Who We Are

Imprint helps the world's best brands grow the lifetime value of their customers. We started with co-branded credit cards and rebuilt them to be smarter, more rewarding, and brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. But the card is just the beginning. We combine advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and deep customer data to create delightful and personalized experiences for members as well as efficient and profitable relationships for our brand partners. Our robust technology and world-class operations allow us and our brand partners to offer powerful financial products without becoming a bank.
In the U.S., co-branded cards alone account for over $300 billion in annual spend, and most still run on decades-old legacy bank systems. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, embeddable, and built for how people actually pay today. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, Ribbit, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay and how brands grow. If you want to move fast, solve hard problems, and own real outcomes, we want to meet you.

Role Summary

As Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will serve as the operational right hand to Imprint's Founder and CEO at a pivotal stage of the company's growth. This is a high-ownership, high-trust role that exists to create meaningful leverage for the CEO by managing complexity, protecting their focus, and ensuring the company's operating rhythm runs without friction.

You will act as a strategic partner and force multiplier — anticipating needs before they arise, making sound judgment calls on behalf of the CEO, and ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks across a fast-moving, high-stakes environment.

This role is based in New York City and requires in-office presence aligned with the CEO's schedule.

  • Track and drive closure on action items, commitments, and deliverables that emerge from the CEO's meetings and conversations

  • Support key company moments — all-hands meetings, leadership offsites, major announcements — by owning logistics and ensuring smooth execution

  • Draft emails, messages, and documents on behalf of the CEO that reflect the CEO's voice and standards

  • Proactively identify and implement improvements to how the CEO's office operates — better systems, tools, and workflows that reduce friction and create more leverage

  • Support light personal tasks as needed during high-intensity periods to keep the CEO focused on the business

Qualifications

Required

  • Impeccable judgment and discretion with sensitive, confidential information across all areas of a business

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft on behalf of an executive in their voice

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and rapidly shifting priorities; adapts quickly and keeps everything moving

  • Proficiency with modern productivity tools including Google Workspace, Slack, and Notion; ability to quickly adopt new and AI-powered workflows

Nice to Have
