About Virio
Virio is building the next-generation B2B GTM stack. Backed by investors and operators from LinkedIn, YouTube, HubSpot, Rippling, and Google, we help the fastest-growing B2B companies go to market through executive-led content that drives revenue. We are now looking for an Executive Operations to support our founders and executive team as we scale.
What You'll Do
- Own the founders' calendars, inboxes, and communications - triaging, drafting, and following up on their behalf
- Run meeting logistics end to end - agendas, briefings, and follow-ups for internal and external calls
- Support the sales process - coordinating outreach, follow-ups, and client communications
- Handle travel, event, and off-site logistics
- Manage office operations - keeping the workspace stocked, organized, and running smoothly
- Own cross-functional task tracking and keep internal projects moving
- Build systems that eliminate recurring friction and reduce founder overhead
What Makes You a Great Fit
- 1-3 years of EO experience - You've held an Executive Assistant or closely related role and know what it takes to support high-output leaders effectively
- Startup experience - You've worked in fast-moving, early-stage environments where context switches constantly and priorities shift overnight
- Exec support background - You've supported a founder, C-suite executive, or senior leader directly - ideally in a startup or high-growth tech company
- Communication excellence - You write sharp, professional emails and can represent a founder's voice accurately and confidently
- Sales awareness - You understand the rhythm of a sales process and can support outreach, follow-up, and pipeline coordination without hand-holding
- Systems mindset - You don't just complete tasks - you build repeatable systems so the same problem never happens twice
- Operational fluency - Comfortable with tools like Notion, HubSpot, Google Workspace, Slack, and other modern ops and productivity stacks
- Impeccable judgment - You know when to act independently and when to escalate; discretion is non-negotiable
Traits That Thrive at Virio
- High agency & ownership - Takes initiative without waiting for detailed instructions; follows through to completion without reminders
- Anticipatory thinking - Sees around corners and solves problems before they surface
- Calm under pressure - Stays composed, precise, and reliable when pace is high and stakes are real
- Direct, low-ego communication - Values clarity, speed, and candor over politics or optics
- Obsessive about quality - Every email, agenda, and output reflects on the founders - you hold yourself to that standard
Benefits
- Competitive total compensation aligned to experience and impact
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401(k) plan
- All working meals covered
- Relocation support for San Francisco
- Direct access to founders and leadership from day one
- High ownership, high trust, and fast career progression
- In-person culture with deep commitment to excellence
