We are trusted and backed by some of the largest VCs in the world, and are alumni of the prestigious YCombinator (S15). 


Mission

We're looking for an experienced executive assistant who can help our CEO accomplish more per day and be more productive.  More than that, we want a general athlete - we want to trust you to take on tasks and execute them well. This is not your typical executive assistant role, you’ll be given a wide range of tasks and responsibility. You'll be expected to learn quickly, adapt to the work style and needs of the CEO, and learn how the company works to make well-informed decisions quickly.

Outcomes

  1.  Support CEO in whatever they need
    1. Scheduling across multiple time zones with internal/external parties
    2. Dealing with travel bookings including last minute changes, issues
    3. Helping with other needs, e.g. meeting setups
    4. Always represent the CEO well internally and externally
    5. Learn the CEO’s idiosyncrasies so you can predict needs in advance
  2. Double the capacity of the CEO
    1. Learn the CEO’s voice and be able to communicate online on their behalf, e.g. to internal and external stakeholders
    2. Be able to sell as if you’re the CEO, help prospect, email, followup on behalf of CEO to manage sales pipeline
    3. May mean managing facilities, office management, dealing with internal stakeholders

Important Note: You’ll need to be willing to work whenever you’re needed.  This is not a standard 5 day a week job.  We’ll need you to be on call when the CEO needs your help, regardless of the day or time.  Many times it’s small things but they typically come in urgent, e.g. need a sudden flight change on Saturday at 9pm

You may be a good fit if:
  • Excellent command of English. You should be comfortable writing emails to CEOs at biggest companies in the world
  • Can be trusted with very confidential company and personal information which likely means you hate gossiping and avoid it at all costs
  • Like executing with incredibly high attention to detail
  • Happy to be “always on”.  Executives are working all the time and so their demands are often at weird times
  • You have supported key executives at other organisations before
  • You’re willing to work harder than most and are humble enough to learn from people much younger than you
  • You thrive on autonomy and have proven you can push towards a goal by yourself
  • Bonus points if you’ve worked in payments or banking, or as an EA in a law firm.
