What you will do

As the Executive Assistant to Karat's President, you'll be the operational backbone that makes every day more efficient, focused, and impactful. This is a high-stakes support role for a U.S.-based executive in a fast-paced, high-tech environment.

  • Own and manage the President’s highly complex calendar across internal, external, and personal commitments, exercising strong judgment and exceptional attention to detail to prioritize competing demands and prevent issues before they arise.

  • Serve as a primary point of contact for senior U.S.-based and global stakeholders, including enterprise clients, investors, partners, and executive assistants to C-suite leaders, representing the President and the Founders’ Office with professionalism, warmth, and credibility.
  • Independently manage executive communications, including drafting, editing, and sending high-stakes correspondence that reflects strong business judgment, polished business writing standards, and appropriate tone for enterprise audiences.
  • Prepare the President for meetings by partnering with internal leaders and account owners to develop clear agendas, briefing materials, and contextual background; anticipate questions, surface risks, and flag missing information in advance.
  • Coordinate closely with the Chief of Staff, Executive Business Partner to the CEO, and senior leadership on initiatives requiring tactical execution and cross-functional follow-through.
  • Maintain disciplined systems to track priorities, decisions, action items, and follow-ups across multiple workstreams, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and zero dropped details.
  • Support the planning and execution of Product and Engineering offsites, leadership meetings, internal events, and ad-hoc gatherings.
  • Apply a continuous-improvement mindset, leveraging modern productivity tools, automation, and AI thoughtfully to increase efficiency and scale executive support.
  • Work primarily during Pacific Time business hours, with flexibility to support early mornings, late evenings, and international travel when required.

The experience you will bring

  • 5+ years of experience supporting C-suite executives or founders within U.S.-based technology companies or high-growth startups
  • Communicate clearly and confidently with senior executives, enterprise clients, and external stakeholders
  • Demonstrated experience representing executive leadership externally, balancing strong business acumen with warmth, discretion, and emotional intelligence in all interactions
  • Proven ability to operate independently in high-expectation environments while maintaining consistent, proactive communication with executives and stakeholders
  • Exceptional attention to detail, with a track record of managing complex calendars, competing priorities, and multiple deliverables
  • Strong, well-defined organizational systems for prioritization, task tracking, and follow-through; trusted to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with minimal direction
  • High degree of discretion and sound judgment when handling confidential information and making decisions on behalf of senior leaders
  • Advanced proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and modern collaboration tools, paired with a demonstrated efficiency mindset, including effective use of AI and automation where appropriate
  • Ability to work flexible hours aligned to a Pacific Time executive schedule and global business needs

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
