Executive Assistant to Founder & CEO at Early-Stage AI Gaming Startup

Responsibilities

• Own and steward the CEO's calendar and inbox outcomes, prioritizing what needs his attention and making the judgment calls the automation can't.
• Coordinate high-context scheduling with investors, candidates, partners, and the broader team.
• Manage end-to-end travel planning and personal logistics that keep the founder operating smoothly.
• Prepare briefing materials ahead of meetings and ensure follow-through and closure on action items after.
• Support light vendor management and expense processing in partnership with the finance function.
• Partner closely with the company's internal AI agent stack, directing and refining its output rather than working around it.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of experience supporting a founder, CEO, or C-suite executive directly, ideally at an early-stage startup.
• Exceptional organizational skills and extremely clear, fast written communication.
• Genuinely comfortable using AI tools daily, with the instinct to treat them as leverage rather than a threat.
• Low-ego, direct, and calm under pressure, with the ability to close loops without being chased.
• Strong judgment on what warrants escalation versus independent action, with a bias toward speed.
• Discreet by default, given regular exposure to fundraising, hiring, and personal matters.
• Comfortable in an environment where responsiveness, not fixed hours, is the measure of success.
