You’ll be the go-to person for ensuring our CEO is set up for success, our office is welcoming and efficient, and our team members and customers are cared for.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Executive Support

• Manage complex calendars, prioritize time, and coordinate internal/external meetings -- not manually, but using the best tools modern tech has to offer (like Calendly)

• Book travel, help with expenses, and handle logistics for the CEO and other executives

• Ensure follow-ups and action items are tracked and closed

Office & Facilities Management

• Oversee office operations, vendors, supplies, and workplace upkeep

General Admin & Ops Support

• Help coordinate events like team offsites and all-hands meetings

• Maintain internal documentation and assist with people ops and communications

• Step in on ad hoc projects and tasks to keep the business running smoothly
  

REQUIREMENTS

• 3–6 years experience in operations, executive support, or workplace management

• Highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented

• Excellent communicator and trusted with sensitive information

• Thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment and love wearing multiple hats

• Hospitality mindset: you love creating great experiences for others

• Find-problems ethic: you don't need to be told what to do; you find things that are broken and fix them.

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Experience at a high-growth startup

• Familiarity with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Expensify, or travel platforms

• Creative eye for swag, events, or office aesthetics
