Job description

Our client, a well-backed & fast-growing fintech company, is seeking an expert Executive Assistant to support several members of their C-suite. The ideal candidate is a strategic, operationally minded person who has experience supporting high-level leadership within a tech startup or venture capital firm.

This is a meaty role at the center of the executive team where you will serve as a force multiplier — creating clarity in complexity, protecting time, and enabling leadership to operate at their highest level!

THE NITTY GRITTY:

Executive Inbox & Communication Management

• Manage high-volume external and internal inboxes (investors, partners, vendors, internal teams)
• Triage and flag urgent matters; archive and eliminate noise
• Create clear daily priorities so executives know what requires immediate attention vs. what can wait
• Draft and refine professional communications on behalf of leadership

Strategic Calendar & Time Optimization

• Design structured, intentional calendars that minimize context switching
• Group similar meetings to reduce cognitive fatigue
• Protect time for deep work, gym, lunch, and personal priorities
• Provide daily schedule briefs so leaders walk into high-stakes conversations prepared.

Accountability & Executive Effectiveness

• Push back respectfully when schedules drift or priorities are compromised
• Ensure late-afternoon hours are protected to support work-life boundaries
• Act as a gatekeeper and strategic partner, not just a scheduler

Operational & Weekly Reporting Support

• Partner with the executives to collect weekly updates from 10+ team members
• Synthesize complex inputs into concise executive summaries for the CEO
• Follow up across teams confidently and diplomatically to ensure timely submissions
• Bring structure to recurring reporting processes.

Culture & Community Building

• Help fuel a highly social, close-knit culture by organizing team events
• Proactively learn what teammates are into and turn those interests into shared experiences (fitness classes, workshops, team outings, etc.).
• Act as a connector across teams — someone who naturally builds community and strengthens relationships
• Participate in and attend events, not just organize them — this role is for someone who truly enjoys being part of the crew

Daily Operational Support

• Own small but meaningful tasks that improve executive well-being (e.g., consistent lunch ordering, routine building)
• Build sustainable systems that reduce friction and decision fatigue
• Anticipate needs before they arise

THE ESSENTIALS:

• 10+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant
• Experience supporting leadership at a tech startup or venture capital firm highly preferred
• Ability to respond to matters outside of traditional business hours
• A track record of supporting multiple senior stakeholders simultaneously
• Experience working cross-functionally with competing priorities
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic & evolving environment
• Polished and professional communication style
• Ability to work well independently and as part of a team
• Nimble and adaptable nature
• Strong writing skills and experience drafting summaries, briefings, or executive updates
• Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace and Slack
• Familiarity with task management systems and AI-powered productivity tools preferred

THE CHERRY ON TOP:

• Opportunity to become a strategic & trusted partner!
• Join a tight-knit, supportive team with amazing company culture

COMPENSATION:

Base salary: $180,000/yr - $200,000/yr + equity + benefits + great perks (exact compensation will vary based on skills, experience, and expertise)
