  • Maintain accurate information across CRM, ATS, and internal systems
  • Assist with operational and administrative projects across the business
  • Act as a trusted gatekeeper and force multiplier for the executive team
  • Handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion

What We’re Looking For
  • 1+ years of Executive Assistant or high-level administrative support experience
  • Experience supporting senior leadership, founders, or executives in fast-moving environments
  • Strong written communication skills and ability to communicate in an executive’s voice
  • Highly organized with exceptional follow-through and attention to detail
  • Comfortable operating with urgency, ambiguity, and changing priorities
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, CRM systems, and ATS platforms
  • Ability to work onsite in San Francisco with occasional after-hours responsiveness

Preferred Backgrounds

Strong candidates may come from:
  • Venture capital, private equity, investment banking, or consulting environments
  • High-growth startups or technology companies
  • Fast-paced operational or client-facing support roles

Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary: $140,000–$180,000
  • Competitive equity package
  • Full-time onsite role
  • Opportunity to join an early-stage company tackling cutting-edge technology challenges

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys operating at a high level, solving problems proactively, and partnering closely with leadership in a fast-moving startup environment.
