The ideal candidate is resourceful, adaptable, and comfortable using artificial intelligence and emerging technologies to improve productivity, simplify workflows, and help leadership operate more efficiently.

Experience in a startup, high-growth company, or technology environment is preferred. We are looking for someone who takes initiative, anticipates needs, exercises sound judgment, and thrives in an environment where priorities can evolve quickly.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as a professional liaison between executive leadership, employees, clients, and external partners.

  • Handle confidential information with discretion and maintain organized records and communication systems.

  • Coordinate leadership meetings, company events, offsites, and special projects.

  • Partner with internal teams to support executive priorities and day-to-day business operations.

  • Use AI tools to streamline research, summarize information, draft communications, prepare for meetings, and improve administrative efficiency.

  • Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks, enhance workflows, and introduce practical technology solutions.

  • Stay current with emerging AI capabilities and recommend tools that improve productivity while protecting sensitive information.

  • Provide general operational and administrative support as the organization continues to grow.

Qualifications

  • At least 3 years of Executive Assistant experience, ideally supporting a CEO, founder, C-suite executive, or senior leadership team.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage complex calendars, travel arrangements, executive communications, and multiple competing priorities.

  • Hands-on experience using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or comparable platforms in a professional setting.

  • Strong technical aptitude and an interest in applying AI and automation to everyday business processes.

  • Proficiency with modern productivity and collaboration tools, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, and virtual meeting platforms.

  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and written and verbal communication abilities.

  • Sound judgment, professionalism, and a high level of discretion when handling confidential matters.

  • A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with the ability to anticipate needs and work independently.

  • Flexibility and adaptability in a dynamic environment where priorities may shift.

  • Reliable availability to work onsite in Redmond, WA, with flexibility to accommodate executive schedules and business needs.

Preferred Experience

  • Executive support experience within a startup, high-growth organization, or technology company.

  • Familiarity with AI-enabled productivity, workflow automation, and organizational tools.

  • Experience coordinating international travel, executive events, strategic meetings, and special projects.

  • A track record of improving administrative processes, introducing efficiencies, or implementing new tools and systems.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?

The right person will be a trusted partner to executive leadership, someone who stays several steps ahead, communicates clearly, and brings structure to a busy environment.
