THE GIST:
Our client, a well-backed & fast-growing fintech company, is seeking an expert Executive Assistant to support several members of their C-suite. The ideal candidate is a strategic, operationally minded person who has experience supporting high-level leadership within a tech startup or venture capital firm.
This is a meaty role at the center of the executive team where you will serve as a force multiplier — creating clarity in complexity, protecting time, and enabling leadership to operate at their highest level!
THE NITTY GRITTY:
Executive Inbox & Communication Management
- Manage high-volume external and internal inboxes (investors, partners, vendors, internal teams)
- Triage and flag urgent matters; archive and eliminate noise
- Create clear daily priorities so executives know what requires immediate attention vs. what can wait
- Draft and refine professional communications on behalf of leadership
Strategic Calendar & Time Optimization
- Design structured, intentional calendars that minimize context switching
- Group similar meetings to reduce cognitive fatigue
- Protect time for deep work, gym, lunch, and personal priorities
- Provide daily schedule briefs so leaders walk into high-stakes conversations prepared.
Accountability & Executive Effectiveness
- Push back respectfully when schedules drift or priorities are compromised
- Ensure late-afternoon hours are protected to support work-life boundaries
- Act as a gatekeeper and strategic partner, not just a scheduler
Operational & Weekly Reporting Support
- Partner with the executives to collect weekly updates from 10+ team members
- Synthesize complex inputs into concise executive summaries for the CEO
- Follow up across teams confidently and diplomatically to ensure timely submissions
- Bring structure to recurring reporting processes.
Culture & Community Building
- Help fuel a highly social, close-knit culture by organizing team events
- Proactively learn what teammates are into and turn those interests into shared experiences (fitness classes, workshops, team outings, etc.).
- Act as a connector across teams — someone who naturally builds community and strengthens relationships
- Participate in and attend events, not just organize them — this role is for someone who truly enjoys being part of the crew
Daily Operational Support
- Own small but meaningful tasks that improve executive well-being (e.g., consistent lunch ordering, routine building)
- Build sustainable systems that reduce friction and decision fatigue
- Anticipate needs before they arise
THE ESSENTIALS:
- 10+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant
- Experience supporting leadership at a tech startup or venture capital firm highly preferred
- Ability to respond to matters outside of traditional business hours
- A track record of supporting multiple senior stakeholders simultaneously
- Experience working cross-functionally with competing priorities
- Ability to thrive in a dynamic & evolving environment
- Polished and professional communication style
- Ability to work well independently and as part of a team
- Stellar attention to detail
- Nimble and adaptable nature
- Strong writing skills and experience drafting summaries, briefings, or executive updates
- Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace and Slack
- Familiarity with task management systems and AI-powered productivity tools preferred
THE CHERRY ON TOP:
- Opportunity to become a strategic & trusted partner!
- Join a tight-knit, supportive team with amazing company culture
LOCATION: San Francisco, CA (Onsite)
COMPENSATION: Base salary: $180,000/yr - $200,000/yr + equity + benefits + great perks (exact compensation will vary based on skills, experience, and expertise)
