Full Time Remote Executive Assistant Jobs in California

We're hiring an Executive Assistant / Operations Coordinator to keep our leadership team organized and our operations running smoothly as we sprint toward public launch.

• Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
• Flexible Time: Can do full-time, part-time, side-gig (off-hours), or fractional (contract).
• Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term, long-term, or intermittent.

Why so flexible? We're a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q3 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in, help us ship, then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long-term "side gig" relationships, if that's what you're into—in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

We're a credible, funded, remote-first startup backed by a growing team. We're pre-launch and moving fast.

Startup founders are busy. Ours are no exception — they're juggling product, fundraising, hiring, partnerships, and a dozen fires at once. What they need is someone who can take the operational chaos off their plate so they can focus on the work that moves the company forward.

This is part EA, part ops coordinator, part "make sure nothing gets dropped." You'll manage calendars, coordinate across teams, keep projects on track, handle logistics, and generally be the person who makes sure the machine runs. If you're the type who gets satisfaction from bringing order to chaos, this is your role.

Up to $75,000 max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model, comp will be structured accordingly — fractional or hourly arrangements welcome.

• You've gotten access to calendars, project tools, and communication channels
• You've met the leadership team and understand their priorities, schedules, and working styles
• You've taken ownership of calendar management and started coordinating meetings
• You've identified at least one operational bottleneck and started cleaning it up
• The team knows who you are, why you're here, and how you'll work together

• Manage executive calendars — schedule, reschedule, protect time blocks, and make sure leadership shows up prepared
• Coordinate across teams — keep communication flowing between departments so nothing falls through the cracks
• Track projects and deadlines — maintain project trackers, follow up on action items, and flag things that are slipping
• Handle logistics — travel, events, vendor coordination, and the random operational tasks that come with a startup
• Prepare materials — pull together decks, agendas, notes, and summaries so meetings are productive

Must-haves:

• 2+ years as an executive assistant, operations coordinator, chief of staff, or similar role
• Extremely organized — you manage multiple priorities without dropping balls
• Strong written and verbal communication — you represent leadership professionally
• Proactive — you anticipate needs before being asked
• Comfortable with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, or similar project management platforms

Nice-to-have:

• Experience supporting founders or C-suite in a startup environment
• Familiarity with basic bookkeeping, HR coordination, or vendor management
• Comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

• Not an office manager — we're fully remote; this is coordination, not facilities
• Not a personal assistant — this is professional support, not errands
• Not a project manager — you'll track projects, but you're not owning strategy or roadmap
