Job description

The role is the day to day operating partner for three Sales VPs at a growing AI company. That means running busy calendars, arranging travel, organizing leadership meetings and offsites, handling expenses, and drafting messages and presentations. A strong candidate has at least three years of executive support, ideally for sales leaders in tech, and brings calm judgment, discretion with sensitive information, and the habit of spotting problems before they land.

How it fits the AI era

AI tools can now take on a lot of scheduling, drafting, summarizing, and expense handling, so the routine parts of this job get faster. What stays human is deciding what deserves a VP's time, reading the room, protecting confidential matters, and smoothing over last minute changes with people. An assistant who uses AI well can cover more ground for three leaders without losing the personal touch.

How it builds AI experience

The company builds an autonomous software engineering agent, so the people around this role will likely use AI tools in daily work and sell them to customers. Sitting beside the sales leaders offers a close look at how an AI product is pitched, demoed, and bought. Building experience means trying AI assistants for calendar triage, meeting notes, and first drafts, and learning the product well enough to talk about it.

Worth showing

• Multi-executive calendar management
• Complex travel and event logistics
• Discretion with confidential information
• Proactive problem solving in startups
