Job Details

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to support the CEO of an established consumer technology company.
.
This is not a traditional EA role.

You’ll certainly own the fundamentals — calendar management, travel, meetings, communication and keeping the CEO organized — but the bigger opportunity is becoming a trusted extension of the CEO across the business.

You’ll participate in strategic projects, research, business operations, process improvement and technology initiatives. The CEO is looking for someone who is naturally curious, highly organized, comfortable figuring things out independently and excited about using technology and AI to work smarter.
What You’ll Do

• Manage the CEO’s calendar, scheduling, travel and day-to-day priorities
• Anticipate needs and proactively keep priorities moving
• Coordinate meetings, agendas, materials and follow-up
• Help track strategic initiatives and ensure action items move forward
• Conduct research and synthesize information for the CEO
• Support special projects across different areas of the business
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and workflows
• Explore and leverage AI and technology to increase efficiency
• Work cross-functionally with executives and teams throughout the organization
• Help the CEO stay organized across competing priorities
• Handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion
• Take ownership of projects that may fall outside a traditional EA job description

What We’re Looking For

• Experience directly supporting a CEO or senior C-suite executive
• Strong executive presence and judgment
• Excellent organizational and prioritization skills
• Ability to operate independently and anticipate what needs to happen next
• Business-minded and genuinely interested in understanding how an organization operates
• Comfortable taking an ambiguous project and figuring out how to move it forward
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Tech savvy with an interest in AI, automation and new tools
• Experience with tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or similar AI platforms is a strong plus
• High emotional intelligence and ability to work effectively with different personalities
• Humble, curious and willing to jump in wherever needed
• Comfortable working primarily onsite in San Clemente
