Job Title:Administrative Assistant to the CEO & VP of Strategic Growth

Location:In-Office / Redwood City HQ

About the CompanyWe’re The Slime Kitchen, revolutionizing hands-on creativity as a premier experiential retail franchise. Currently operating 20+ locations across 7 states, we are scaling rapidly to 100+ locations with explosive 30% year-over-year growth. As a pioneer in our category, we blend the agility of a startup with the scalability of an enterprise. We need a scrappy, proactive self-starter who gets it done before we finish the sentence. Dreamers go to sleep, but entrepreneurs make it happen.

Job Overview

This is not a traditional desk-only role, we are looking for someone who is built differently and energized by variety. As the Administrative Assistant to our CEO and VP of Strategic Growth, your primary mission is to ruthlessly prioritize our schedules and inboxes so we can focus on scaling the business. However, because our executive team is incredibly lean, you will be a key partner in keeping our day-to-day operations running smoothly. One moment you may be building a clean, polished deck or managing calendars, and the next you may be organizing inventory, cleaning and resetting a space, or running a last-minute errand to support the team. We need an ego-free, scrappy unblocker who requires zero hand-holding.

What You’ll Do

Inbox, Schedule & Executive Support

• Gatekeeper & Prioritizer: Manage complex calendars, scheduling, and meeting coordination across a lean, fast-moving executive team.
• Document & System Management: Prepare presentations, decks, and documents with a high level of accuracy and organize digital files and shared drives.
• Executive Comms: Support internal communications, note-taking, and follow-ups to keep leadership projects on track.

Office Management & All-Hands Execution

• Keep the HQ Running: Assist with operational tasks including inventory organization, supply management, and workspace upkeep (cleaning, organizing, and resetting spaces).
• On-the-Ground Support: Run errands and provide physical, on-the-ground support for store, events, and more.
• Lean In on Anything: Jump into ad hoc operational projects as needed across the company, no task is too big or too small.

Who You Are

• Capital-H Hustler & Self-Starter: You anticipate needs, solve problems independently, and possess a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Ego-Free & Adaptable: You are willing to roll up your sleeves and are equally comfortable behind a computer or on your feet supporting physical operations. You juggle multiple priorities in a dynamic, ambiguous environment seamlessly.
• Unfazed Organizer: You are exceptionally organized with strong attention to detail while navigating chaotic, fast-paced schedules.
• Tech Savvy: Highly proficient in Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Calendar).

What You’ll Gain

While this role may not offer a traditional high-tier startup salary, it provides a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a massive, scaling business. You will work closely with leadership, gain exposure across operations, marketing, and retail strategy, and have a clear path for growth into more specialized roles as the company expands.

This is an ideal role for someone early in their career who is looking to learn quickly, contribute meaningfully, and be a part of building something from the ground up.
