The Role

We are looking for an Executive Assistant to work directly with the Founding Partner and provide high-level administrative, organizational, communication, and execution support.

This role is for someone highly organized, discreet, fast, reliable, and able to manage multiple priorities without being constantly reminded. The ideal candidate must be comfortable working in a demanding environment where speed, accuracy, communication, and follow-through matter.

The person will support calendar management, emails, documentation, scheduling, meeting preparation, follow-ups, task tracking, travel coordination, and general executive organization.

What You'll Own

• Manage the Founding Partner’s calendar, meetings, reminders, schedules, follow-ups, and daily priorities.
• Draft, organize, and track emails, documents, meeting notes, reports, letters, memos, and internal communications.
• Coordinate meetings, calls, travel, logistics, reservations, errands, and administrative tasks.
• Maintain organized folders, trackers, contact lists, task lists, and records across Google Workspace and other tools.
• Follow up with internal teams, portfolio companies, partners, vendors, and external stakeholders to ensure tasks are completed on time.

What We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Operations Assistant, or similar role.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, communication, discretion, and follow-through.
• Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, especially Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive.
• Ability to use ChatGPT and other AI tools thoughtfully to improve writing, organization, research, and execution.
• High energy, strong availability, emotional maturity, and ability to work under pressure without losing composure or quality.

Strong Plus

• Experience supporting a founder, CEO, Managing Director, investor, or senior executive.
• Experience in finance, startups, consulting, venture capital, investment, or professional services.
• Strong business writing skills across emails, letters, memos, summaries, and reports.
• Ability to prepare clean presentations, simple reports, trackers, and executive briefs.
• Ambitious, humble, teachable, and interested in learning about finance, technology, startups, and business operations.

What We’re Not Looking For

• Someone who needs to be chased constantly.
• Someone who is careless with details or poor with follow-up.
• Someone who cannot handle pressure, urgency, or shifting priorities.
• Someone who lacks discretion or cannot manage confidential information.
• Someone who treats the role as basic admin rather than executive support.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive base salary.
• Direct exposure to the Founding Partner and senior decision-making.
• Experience working across finance, venture building, portfolio companies, and technology.
• Real responsibility in a fast-moving and high-performance environment.
• Performance-based bonuses for excellent execution and reliability.
