Executive Assistant, Engineering

About the role

Ramp is hiring an experienced Executive Assistant to support senior leaders within our Engineering organization. This role partners closely with the Chief of Staff to the CTO and sits at the center of a large, fast-moving technical organization.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with the Chief of Staff to the CTO to support Engineering leadership across a large, multi-team organization
• Own complex calendar management across multiple Engineering executives, with a strong instinct for protecting time and enabling deep work
• Act as a connective layer across technical programs — tracking deliverables, flagging gaps, and keeping leadership informed without adding overhead
• Actively coach and orient engineering leaders who are new to working with EA support — helping them build the habits and structures that make the partnership work
• Establish clear operating norms with each leader you support: how to delegate, what to hand off, and how to communicate so nothing falls through the cracks
• Cook up recruiting logistics, candidate pipelines, and interview schedules across high-volume engineering hiring
• Serve as backup EA support to the CTO when primary coverage is unavailable

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience supporting senior executives, with a track record that demonstrates increasing scope and complexity
• Confidence and credibility to work with first-time leaders — you know how to educate upward and shape a working relationship, not just react to one
• Genuine curiosity about technology and software — you don't need to write code, but you should find it interesting and feel at home in technical conversations
• Proven ability to manage complex, high-volume calendars across multiple stakeholders with competing priorities
• Strong project management instincts — you track what matters, surface the right things at the right time, and know when to push
• Sound judgment and discretion when handling sensitive organizational, hiring, and technical information
• Clear, direct communication skills — engineering leaders value precision and brevity
• High EQ and the ability to build trust quickly with people who are skeptical of administrative overhead
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and taking full ownership without being asked
• Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, and modern collaboration tools
• Demonstrated use of AI, automation, or tooling to streamline work and create leverage

Qualifications

• Experience supporting CTOs, VPs of Engineering, or technical co-founders
• Familiarity with how engineering teams plan and operate (roadmaps, sprints, org design)
• Background in a high-growth startup at scale
• Track record of establishing EA operating norms from scratch — building the playbook, not just following one
• Fluency with tools like Notion, or Jira

Skills

• AI and automation
