About the role

Ramp is hiring an Executive Assistant to support senior leaders across our Legal and Go-To-Market Finance organizations. This role sits at the intersection of two high-stakes, high-confidentiality functions — deal-making and financial oversight — and requires someone with exceptional discretion, sharp judgment, and the ability to operate with minimal direction in sensitive environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own calendar management across multiple Legal and Finance executives, with strong sensitivity to confidentiality and deal timing
  • Manage inboxes for at least two executives — triaging incoming communications, drafting responses, flagging urgencies, and ensuring high-priority items receive timely attention
  • Coordinate legal and finance workstreams including document management, signature logistics, and matter tracking across active transactions
  • Support execution of financing rounds, M&A-adjacent work, and regulatory processes — handling sensitive materials with complete discretion
  • Act as a coordination hub across Legal, Finance, GTM, and external counsel or advisors to ensure alignment and follow-through
  • Draft, organize, and manage correspondence on behalf of executives including communications with external counsel, investors, and counterparties
  • Track deadlines, deliverables, and commitments across active legal matters and financial planning cycles
  • Support planning and execution of legal team events, finance leadership offsites, and cross-functional working sessions
  • Manage budgets and vendor relationships on behalf of Legal and Finance leadership
  • Identify opportunities to streamline legal and finance administrative workflows using AI, automation, and lightweight tooling
  • Handle sensitive business, personnel, and financial information with the highest standard of confidentiality

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience supporting senior executives, ideally in Legal, Finance, Investment Banking, Private Equity, or another high-confidentiality environment
  • Proven experience managing executive inboxes — you know how to triage, prioritize, draft, and keep a busy exec's communications under control
  • Proven ability to handle sensitive legal and financial materials with complete discretion
  • Strong organizational instincts and attention to detail — you catch what others miss and nothing falls through the cracks
  • Sound judgment about when to act independently and when to escalate
  • Clear, precise written and verbal communication skills — you understand that word choice matters in legal and financial contexts
  • High EQ and the ability to build trust quickly with executives who value reliability over personality
  • Comfort managing multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously without losing quality
  • Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, DocuSign or equivalent, and modern collaboration tools like Slack
  • Demonstrated use of AI or automation to streamline administrative work and increase leverage

Qualifications

  • Comfort with fast-changing priorities and deal-driven timelines
  • Experience handling board materials, investor communications, or confidential personnel matters

Skills

  • Active notary commission (or willingness to obtain one)
  • Background as a legal secretary or legal administrative professional
  • Familiarity with corporate transactions, financing processes, or regulatory filings
  • Experience supporting multiple executives across different functions simultaneously

  • Budget for intra-office travel
  • Weekly coffee stipend
