  • Executive Coordination: Drive cross-functional follow-ups and ensure important decisions move seamlessly from discussion to closure.
  • Problem Solving: Take ambiguous, time-sensitive problems, bring structure to them, and independently drive them toward resolution.
  • Executive Readiness: Ensure the CEO has the right context, stakeholders, information, and materials ahead of critical conversations and meetings.
  • Operating Rhythm: Seamlessly manage the CEO's calendar, priorities, meetings, travel, visas, and logistics as part of the broader executive operating system.
  • Confidentiality & Judgement: Handle sensitive information and high-stakes situations with maturity, discretion, and sound judgement.

Candidate Profile

  • Experience: 2+ years in an EA, Business/Management Assistant, Consulting, Strategy, Founder's Office, or similar high-ownership role.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: Sharp capability to structure ambiguous problems and transition efficiently from question $rightarrow$ insight $rightarrow$ action.
  • Analytical Capability: Strong analytical and research skills with the ability to simplify complex information.
  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication, with the confidence to interact with senior stakeholders.
  • Execution & Detail: Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail, follow-through, and execution discipline.
  • Autonomy: Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment.
  • Technical Proficiency: Strong proficiency in Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and modern AI/productivity tools.
  • Mindset: High judgement, discretion, and intellectual curiosity.
  • Preferred (Plus): Direct experience working with a Founder/CEO in consulting, strategy, a startup, or a high-growth organization.

What We Offer & What to Expect
