About the role
You’ll be the operational backbone supporting our CEO and CTO directly, and developing a deep understanding of their priorities, working styles, and what good looks like for each of them. It’s a role where your judgment, taste, and systems thinking show up every day. Part calendar owner — you develop a real point of view on how their time should be spent and help them protect it. Part systems builder — you design the workflows and rhythms that keep executives organized and aligned. Part communications operator — you communicate effectively, coordinate what needs to move, and make sure the right things get attention at the right time. Part operator — you proactively spot the gaps and keep things moving.
What You'll Do
- Own the calendar with a point of view: Manage complex, high-volume scheduling for our CEO and CTO. You’ll develop a point of view on their priorities and use that context to make smart calls.
- Keep them ahead of what’s coming: Track open commitments, surface blockers, and make sure executives are informed, prepared, and ready for what’s next.
- Build systems that create leverage: Design and maintain the intake processes, communication rhythms, and workflows that keep the executive team organized and aligned.
- Be the communications layer: Draft, triage, and coordinate communications on behalf of the CEO and CTO. Synthesize inbound into clear recommended actions.
- Make the logistics invisible: Plan and execute complex travel, meetings, team gatherings, and offsites with a high bar for experience and detail.
- Be a calm, trusted presence: Act as a steady, positive and trusted point of contact across internal teams, external clients and partners, and stakeholders.
What You Bring
- Executive support experience in a high-growth environment: You’ve supported senior leaders through fast-moving, high-stakes periods. We typically look for 5–8 years, but we care more about your prior roles and impact than years on a resume.
- Upward management as a craft: You know how to keep busy leaders organized, informed, and accountable. You anticipate what they need, flag what they haven’t seen yet, and take pride in making them more effective.
- Strong written communication: Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to write clearly and naturally in someone else’s voice when needed.
- A bias for systems and leverage: You’re always looking for ways to make the operation run more smoothly — through better systems, processes, and tooling.
- Sharp prioritization instincts: You anticipate conflicts, make tradeoffs independently, and surface what needs attention. You can hold a lot of context at once and keep the rhythm going without creating overhead.
- Excitement about AI tools: You’re excited about how AI can create leverage in your own workflow.
- Presence, composure, and discretion: People trust you quickly because you’re calm under pressure, thoughtful in how you engage, and consistent in how you show up
