    • 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
