Executive Assistant to CEO

Executive Assistant To CEO

We're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to our CEO. Someone who understands the business, not just the day-to-day, and who's ready to take ownership of his calendar, inbox, travel, and everyone who needs time with him. We want someone who's already done this well for a CEO or senior executive, and is hungry to keep growing their career in a fast-moving, high-growth company.

We're a fully remote, high-trust team that comes together twice a year for off-sites to connect in person. Given the nature of this role, we're prioritizing candidates based in or around Austin, Texas, to allow for in-person time with Chad when needed.

In This Role, You Will:

• Own Chad's calendar end to end, protecting his time and making the call on what actually deserves a spot on it
• Manage his inbox with full autonomy: triaging, drafting responses, and flagging what's high priority
• Bring a strategic lens to what's on his calendar. Push people to show up prepared, and act as the filter before things land on his desk
• Plan and coordinate all of his travel, handling every detail so nothing gets missed
• Be the connective tissue between Chad and everyone on the team who needs time with him. You'll know what's urgent, what can wait, and what needs context first
• Build and maintain the systems, including AI tools like Claude, that keep you both organized and moving fast
• Anticipate what he needs before he has to ask

We're Looking For Someone Who:

• Has 5+ years of experience as an executive assistant to a CEO or senior executive, ideally at a high-growth or startup company
• Has handled sensitive, highly confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
• Knows the business, not just the calendar
• Makes sharp calls on priorities with little to no oversight
• Has used, or wants to use, AI tools like Claude to stay organized and move fast

Approach To The Role:

• You're already 10 steps ahead. Nobody has to tell you what's next
• You treat sensitive information like it's your own
• You move fast with precision
• This is a craft to you, not a stepping stone. You take real pride in being great at it

Compensation & Benefits:

At Grns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. This role includes a base salary and bonus paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team.

Everyone at Grns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grns subscriptions, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
