About Mesa Quantum

Mesa Quantum is building the next generation of quantum sensing and Position, Navigation,

and Timing (PNT) technologies. Our mission is to make quantum technologies practical,

scalable, and deployable in real-world applications ranging from national security to critical

We are a fast-growing deep-tech startup backed by leading investors, government partners, and

industry stakeholders. As we continue to scale, we are looking for an exceptional Executive

Assistant to support our CEO and help keep the organization operating efficiently.

We are looking for a highly organized, proactive, and resourceful Executive Assistant who

thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys bringing order to complexity. Your primary

objective is simple: enable the CEO to operate at maximum effectiveness by proactively

managing logistics, communication, scheduling, priorities, and follow-through.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly responsive, calm under pressure, and

exceptionally good at getting things done. They anticipate needs before being asked,

communicate clearly, and ensure important tasks never fall through the cracks.

If you enjoy solving problems, coordinating people, and making life easier for others, this role

may be a great fit.
