Position Overview

We're looking for a high-impact Executive Assistant to support our CEO and founding team. This isn't a traditional EA role—it's a high-ownership position for someone who wants to build a world-class company from the ground up.

You're not just here to schedule meetings—you're here to make everything run better, support mission-critical operations, and help the executive team focus on what matters most.

🎯 What you'll do

  • Own scheduling and coordination for execs, customers, investors, and partners
  • Manage travel, trade shows, and team events with precision and creativity
  • Lead recruiting logistics—from interviews to onsite visit days
  • Run point on office ops, vendors, and internal logistics
  • Drive investor relations: help draft updates, coordinate meetings, and maintain records
  • Keep our docs organized and help with contracts, NDAs, and onboarding
  • Go above and beyond to solve problems before anyone notices them

🧩 Who you are

  • Energized by fast-moving environments and startup life
  • Exceptionally organized and detail-oriented
  • A clear communicator who can represent the exec team with polish and professionalism
  • Someone who thrives on being helpful, proactive, and one step ahead
  • Passionate about building something big—with heart and hustle

This is a rare opportunity to join a founding-stage startup and shape the operational core of a future category leader. If you want to be part of building something that matters—let's talk.

Why Join Us

  • Competitive compensation, and benefits in a high-impact, venture-backed startup
  • We offer daily free lunch, snacks, and drinks
