Executive Assistant to CRO (NYC based)
About the role
Actively is hiring an Executive Assistant to support our Chief Revenue Officer. This role sits at the center of a high-stakes, high-visibility function—revenue leadership at a fast-scaling company—and requires someone with exceptional discretion, sharp judgment, and the ability to operate with minimal direction in a fast-moving environment.
What You'll Do
- Calendar & inbox command: Own a complex, constantly shifting calendar across time zones—prioritize ruthlessly, protect focus time, and keep the CRO ahead of every commitment.
- Triage incoming communications, draft responses, flag urgencies, and ensure high-priority items get timely attention.
- Project coordination: Track initiatives across the revenue org, keep deadlines and follow-ups moving, and act as a connective point between the CRO and their team, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders.
- Presentations & decks: Build and polish board-ready and internal presentations—turn rough inputs into clean, on-brand slides.
- Event planning: Plan and run logistics for team offsites, customer/prospect events, QBRs, and dinners—end to end.
- Travel & personal support: Manage travel booking and itineraries, expenses, and select personal/lifestyle arrangements to keep work and life running smoothly.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years as an Executive Assistant supporting C-suite leaders; experience supporting a CRO or other revenue/sales leader is a strong plus.
- Experience at a Series B–D (or comparable high-growth) company— you know how to operate when things move fast and change often.
- Proven experience managing executive calendars and inboxes— you know how to triage, prioritize, draft, and keep a busy exec's communications under control.
- Genuinely strong at deck-building (Google Slides / PowerPoint) and comfortable with modern tools (Slack, CRM, calendar/scheduling tools, expense platforms).
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with sound judgment about what needs the executive's attention and when to escalate.
- Highly organized, proactive, and calm under pressure— you anticipate needs before they're asked, and catch what others miss.
- 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.
- Demonstrated use of AI or automation to streamline administrative work and increase leverage.
