About The Job

We are looking for an Executive Assistant to partner closely with designated members of the leadership team, ensuring they can focus on their highest-impact priorities and maximize their productivity and bandwidth. This is a high-energy, hardworking, and affable team that values partners who anticipate what needs to get done, take action accordingly, and thoughtfully problem-solve issues that arise unexpectedly.

In this role, you will be a trusted extension of the leaders you support, bringing structure, clarity, and foresight to their day-to-day operations. You will strategically manage multiple complex calendars, coordinate a high volume of internal and external investor and client-facing meetings, oversee often last-minute travel logistics, and maintain organized, high-touch inbox management. In addition, you'll work on ad hoc projects and initiatives that increase alignment, accelerate decision-making, and strengthen communication across the leadership team.

Responsibilities:

• Complex calendar management: You will strategically organize, manage, and maintain complex, high-volume calendars across multiple leaders and time zones. Coordinate internal and external meetings with a clear understanding of context and priorities to optimize leaders' time. Anticipate and resolve scheduling conflicts proactively, streamline recurring commitments, and ensure seamless coordination across the leadership team.

• Cross-functional support: You will partner with the leadership team to synchronize calendars, establish meeting rhythms, streamline logistics, and coordinate major events such as off-sites and board meetings. Maintain comprehensive tracking of scheduling to-dos and meeting follow-ups, while also taking ownership and action on emails where able to.
• Complex inbox management: You will oversee multiple inboxes, triaging and prioritizing communications, drafting and responding on behalf of leadership, and ensuring seamless follow-through on all correspondence.
• Event planning: You will plan, execute, and manage all logistics for company and team events, including offsites. Responsibilities include budget forecasting, venue selection, accommodations, transportation, and internal communications, ensuring clear agendas, timely updates, and seamless execution from start to finish.
• Employee experience and in-office culture: You will own the design and execution of programming that fosters connection, belonging, and morale across both in-office and remote employees including team rituals, celebrations, and milestone recognition. Proactively identify gaps in the employee experience and drive initiatives that keep a distributed team feeling engaged and connected.
• Office management: You will oversee day-to-day operations of the NYC office, ensuring the workspace runs smoothly and reflects a high standard of functionality. Manage local vendor relationships, supply procurement, and space planning, partnering closely with the San Diego-based facilities team to maintain seamless operations and drive improvements as the company scales.
• Ad hoc projects, including coordinating cross-functional initiatives and providing light team support as the company continues to scale.
