This is an on-site position. Our offices are located in Portland, Oregon.

• This role provides direct support to a fast-moving CEO, designing and administering the core systems that keep his world running smoothly in a rapidly changing environment.

Coordinate effectively with internal and external stakeholders cleanly and without creating friction. Support scheduling for other company leaders at the CEO’s discretion.
• Event & Visit Coordination: Own planning, coordination, and execution for site visits and external engagement including investor visits, group tours, speaking opportunities, and media appearances.
• Travel: Arrange CEO travel including last-minute bookings, transportation, required documentation, and occasional on-the-ground support. Support travel arrangements for other company leaders at the CEO’s discretion.
• Meeting Preparation & Follow-Through: Ensure the CEO is on time and prepared for meetings and commitments by managing reminders and the capturing of key details such as important decisions, follow-ups, and next steps.
• Confidentiality & Judgment: Handle sensitive personal and professional information with absolute discretion. Read situations well, including when to engage, when to be brief, and when not to interrupt.

Build and maintain low-touch, reliable systems for facilitating household management, appointments, errands, and other personal logistics.
