Executive Assistant & Office Manager

Location: NYC (onsite only – not remote)

Alliance is the leading accelerator for crypto founders. Since 2020 we've backed 300+ startups (Rain, Synthetix, Pendle, and many more), now collectively valued at $15B+.

We're hiring an Executive Assistant & Office Manager to support both the day-to-day operations of our NYC office and provide direct support to leadership.

What you'll do

Office Operations

• Maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming office environment throughout the day
• Stock and organize office supplies, snacks, beverages, and kitchen inventory
• Ensure meeting rooms and common spaces are guest-ready at all times
• Manage incoming mail, deliveries, and package organization
• Coordinate with vendors, building management, cleaners, and service providers
• Help maintain calendars for shared office resources and meeting spaces
• Provide support to leadership and team members on day-to-day coordination tasks

Executive Assistant Support

• Manage calendars, scheduling, and meeting coordination for leadership
• Coordinate travel arrangements, reservations, and itineraries
• Handle personal errands, appointments, and administrative tasks as needed
• Track action items, deadlines, and follow-ups across workstreams
• Assist with inbox management, document preparation, and light research
• Coordinate logistics for meetings, guests, and external engagements

What we're looking for

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently and proactively identify needs
• High emotional intelligence and discretion.

Strong qualifications (nice to have)

• Startup, coworking, hospitality, or events experience
• Experience working in fast-paced or highly collaborative environments
• Interest in startups, founders, or entrepreneurship

Why NOT join us

• Not willing to get hands dirty: doesn't matter how important you were in past organizations; at Alliance we're all builders, not managers (even though many of us were managers in past lives).
• Prioritizing work/life balance: this role demands focus, hunger, and a career-defining level of commitment. You must be locked in.
• Low agency: if you need someone else to set your priorities or keep you on track, you will fail.
• You can't relocate to NYC. This is non-negotiable: our founders are here, and so are we.

Why join us

• Work with the most ambitious founders in crypto and AI. Learn firsthand from hundreds of startups succeeding – or failing.
• Join a small, high-trust, high-performance team with outsized impact. We're ex-Meta, WhatsApp, Coinbase, YC, and have collectively founded multiple venture-backed startups.
• We're backed by S-tier investors including Initialized Capital, Founders Fund, Multicoin, and Dragonfly, along with angels such as Balaji Srinivasan (ex-Coinbase CTO), Kevin Weil (CPO at OpenAI), Kevin Lin (Twitch co-founder), and Jeremy Allaire (Circle CEO), among many others.
• Direct ownership and visibility: your work shapes how the next generation of founders discovers Alliance.
• Career accelerator: this role sets you up, experience- and network-wise, for any high-impact path in crypto/AI – at startups, venture firms, or your own company.
• Alliance startups are reinventing industries – from media to payments – and improving the lives of everyday people. You'll have a front-row seat as they change the world.
