To navigate these situations successfully, strong organizational skills, discretion, and proactive communication are essential. Building strong relationships with both executives and other team members helps anticipate needs and streamline workflows, ensuring that senior leaders are supported efficiently and professionally.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Executive Associate, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Executive Associate, you need strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and experience in administrative support, often supported by a bachelor's degree or relevant work background. Familiarity with office productivity software such as Microsoft Office Suite, calendar management tools, and sometimes project management platforms is essential. Exceptional communication, discretion, and problem-solving abilities help you effectively support executives and manage sensitive information. These skills ensure smooth operations, efficient workflow, and strong executive support critical to organizational success.

What are Executive Associates?

Executive Associates are professionals who provide high-level administrative and operational support to senior executives or leadership teams within an organization. Their responsibilities often include managing schedules, coordinating meetings, handling correspondence, preparing reports, and sometimes assisting with project management. Executive Associates act as liaisons between executives and other staff or external stakeholders, ensuring efficient communication and workflow. They play a critical role in helping executives stay organized and focused on strategic priorities.

Job description

Who we are
Foundation models have transformed text and images, but structured data - the largest and most consequential data modality in the world - has remained untouched. Tables power every clinical trial, every financial model, every scientific experiment, every business decision. No one has built a foundation model that truly understands them.
Until now. What LLMs did for language, we're doing for tables. The next modality shift in AI is happening - and we're hiring the team that makes it.
Momentum: We pioneered tabular foundation models and are now the world-leading organization in structured data ML. Our TabPFN v2 model was published in Nature and set a new state-of-the-art for tabular machine learning. Since its release, we've scaled model capabilities more than 20x, reached 3M+ downloads, 6,000+ GitHub stars, and are seeing accelerating adoption across research and industry - from detecting lung disease with Oxford Cancer Analytics to preventing train failures with Hitachi to improving clinical trial decisions with BostonGene.
The hardest work is in front of us. We're scaling tabular foundation models to handle millions of rows, thousands of features, real-time inference, and entirely new data modalities - while building the infrastructure to deploy them in production across some of the most demanding industries on earth. These are open problems no one else is working on at this level.
Our team: We're a small, highly selective team of 20+ engineers, researchers and GTM specialists, selected from over 5,000 applicants, with backgrounds spanning Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, G-Research, Jane Street, Goldman Sachs, and CERN, led by Frank Hutter, Noah Hollmann and Sauraj Gambhir and advised by world-leading AI researchers such as Bernhard Schölkopf and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun. We ship fast, create top-tier research, and hold each other to an extremely high bar.
What's Next: In 2025, we raised €9m pre-seed led by Balderton Capital, backed by leaders from Hugging Face, DeepMind, and Black Forest Labs. The next phase of growth is here which makes this an optimal time to join.
Your Mission
As our Executive Associate in New York City, you'll provide essential executive support and administrative excellence as we build our presence in the market. You'll manage complex calendars, coordinate executive priorities and ensure operational efficiency - serving as the trusted partner who keeps leadership focused and the office running seamlessly.
Location: New York City, Union Square
What You'll Do
Office Establishment & Management
  • Keep our NYC office running smoothly and handle guest management
  • Establish office systems and processes from the ground up
  • Manage day-to-day office operations including supplies, vendors, mail, and ensuring our workspace is organized and functional
  • Coordinate with other office locations and streamline processes

Executive Support
  • Provide hands-on executive assistant support to Prior Labs' founders
  • Manage calendar, book travels, handle administrative tasks
  • Anticipate needs and proactively solve problems before they arise

Culture Building
  • Shape the culture of our New York office
  • Create a welcoming, productive environment that reflects our values
  • Plan and coordinate office events, lunch breaks and team gatherings
  • Be the person who sets the tone and makes everyone's day better

Operations Foundation
  • Build the operational infrastructure for a growing team
  • Create processes that will scale as we grow
  • Be the go-to person for office-related questions and needs

Who You Are
You're a hands-on, self-starter who thrives on building things from scratch. You love creating order out of chaos, take ownership naturally, and don't need to be told what to do next. You're excited by the idea of being the first operations person on the ground and shaping how things work.
This role is perfect if you:
  • Are energized by variety and wearing multiple hats
  • Take initiative and ownership without needing direction
  • Enjoy being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes
  • Thrive in ambiguity and fast-paced environments

Essential Background:
  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills
  • Strong communication skills in English (other languages a plus)
  • Proactive, can-do attitude and willingness to tackle any task
  • Genuine interest in startups, technology, and operations

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Previous experience in office management, executive assistant roles, or operations
  • Experience working in startup or fast-paced environments
  • Project management experience (especially office moves or setups)

Location
This role is based in New York City
What We Offer
  • Compensation: Competitive compensation benchmarked to the Freiburg market
  • Tools & environment: You'll have access to modern tools to help you be as productive as possible! (We use Apple, GSuite, Notion and Claude!)
  • Offsites: Annual company-wide offsites to bring the whole team together (last one was in the Alps )
  • Benefits: 20 days of paid vacation plus public holidays to rest, recharge, and explore. Comprehensive private healthcare including dental and vision coverage, because we believe in taking care of the whole you. Plus a 401(k) with company matching to help you build toward the future.

Life at Prior Labs
We're a small, ambitious team solving one of the hardest problems in AI, and we're just getting started. You'll work closely with world-class researchers and builders who care deeply about the quality of their craft, the impact of their work, and the people they work with.
We move fast, we think rigorously, and we take the time to do things right. If you're excited by hard problems, motivated by real-world impact, and want to be part of building something that matters, we'd love to hear from you.
Our Commitments
We believe the best products and teams come from a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. That's why we welcome applications from people of all identities and walks of life, especially anyone who's ever felt discouraged by "not checking every box."
We're committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment and providing equal opportunities regardless of gender, sexual orientation, origin, disability, or any other trait that makes you who you are.
We care about how your data is handled. Read our Recruiting Privacy Notice to see exactly what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.
