Senior Administrative Partner

As Marqeta's Senior Administrative Partner to our Chief People Officer (CPO), you will provide steady, reliable support to our dynamic CPO in a fast-paced environment. You'll leverage your exceptional organizational skills, resilience, and composure to navigate shifting priorities with ease. Operating behind the scenes, you'll serve as a proactive, detail-oriented, and unflappable partner who takes pride in ensuring seamless operations and anticipating needs before they arise.

While we work Flexible First, this role requires in-person presence at our Oakland office every Tuesday, with additional in-office days as needed for key moments such as Board meetings and leadership team onsites. We'd love for you to join us!

The Impact You'll Have

• Provide primary executive support to the CPO - including calendar management, expense reports, and complex travel arrangements.


• Light administrative support (calendars and expenses) to select members of the CPO leadership team.


• Manage a complex and dynamic calendar, navigating frequent changes and prioritizing meetings with sound judgment.


• Coordinate domestic and international travel with precision - including flights, hotels, ground transport, and dining - ensuring alignment with the CPO’s preferences and standards.


• Prepare and process expense reports accurately and efficiently.


• Handle special projects and logistics such as team offsites, milestone and holiday gifts


• Anticipate needs, stay several steps ahead, and respond quickly in a highly fluid environment.


• Manage light operational or finance-related activities such as purchase orders and vendor coordination.


• Be willing to jump in wherever needed - whether that’s coordinating a last-minute meeting, troubleshooting a travel issue, or running out to grab coffee.


• Communicate clearly and professionally across the CPO’s leadership team and cross-functional partners.


• Maintain discretion, professionalism, and a sense of humor -  even when things change unexpectedly.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of professional experience in administrative support, with 2+ years of Executive level support (either C-Suite at a similarly-sized firm, or VP+ at a larger company)

• Experience supporting an executive with access to highly sensitive information (ideally a CHRO, CFO, CLO, or comparable role)


• Ability to perform this role in-person in our Oakland office every Tuesday, with willingness to be present in-person for other key moments (Board meetings, leadership team onsites, etc)


• Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and other key tools for managing work in a distributed global environment
