Job description

About Verifi

Verifi is a global ClimateTech and ConstructionTech venture backed by Saint‑Gobain, transforming the ready‑mix concrete industry through real‑time sensing, AI‑driven software, and data‑powered decarbonization. Operating across North America, UK, EMEA, and APAC, we are scaling rapidly and building the digital backbone of the global concrete value chain.

We move fast, operate with high standards, and execute with precision. The CEO’s office is the engine of this velocity.

The Role

We’re looking for a world‑class Executive Assistant who can operate as a strategic force multiplier for the CEO. This is not a traditional admin role. You will be deeply embedded into the CEO’s workflow, helping drive execution across Verifi’s global priorities, managing communication flows, and acting as an extension of the CEO’s judgment, prioritization, and operating rhythm.

This role is for someone who thrives in high‑velocity environments, loves bringing order to complexity, and has the executive polish to work with senior leaders across Saint‑Gobain, global customers, and internal teams.

What You’ll Own

Executive Operations & Prioritization

• Manage and continuously optimize the CEO’s calendar, ensuring priorities, energy management, and business impact are front‑loaded.


• Ensure the CEO is always prepared — the right context, documents, and decision inputs at the right time.


• Proactively shield the CEO’s time by filtering requests, triaging inbound communication, and eliminating noise.

Communication & Coordination

• Draft high‑quality emails, memos, internal communications, and follow‑ups on behalf of the CEO.


• Serve as the point of coordination between the CEO’s office and leaders across Verifi, Saint‑Gobain, and partners.


• Track commitments, deadlines, and decisions from CEO‑level meetings and ensure flawless follow‑through.

Program Management & Execution Support

• Assist in driving key cross‑functional initiatives (Board prep, leadership meetings, strategic planning cycles, customer visits, etc.).


• Support coordination of travel, logistics, and major events (industry conferences, Climate Week, ExCo meetings, investor sessions).

Confidentiality & Judgment

• Handle highly sensitive information with absolute discretion.


• Exhibit sound judgment in ambiguous situations; able to escalation appropriately and make decisions independently when required.


• Build trusted relationships across global teams, partners, and executives.


• Represent the CEO with professionalism, discretion, and clarity.


• Relationship Navigator

Who You Are

Strategic Partner

You’re proactive—always thinking ahead, clearing roadblocks, and anticipating what’s needed before anyone asks.

Process‑Oriented Problem Solver

You thrive on bringing order to complexity and know how to turn chaos into repeatable, efficient systems.

Clear and Impactful Communicator

Your written and verbal communication is sharp, precise, and easy to understand—no fluff, just clarity.

Organizational Powerhouse

Managing multiple priorities is your superpower. You keep countless threads moving without letting a single one drop.

Steady Under Pressure

You stay calm, focused, and adaptable—even when things get intense or uncertain.

Tech‑Confident

You’re comfortable with modern productivity tools like Notion, Slack, G‑Suite, and AI platforms. Bonus points if you know project management tools, light design, or data analysis.

Qualifications

• 4–7+ years of EA, project management, or operations experience supporting a senior executive in a high‑growth, high‑stakes business.


• Experience in tech, B2B SaaS, venture‑backed or fast‑paced environments preferred.


• Demonstrated ability to manage complex international schedules and stakeholders.


• Proven track record of discretion, reliability, and executional excellence.


• Bachelor’s degree preferred but not mandatory if experience is exceptional.

Why This Role Matters

You will directly influence the velocity and effectiveness of Verifi’s leadership.

Verifi is scaling globally, building new hardware platforms, expanding into new markets, and preparing for the next phase of growth.

This role ensures the CEO’s office runs with maximum leverage — enabling faster decision‑making, tighter alignment, and cleaner execution across the entire business.
