Executive Assistant to the CEO

The Opportunity

We’re hiring an Executive Assistant to the CEO. You will work directly with the founder, helping protect his time, focus, and priorities in a high-output, high-expectation environment.

This role is not administrative in the traditional sense. It is a trusted, operating role, working closely with the CEO to manage information, commitments, and priorities.

We are open to hiring either:

1. A standout recent graduate or early-career professional who will begin as an intern and earn a permanent role by demonstrating capacity, reliability, and initiative.
2. An experienced and highly capable Executive Assistant who can step in immediately with full ownership of responsibilities.

Either path requires discipline, accountability, attention to detail, reliability, composure under pressure, and a high standard for operational excellence.

This is not a role for someone looking for comfort or routine. It’s a role for someone looking for challenge, responsibility, and opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist in drafting reports, presentations, and documents as directed by the CEO.
• Information Management
• • Track deliverables, deadlines, and commitments across departments.
  • Maintain well-organized records, notes, files, and reference materials.
  • Gather and synthesize information from internal teams and external partners to provide clear, actionable updates for the CEO.
