Position Summary

Since Axiom Space is a very complex work environment, we are looking for a resilient, high-energy Senior Executive Administrative Assistant who is a dedicated operational and administrative partner to both the Chief People Officer (CPO) and the Chief Information Officer (CIO), providing equal and consistent support across both offices.

Key Duties & Responsibilities

  • Manage complex, high-volume calendars for both the CPO and CIO, proactively aligning schedules with their respective priorities and resolving conflicts with sound judgment.

  • Cook domestic and international travel for both executives, including end-to-end itinerary planning, visa requirements, and day-of logistics.

  • Process and reconcile expense reports for both principals in a timely and accurate manner, ensuring full compliance with company expense policy.

  • Prepare agendas, pre-reads, and briefing documents for all CPO- and CIO-led or attended meetings, ensuring both executives are fully prepared for every engagement.

  • Own action item tracking across both offices — following up with owners, escalating delays, and ensuring commitments are closed on time.

  • Run open items, deliverables, and priorities to ground on behalf of both executives, proactively closing gaps without waiting to be asked.

  • Track the status of ongoing initiatives and cross-functional commitments for both the CPO and CIO, surfacing risks or delays in a timely manner.

  • Cook cross-functional work between the People and Technology teams, ensuring information flows accurately and operational handoffs are clean.

  • Serve as the primary administrative liaison between the CPO's and CIO's offices and the broader organization, ensuring clear communication and timely follow-through.

  • Partner with the Chief of Staff and support team across executive offices to ensure alignment between the CPO's and CIO's priorities and CEO-level strategic objectives.

  • Develop and maintain SOPs and process documentation for recurring activities within both the CPO's and CIO's offices.

  • Leverage project management and productivity tools (including Jira and Microsoft 365) to manage workstreams, track deliverables, and maintain operational accountability.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Operations, Communications, Human Resources, or a related field.

  • 10+ years of experience in a senior executive assistant or executive administrative role supporting C-suite leadership, within a startup where priorities shift quickly.

  • Experience supporting multiple executives simultaneously in a fast-paced, high-complexity environment strongly preferred.

  • Demonstrated experience managing executive travel and expense reporting, including international travel coordination and policy compliance.

  • Familiarity with People (HR) and/or Technology (IT) functions a plus — demonstrated ability to quickly learn the language and priorities of new functional domains.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneNote) and project management tools (Asana, Monday.com, Jira, or equivalent).

  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities across multiple principals with equal responsiveness and quality — never letting one principal’s needs eclipse the others.

  • Proactive and anticipatory: stays one step ahead of both executives, identifies needs before they arise, and closes gaps independently.

  • Collaborative and aligned: partners naturally with the Chief of Staff support team and the Executive Operations Manager, understanding that coordination across the C-suite is a shared responsibility.

  • Trusted and discreet: handles confidential people, technology, financial, and organizational information across two sensitive executive domains with the highest level of integrity and professionalism.
