We’re searching for an experienced assistant to execute day-to-day activities, administrative tasks, and special projects for our CEO and by proxy the broader team where needed.
This position touches every corner of the CEO’s life and business, which means the right person will have a passion for coming alongside the CEO and putting the infrastructure in place to bring his big vision into reality.
It’s a big role, and we need someone who has the ability to ramp up quickly when it comes to new information and learning new things. We want someone that wants to “hit the ground” running.
What is most important is your ability to manage multiple projects and priorities and your ability to pay attention to and follow up on details even when there are several moving pieces. To be successful, you will need to be flexible, calm under pressure, have unbelievable attention to detail, be a great problem-solver, and be able to work quickly when needed.
At a high level, some of the example projects and responsibilities of this role are:
– Must be fully present to all details discussed during company meetings, with an ear toward catching tasks assigned to executive team members. Keeping a task list up-to-date to ease communication and aide as a reminder for all is a core requirement

– Gathering scorecard metrics for key Executive Team Meetings
– Coordinating event logistics for in-person and virtual events helping ensure that all parties have a positive experience.
– Daily email inbox management, organization, and cleanup (email, calls, etc). Though we’ll provide many templates, the ideal candidate will be able to respond in the written voice of the CEO without additional input needed. Additionally, the ideal candidate will be able to write longer-form emails from voice memo communication with a consistent voice.
– Coordinating travel arrangements for the CEO and related staff. Practically, this means coordinating travel in a way that fits the preferences and anticipated needs of those involved.
– Assisting with managing relationships with vendors, referral partners, or other business relationships. This can include everything from making sure vendors are paid to sending “Thank you” cards after important meetings.
