About the role

We are hiring an Operations Coordinator who is equal parts executor, problem-solver, and team player. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of executive support, cross-functional coordination, vendor management, and day-to-day operations.

Responsibilities

  • Own the executive's calendar end-to-end: internal 1:1s, leadership meetings, external calls, candidate interviews, board meetings, and partner meetings
  • Learn quickly what is high-priority and what can wait — and push back gracefully when a meeting request doesn't meet the bar for their time
  • Build breathing room into the day: buffers between back-to-back meetings and space to think between high-stakes calls
  • Coordinate with EA counterparts at external organizations (investors, search firms, partners) to lock timing and logistics
  • Book all travel: flights, hotels, ground transportation, and build detailed itineraries
  • Monitor the executive's inbox, flag urgent items, and draft correspondence on their behalf
  • Use AI tools actively to drive efficiency across communications, research, and preparation
  • Serve as day-to-day point of contact with executive search firms for senior-level searches; coordinate candidate scheduling, debriefs, and communications
  • Prepare and distribute agendas for leadership meetings; capture, track, and distribute action items
  • Plan and execute in-person leadership offsites end-to-end: logistics, catering, team events
  • Lead office buildouts in new markets: source and evaluate space options, negotiate terms, coordinate move-ins

Qualifications

  • 2+ years in an executive assistant, operations, or business coordinator role, ideally supporting a senior leader in a fast-paced environment
  • Exceptional organizational skills — able to manage multiple workstreams without dropping anything
  • Strong written communication — able to draft a clean, professional email quickly
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities
  • Proficiency in Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets); experience with Asana, Slack, or similar tools is a plus
  • Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive information
  • Flexibility to support evening/weekend needs as they arise, handled professionally
