Meet Your Future Neighbors

As an Executive Business Partner supporting the G&A organization, you will play a crucial role in keeping these teams running smoothly and operating at their best. This is a highly operational role embedded within fast-moving functions — you will manage team coordination, drive operational workflows, support cross-functional programs, and help the teams leverage AI and automation to work more efficiently. You must be organized, proactive, and comfortable handling a wide range of priorities with discretion and follow-through.

At Nextdoor, we operate in an AI-first environment and expect every team member to actively use AI tools as part of their workflow. We aren't looking for prompt engineers; we’re looking for people who use tools like Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Glean to challenge their own thinking and take full ownership of AI-assisted outputs.

We also offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment model, blending an in office presence and work from home experience for our valued employees. The hiring team will go over these expectations with you if you are being considered for a role near one of our offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, New York, and London.

The Impact You’ll Make

The ideal candidate for this role is a highly organized self-starter with an optimistic can-do attitude, excellent communication skills, and a genuine passion for Nextdoor’s mission. You are energized by operational complexity, curious about how AI can make teams more effective, and motivated to remove friction so others can do their best work. The environment is dynamic, energetic, and customer-focused!

Your responsibilities will include:

Administrative oversight including:

• Calendar Management: Schedule and manage demanding calendars, including internal and external meetings with employees, vendors, and clients. Proactively anticipate scheduling conflicts and ensure that time is optimized.
• Meeting Participation: Act as a collaborator in key meetings, contributing to discussions and follow-up actions, with the support and guidance of the executive.
• Confidential Information Handling: Manage sensitive information with a high degree of confidentiality and discretion.

Program and project support including:

• Event Planning and Coordination: Assist in planning and overseeing critical events including Investor Relations external and internal coordination, Team and Leadership offsites.
• Cultural Programs: Support and help coordinate in-person cultural programming and connection moments for the G&A team and broader employee base in San Francisco, helping foster community and belonging at the hub level.
• Executive Onboarding: Coordinate logistics and support for new G&A leadership team members, ensuring a smooth and well-organized start.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Interact with senior leadership and external partners, fostering strong relationships and facilitating effective communication.
• Ad-hoc Projects: Undertake tasks and projects as assigned by the executive and/or your manager.
• Participate in in-person Nextdoor events such as trainings, off-sites, volunteer days, and team building exercises.
• Build in-person relationships with team members and contribute to Nextdoor’s company culture.

Building toward the future:

• Workflow Automation: Identify manual or repetitive processes across G&A operations and work to streamline them using available tools and technology - from scheduling and intake routing to document workflows and team coordination.
• AI Tool Adoption: Proactively explore and apply AI and emerging technologies to reimagine how administrative and operational work gets done, and help the team build toward a smarter, more scalable way of working.

What You’ll Bring To The Team

• 3+ years of experience in a scheduling, coordination, or administrative support role, preferably in a fast-paced tech environment and/or the ability to perform at an advanced level in the domain.
• Proven ability to manage complex calendars and competing priorities across multiple demanding stakeholders.
• Experience supporting senior or executive-level leaders with a high degree of discretion and professionalism.
• Hands-on experience planning and executing events - from team offsites to large-scale coordinated programs.
• Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail, with a track record of follow-through.
• Proficiency in Google Productivity Suite (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Slides, Sheets); experience with Coda and Workday is a plus.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort interacting across all levels of the organization.
• Proactive and solutions-oriented - you anticipate needs, close gaps, and don’t wait to be asked twice.
• Curiosity about AI and automation - you’re already using these tools or actively looking for ways to work smarter, and you want to help your team do the same.
