Executive Assistant to Founder & CEO

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Location: Gurugram

JobType: full-time

We are hiring a high-ownership Executive Assistant to the Founder & CEO (Founder’s Office) — a strategic, execution-driven role that combines executive stewardship, business analysis, and brand amplification. This is not a traditional administrative position. It is a high-trust role designed to act as the CEO’s force multiplier — ensuring his time, decisions, context, and communication are aligned with the company’s scale ambitions. You will operate at the center of leadership, connecting meetings, priorities, insights, and follow-through across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

1. Executive Stewardship & Operational Excellence

• Own and optimize the CEO’s calendar, priorities, and daily rhythm.
• Gatekeep meetings with maturity and strong judgment.
• Prepare structured briefs ahead of meetings.
• Capture minutes of meetings and convert them into actionable tasks.
• Track commitments across teams and ensure timely closure.
• Manage communication flow across email, messaging, and stakeholder interactions.
• Build systems that bring structure, clarity, and calm to high-volume decision-making.

2. Business Analysis & Strategic Context

• Sit in key meetings to interpret discussions through the CEO lens.
• Translate conversations into concise, high-signal summaries and follow-up actions.
• Review daily operational dashboards and distill what truly requires attention.
• Identify risks, misalignments, and cross-functional dependencies early.
• Ensure continuity across decisions so strategic context is never lost.
• Provide synthesized insights, not just reports, to sharpen leadership thinking.

3. Brand, PR & External Stakeholder Management

• Support thought leadership through LinkedIn content and brand-aligned communication.
• Identify PR, speaking, and partnership opportunities.
• Draft polished external communications and briefing notes.
• Coordinate outreach to partners, founders, investors, and institutional stakeholders.
• Represent the CEO selectively in professional interactions when required.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 2–5 years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Strategic Assistant, Founder’s Office, or business operations professional.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with exceptional clarity.
• Analytical orientation — ability to interpret dashboards, data, and operational signals.
• High emotional intelligence, discretion, and trustworthiness.
• Structured, detail-oriented, and obsessed with follow-through.
• Proactive mindset with the ability to anticipate needs before they are articulated.
• Calm under pressure with strong situational awareness.
• Comfortable working closely with senior leadership and high accountability environments.
• Service mindset combined with sharp business thinking.
