Executive Assistant

We are searching for an exceptional Executive Assistant on behalf of a Bay Area founder leading a well-established organization. The role is based in Palo Alto, in-office 5 days/week and compensation will be around $200K.

You will serve as the right hand to a founder whose schedule, relationships, and priorities demand someone who thinks several steps ahead, communicates with precision, and executes without gaps. You will manage a complex calendar, coordinate domestic and international travel, handle sensitive correspondence, and serve as a trusted point of contact for a wide range of high-profile stakeholders. You will also backstop broader team coordination, including meetings, events, and day-to-day operations.

Beyond skills and experience, the right person brings genuine intellectual curiosity, a strong work ethic, unquestionable integrity, and a natural orientation toward impact. You are comfortable operating independently, adapting quickly, and doing whatever it takes to support a principal whose time and attention are among the organization's most valuable resources.
