Hi there!

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant for our Build organization (Product, Design, Engineering). This is a high-impact role where you’ll support 1-2 executive leaders and partner closely with another EA in the same department. You’ll manage calendars, critical workflows, and help drive leadership effectiveness by combining proactive support with excellent judgment.

The ideal candidate has experience supporting senior leaders in Product or Engineering and understands how Build teams operate: how they plan, communicate, and ship. You’re able to follow along even when discussions get highly technical, surfacing action items, blockers, and next steps without needing everything spelled out.

You also bring a strong communication skillset. You know how to extract the right context from meetings, Slack threads, and documents and then turn that input into clear, executive-ready drafts. Whether it’s prepping for a decision-making meeting or sharing out a memo to key stakeholders, you’re able to confidently move from information-gathering to polished output in your executive’s voice.

If you’re looking to deepen your impact at a fast-growing, profitable, customer-focused company, read on…
