Executive Assistant to Managing Partner

Location: Washington, DC (Hybrid flexibility)

A high-performing venture capital firm in Washington, DC is hiring an Executive Assistant to support its Managing Partner. This is a fast-paced, high-visibility role for someone who thrives under pressure, thinks three steps ahead, and brings polish to everything they do.

The right person is smart, unflappable, and proactive — someone who can keep a high-powered schedule on track across time zones, juggle international travel plans, and handle both VIPs and last-minute requests with the same level of attention.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage an extremely busy and constantly shifting calendar across global time zones
• Coordinate complex travel (domestic and international), including flights, hotels, and logistics
• Serve as gatekeeper and liaison across internal and external stakeholders
• Handle inbox management, prioritizing time-sensitive and high-impact communications
• Support personal and professional needs with a “no task too big or too small” mindset
• Maintain absolute confidentiality and professional discretion

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience supporting a senior executive, ideally in VC, finance, legal, or high-growth environments
• Experience coordinating international travel and working across multiple time zones
• Thick skin, strong judgment, and high emotional intelligence
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and able to anticipate needs before they’re voiced

This is a role for someone who’s confident in their abilities, loves being in the center of the action, and knows how to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
