders
What We Offer
- Competitive salary and equity
- Opportunity to work at the cutting edge of generative AI
- Close partnership with leadership during a high-growth phase
