What We’re Looking For
We are looking for a highly organized, operationally-minded individual to join the Office of the CEO and help support the company’s leadership team across a wide range of strategic, operational, and administrative priorities.
This role is designed to complement and extend the support infrastructure around the CEO and leadership team, operating as an additional high-leverage partner within the Office of the CEO. While the role will include elements of executive support and coordination, the focus is equally centered on operational execution, cross-functional collaboration, and helping drive high-priority initiatives across the business.
You will work closely with senior leadership on company priorities, internal operations, communications, scheduling coordination, and special projects that help the organization operate effectively at scale. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments and enjoys bringing structure to ambiguity while maintaining exceptional attention to detail and strong operational judgment.
This role is ideal for someone who wants broad exposure to company-building, executive operations, AI, and startup leadership while working alongside experienced founders and operators in a high-growth environment.
Key Responsibilities
Support the Office of the CEO on high-priority operational, strategic, and cross-functional initiatives.
Partner alongside existing executive support functions to help coordinate scheduling, meeting logistics, travel arrangements, and leadership operations as needed.
Help prioritize meetings, communications, and follow-ups to ensure leadership time and attention are directed toward the highest-impact priorities.
Assist in preparing agendas, briefing materials, presentations, and logistics for executive meetings, board discussions, customer engagements, and internal forums.
Track action items and ensure strong follow-through across leadership meetings and company initiatives.
Partner cross-functionally to improve organizational clarity, information flow, and execution speed.
Step into ambiguous situations and help create structure, process, and operational momentum.
Identify operational inefficiencies and proactively implement systems or workflows to improve effectiveness.
Serve as a highly trusted operational partner capable of balancing strategic context with day-to-day execution support.
What We’re Looking For
12+ years of industry experience
Experience supporting senior executives, founders, or leadership teams in fast-moving organizations.
Exceptional organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously with high attention to detail.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
Comfort operating in ambiguity and adapting quickly as priorities shift.
Proactive problem solver with a strong ownership mentality and resourceful approach.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with operational and administrative execution.
High emotional intelligence, professionalism, and discretion when handling sensitive matters.
Interest in AI, technology, startups, and company-building.
Systems-oriented thinker who enjoys improving workflows and helping teams operate more efficiently.
