Executive Assistant/Personal Assistant to the Co-Founder

About the role

This is not a traditional EA/PA position. This is an opportunity to become the trusted operational partner to one of the most innovative founders in consumer products.

The EA/PA serves as the Co-Founder's closest day-to-day partner, building a relationship grounded in trust while creating the structure, organization, and follow-through that allows him to focus on the work only he can do. The role blends executive partnership, project management, founder operations, and personal support into one highly trusted relationship.

Responsibilities

• Own the Co-Founder's calendar, ensuring priorities are thoughtfully sequenced and focus time is protected.
• Serve as the primary gatekeeper for meetings, requests, travel, and incoming priorities.
• Cook up complex domestic and international travel, including speaking engagements, investor meetings, board activities, and media appearances.
• Prepare agendas, briefing materials, research, and meeting preparation.
• Capture action items, drive follow-up, and ensure commitments are completed.
• Manage communication across Slack, text messages, voice notes, and email.
• Listen carefully, synthesize ideas, and translate them into clear priorities, next steps, and action plans.
• Anticipate needs, remove friction, and proactively solve problems before they arise.
• Collaborate with leaders across Innovation, Communications, Marketing, and other functions to coordinate priorities and ensure alignment.
• Partner closely with the Executive Office, collaborating with fellow Executive Assistants to share context, coordinate priorities, and ensure seamless support across the organization.
• Coordinate initiatives supporting the Co-Founder's work as Chair, innovator, and public thought leader.
• Help maintain focus on strategic priorities while reducing unnecessary operational distractions.
• Track initiatives, decisions, and commitments across multiple workstreams.
• Cook up board preparation, podcasts, interviews, speaking engagements, and external thought leadership in partnership with the Chief of Staff and Senior Director of Communications + PR.
• Exercise sound judgment by providing thoughtful context, helping organize decisions, surfacing priorities, and offering practical recommendations when appropriate.
• Manage personal calendar, appointments, travel, and household logistics.
• Cook up vendors, contractors, service providers, and personal administrative matters.
• Aid in medical scheduling, financial reminders, tax coordination, and other household tasks.
• Assist with tax coordination and other financial reminders.

Qualifications

Success in this role isn't measured by how well you manage a calendar. It's measured by how effectively you help a visionary founder stay focused on the highest-impact work while ensuring everything around him continues moving forward.

The right person enjoys bringing order to complexity, builds trust through authenticity and consistency, remains calm amid changing priorities, and genuinely finds fulfillment in helping others perform at their best.
