Executive Assistant

About the role

As the Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will play a key role in supporting the organization across a variety of strategic and operational tasks. Your primary focus is to organize shifting priorities to keep the CEO’s focus on high impact activities. This is not a typical administrative role—it’s a highly dynamic partnership that requires problem-solving, organizational skills, and the ability to thrive in an ever-changing environment. You could be a great fit if you have a knack for anticipating the needs of those around you with a “figure it out” attitude. 

This role requires coordination with people across Europe, United States, and Vietnam, with a focus on working within the EST time zone. 

What you’ll do:Drive priorities forward 

• Maintain and regularly update a “Top Priorities” list to align with CEO’s evolving goals
• Track and follow up on critical decisions amongst the CEO’s direct reports, ensuring all next steps are clear and completed on time 
• Anticipate changes in focus and adapt plans quickly based on new information or shifting priorities

Manage calendar and email

• Own and manage the CEO’s calendar, scheduling high-priority meetings and resolving conflicts proactively
• Act as the first line of communication for emails and messages—filtering, prioritizing, and responding when appropriate to internal team members and external stakeholders 
• Draft, review, and refine key communications, including emails, meeting summaries, and slide decks

• Prepare agendas, briefing notes, and actionable follow-ups for all meetings
• Plan and execute team meetings, events and offsites for the CEO and CEO’s direct reports; including the coordination of agendas and materials, budgets, logistics, hospitality, travel itineraries and more  

Maximize CEO’s efficiency and focus

• Create and maintain lightweight documentation for recurring tasks and processes to reduce repetitive explanations
• Leverage existing tools and automations to streamline workflows and reduce manual work
• Develop systems and workflows to ensure recurring issues are addressed permanently, not repeatedly resolved

What you bring:

• 5+ years as an Executive Assistant, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment; bonus points if you’ve supported executives across global time zones
• You thrive in ambiguity and stay focused through rapid change
• A "figure-it-out" mindset, solving problems independently and proposing solutions before being asked
• Strong decision-making skills, knowing when to act autonomously and when to seek input
• Exceptional written and verbal skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas
• Skilled in tools like Slack, Superhuman, Google Workspace, and other productivity platforms
• Meticulous in managing tasks, timelines, and deliverables
• You value truth and transparency, even when it’s uncomfortable
• Guided by a strong moral compass, you prioritize fairness and doing what’s right
• You leave ego at the door, making decisions that prioritize our customers’ needs

What you’ll get:

• $110,000 - $170,000 USD base salary; Within this range, an individual's base pay will be dependent on a variety of factors, including without limitation, job-related knowledge, skills, education, and experience
• 100% remote with monthly internet stipend
• Fully paid health insurance
• 16 weeks paid parental leave
• Unlimited flexible time off
• 401k match (US employees only) 
• A front-row seat to the inner workings of a high-growth startup
