What You'll Be Doing (Responsibilities):

• Calendar Management: Own complex, high-volume calendars for C-suite executives across multiple time zones and offices. Triage competing priorities, make independent tradeoff decisions on scheduling, and proactively resolve conflicts before they surface.
• Meeting Coordination: Run logistics for executive staff meetings, leadership offsites, and board and investor meetings - agendas, pre-reads, materials, follow-ups. Ensure executives walk into every meeting prepared.
• Travel Arrangements: Arrange and coordinate travel logistics for executives, including flight bookings, hotel accommodations, ground transportation, and any other travel-related requirements.
• Communication Facilitation: Serve as gatekeeper and trusted proxy for the C-suite with internal leaders, board members, investors, and external partners. Draft and respond to communications on the executives' behalf where appropriate.

• Proven Experience: 8+ years as an Executive Assistant, including at least 4 years directly supporting C-level executives (CEO, CFO, COO, or equivalent). Experience supporting a founder or CEO at a venture-backed tech or media company is strongly preferred.
• Executive Judgment: Track record of operating autonomously on behalf of an executive - making decisions, setting priorities, and pushing back when needed without waiting for direction.
• Board and Stakeholder Exposure: Direct experience coordinating with board members, investors, or comparable senior external stakeholders.
• Organizational Skills: Demonstrated ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, set priorities, and meet deadlines while maintaining a high level of attention to detail.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interact professionally with individuals at all levels of the organization and external partners.
• Tech Savvy: Proficiency in using productivity tools such as Google Suite, Slack, calendar management software, and other relevant applications.
• Adaptability: Able to thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, adapting to changing priorities and handling unexpected situations with composure.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify issues, propose solutions, and make sound decisions.
