Executive Assistant To Partner Jobs in Reading, PA

FLX Solutions is redefining how critical infrastructure is inspected and maintained using advanced robotic systems that enhance mission readiness and safety.

Our patented FLX BOT solves one of the toughest challenges in maintenance: reaching the “last meter” in complex environments. It is a modular, snake-like robotic platform already in use with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and major shipbuilders, with expanding applications in industrial, transit, and construction sectors. In paid Navy pilots, the FLX BOT reduced inspection times by up to 90% while eliminating teardowns and confined space entry.

FLX Solutions is scaling from successful pilots to full commercialization. The CEO manages multiple active government programs, an investor pipeline, and a growing engineering team. We are hiring an Executive Assistant to own the daily administrative operations that support him: scheduling, communications, meeting preparation, follow-up, and deadline tracking.

This is a career executive assistant position, and we are looking for someone who is excellent at the profession. You will work directly with the CEO in our Bethlehem office and be trusted with sensitive information across defense programs, fundraising, and personnel. Discretion, accuracy, and consistent follow-through are the core requirements of the job.

You will be supported by an experienced fractional operations advisor who owns process design and company-level operations. Your focus is execution: keeping the CEO's day, communications, and commitments running without gaps.

• Book and manage business travel and related logistics
• Coordinate internal and external communications on the CEO's behalf
• Provide occasional personal administrative support to the CEO

• An experienced executive assistant who takes pride in the profession and intends to build a career in it

• Highly organized, with demonstrated systems for managing tasks, contacts, and deadlines
• Discreet and professional in handling confidential business, financial, and personnel information

• Digital native with demonstrated proficiency in AI tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 proficiency

• Treat all with respect. Period.
• Leave a situation better than you found it
• Just because something has always been done a certain way doesn't mean it has to be done that way in the future
