Are you an experienced Executive Assistant with a sharp mind, strong presence, and a passion for driving meaningful work? A fast-growing organization in the sustainability and climate innovation space is seeking a top-tier Executive Assistant to support its CEO. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role working at the heart of a mission-driven company poised for significant scale.

What You’ll Do

You’ll be the CEO’s right hand—managing priorities, driving execution, and serving as a trusted partner in all facets of business operations. This is not just about managing calendars—it’s about helping a high-performing executive stay focused, organized, and ahead of the curve in a fast-paced environment.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–10+ years of experience directly supporting a CEO or founder in a corporate environment
• A bachelor’s degree from a respected institution with a strong academic track record.
• Experience in industries such as venture capital, private equity, management consulting, or technology.
• Highly polished, professional communication skills and a confident, engaging personality—you are outgoing, not behind-the-scenes.
• A true passion for sustainability, climate innovation, and mission-driven work.
• A proactive, unflappable approach to problem-solving with meticulous attention to detail.
• Willingness to relocate if necessary. While the role is based in San Francisco, we’re open to candidates from across the U.S. who are excited about making a move for the right opportunity.

Why This Role?

• Direct partnership with a mission-driven CEO who values strategic thought, loyalty, and executional excellence.
• A seat at the table in a high-growth, high-purpose organization redefining what it means to build for impact.
• An opportunity to leverage your background in fast-paced, high-stakes environments to support a leader driving global change.

If you're energized by the idea of working at the intersection of climate, innovation, and leadership, and have the experience and presence to match, we’d love to hear from you.
