Job description

Euclid: Where Projects Take Shape
At Euclid, we're on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to renewable energy so that we can decarbonize the planet as fast as possible. We empower renewable energy teams to accomplish in days what typically takes weeks.
We care about doing meaningful work, delivering real value and results to our customers. We're passionate about solving real problems by focusing on what truly matters. We're passionate about our work, and we're building products and services that our customers genuinely love and trust. We're not afraid to think big and be bold, as we're building not only a future we believe in but a workplace culture that we're proud to be a part of.
We're looking for an Executive Assistant who's excited to be in the mix at a fast-moving climate startup - keeping our CEO organized, our office running, and our team culture thriving. You'll be based out of our Lower Manhattan office 2-4 days a week, right in the middle of the action.
What You'll Do
  • Support the Office of the CEO - Manage scheduling and admin for our CEO: schedule meetings, client calls, and work travel (flights, hotels, cars, dinner reservations, and building real travel time into the calendar). As needed, coordinate personal appointments and personal travel. Run a weekly review of his to-do list to proactively spot admin work you can take off his plate. Create systems and processes to keep our CEO organized and focused on what matters most!
  • Own the vibe of our NYC office - Keep the space stocked and running smoothly: supply and snack orders, the Thursday team lunch, dรฉcor and general tidiness, WeWork guest access, and booking/prepping rooms for external meetings and guests.
  • Support Offsite Planning - Support logistics for company off-sites including scouting and booking the venue and hotels, arranging conference space, coordinating travel and meals, and handling day-of logistics so everything runs without a hitch.
  • Enhance team culture - Plan and execute NYC happy hours and our end-of-year holiday party, coordinate end of year customer gifts. Identify and drive other initiatives forward that bring the team together and strengthen company culture.
  • Company Communications - Support with creation of weekly company all-hands and quarterly company strategic presentations**.** Conduct background research and support with drafting talking points, emails, LinkedIn posts, and other written materials for the CEO.
  • Support People Ops - Support with new hire onboarding and help the People team with ad-hoc projects as needed.
  • Special Projects - Jump in wherever needed, whether it's sending swag and gifts, planning an event, or digging into a new initiative.

Who You Are
  • 1-2 years of experience in a fast-paced, detail-heavy role. Administrative or Assistant experience is a plus, not a requirement. What matters is that you're organized, reliable, and follow things through to the finish.
  • You're genuinely excited about climate and startups. You want to be close to the mission and the pace of an early-stage company.
  • You're hungry to learn and coachable. You take feedback well, ask good questions, and level up quickly.
  • You're ambitious and autonomous. You don't wait to be told what to do; you spot what needs handling and take it on.
  • You sweat the details. Nothing slips through the cracks on your watch, whether it's a calendar conflict or a typo in an invite.

Why You'll Love Working With Us
  • Competitive benchmarked compensation
  • Health and retirement benefits
  • Flexible time off
  • Exciting, mission-driven work that has impact
  • Regular company off-sites

We are committed to building an inclusive working environment and doing our part to create a more equitable world. We strongly encourage applicants from underrepresented and/or historically marginalized communities to apply.
