Nfx Jobs (NOW HIRING)

To our EXTRAORDINARY EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT,
Hello!
We are NFX, a seed stage venture capital fund based in San Francisco led by four General Partners who've started ten companies that exited for over $10 billion. We have a dynamic team creating inspired content and building software tools for early-stage founders.
We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support one of our GPs in our Hayes Valley office at 34 Page St.
Who Are You?
You thrive working independentlyYou will be supporting a GP who often works unpredictable hours, and you will be taking the lead managing his fast-paced life full of travel and meetings with top founders and investors. You must excel at managing your own time to be as efficient as possible.
You're a pro at keeping projects and tasks on trackYou understand that in a fast-moving venture environment, staying focused and deadline-driven is critical. You proactively prevent schedule drift, flag potential delays before they become problems, and have a natural ability to keep both yourself and your GP focused on priorities without getting derailed by distractions.
You can make more hours appear each dayYou work magic with schedules. You look at a jam-packed calendar and you're excited by the challenge. You can glance at a crazed schedule and make back-to-back investor and founder meetings, international travel, and last minute calls work.
You're wired for more We're an all-hands-on-deck team, and this role is no exception. Beyond keeping your GP on track, you'll have the chance to roll up your sleeves on ops initiatives that keep NFX running - whether that's supporting investor relations, helping bring our AGM to life, or diving into whatever project needs an extra set of capable hands. You don't wait for someone else to step in; you see this as a chance to grow, learn the business from the inside, and make an outsized impact. While supporting your GP is always your top priority, the more you take on beyond that, the more you'll get out of it - and we want people who are hungry for exactly that.
You love working in personFace-to-face collaboration energizes you, and you understand that the best EA work happens when you're physically present - reading the room, anticipating and responding to needs in real-time, course-correcting in the moment, and keeping everyone aligned, focused, and on schedule throughout the day. Your presence keeps things fun and moving forward.
You're AI-literate and curiousWhether it's using AI tools to streamline scheduling, summarizing decks, or drafting emails, you're looking for an edge. You naturally reach for AI tools to make things faster, easier, and more seamless. You're always experimenting with the latest tech to reduce friction, save time, and help the GPs operate better and faster.
Challenges entertain youYour GP needs to visit five cities across the country in four days? You're booking flights, searching for the easy routes, and finding the best local coffee shops. If your GP needs to cancel at the last minute, you're already thinking about Plan B (and C).
You're resourceful and have a lot of hustleNo task is outside your wheelhouse - if you don't know how to do something you'll figure out how to make it happen. We move fast, and you'll have no problem keeping up.
You don't have an egoYou're here to execute and your goal is to make sure your GP is operating at his peak. You find satisfaction in knowing things are running smoothly because of you - even when no one notices.
For you, work is always onThere's a blurred line between work and play. You know that sometimes the best work isn't restricted to 9-5. You go with the flow, you're flexible, and enjoy the ride.
The core role:

• Work from our beautiful Hayes Valley office.
• Coordinate internal and external meetings. You are an expert at Google Calendar and Zoom.
• Collect and prepare information for presentations and personal tasks. A form we submitted 6 months ago? You'll know where to find it.
• Keep priorities clear and timelines on track. You'll help ensure commitments are met, meetings are starting on time, and your GP stays focused on what matters most.
• Coordinate all travel arrangements. Taxi, train, airplane all in one day? You make it happen with ease.
• Be available to assist with last minute changes to travel and meetings.

Compensation: $100,000 - $130,000 annual salary, dependent on experience.
Benefits:

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your dependents
• 100% employer-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance
• 401(k) with generous match
• Flexible time offand 14 paid holidays a year
• 4 months paid parental leave
• Mobile data credit
• Commuter benefits
• A team of high-caliber, principled, fun peoplewho are startup tech professionals, not financiers

The nitty-gritty stuff. If you're still reading this . . . here's the deal. You'll be supporting a GP who is busy, traveling often, and juggling 20+ things at any one time. You'll need to keep things moving smoothly and be quick to respond when urgent needs arise. One of the most important parts of this role is to act as a guardrail for your GP - you keep schedules and priorities clear. You are able to redirect when things veer off course and ensure deadlines don't slip.
To make all this look easy, you're going to need five or more years of experience as an EA or similar role and a track record of delighting people. Your friends (and even strangers) trust you with their secrets, and The Force runs strong within you.
If this is you, we want to meet you!
