    • Serve as a key liaison to executives, board members, investors, partners, and government stakeholders
    • Coordinate executive meetings, offsites, board events, and customer engagements
    • Draft communications on behalf of the CEO and maintain key documents and files
    • Handle sensitive and confidential matters with absolute discretion
Additional Executive Support
  • Provide scheduling, travel, and expense support to additional senior leaders (Co-Founder and CRO)
    • Coordinate cross-functional initiatives with the Chief of Staff and executive team
    • Support board, investor, and leadership meetings, including logistics and follow-ups
    • Manage administrative workflows such as expenses, document routing, and contact management
About You
  • 4-8 years of experience supporting CEOs or senior executives in fast-paced tech environments
    • Proven ability to manage complex calendars, inboxes, and international logistics with minimal oversight
    • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
    • Strong judgment, discretion, and ability to handle sensitive information
    • Highly organized, proactive, and able to manage shifting priorities
    • Comfortable working across global time zones with schedule flexibility
    • Strong proficiency in Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office tools
    • Interest in AI tools and enthusiasm for building AI-augmented workflows
Bonus Points For
  • Experience supporting globally distributed teams or international executives
    • Exposure to government, defense, or regulated environments
    • Experience with board and investor coordination
    • Familiarity with tools like Salesforce, NetSuite, or similar platforms
    • Multilingual or international experience

    • Opportunity to work directly with a founder-led executive team
    • High-growth environment with strong ownership and career development
