Position Overview
The Executive Assistant is responsible for providing multi-level, comprehensive support to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO is very hands-on and handles a myriad of projects and activities. The primary function of this role is to support the CEO, keep him organized and ensure his every need is met for him to carry out his job and lead the organization. Tasks will vary widely, from administrative support to leading special projects, from personal errands to mission-critical information gathering. Through regular communication and proactive decision-marking, the position is expected to understand the CEO's schedule and priorities and support him in maximizing his time and focus. The day-to-day responsibilities will include but not be limited to making travel and meeting arrangements, calendaring, interfacing with vendors, drafting correspondence, undertaking ad hoc research, and other duties as assigned. No task is out of scope if it’s in support of the CEO’s mission.
The ideal candidate will be a polished, smart, passionate, caring, and self-motivated Executive Assistant (EA). The right candidate will bring energy, integrity, accuracy, and discipline. An exceptional Executive Assistant will relish the challenge of hundreds of follow-ups and meetings to manage and get the details right every time. We are looking for someone who has done the job before and lives and breathes to make an Executive’s life friction-less. The person filling this role will have exposure to a diverse team working on interesting projects with prominent, inspiring people all over the world in a values-driven start-up culture.
