- Adaptability: Thrive in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment.
About You:
- Education & Experience: BA/BS or equivalent experience, with 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting senior executives. Previous experience in Executive Business Management, Chief of Staff, or Project Management roles is essential.
- Skills: Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with excellent calendar management capabilities. Proficiency in G Suite, Slack, Notion, Zoom, and Navan is required, or the ability to quickly learn.
- Attributes: A proactive, creative problem solver who can anticipate needs and work with limited supervision. Strong self-starter with the ability to maintain high levels of confidentiality. Able to adapt to ambiguity and work outside normal business hours when necessary.
- Networking: Ability to build strong relationships and a personal network throughout the company, both in-person and remotely.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone looking to make a significant impact by directly supporting our CEO in driving the success of our company. If you are passionate about leadership support and ready to contribute to a thriving culture, we’d love to hear from you!
