QASource is a leading provider of software QA and testing services, supporting enterprise and high-growth technology companies. We integrate directly with engineering and product teams to deliver scalable, high-quality testing solutions across automation, manual testing, performance, security, and AI-driven QA.

This is not a traditional assistant role.

You will operate as the CEO’s execution partner — increasing leverage, protecting focus, and ensuring strategic priorities move forward.

Your mandate: build and run the operating structure around the CEO so time, decisions, and follow-through align with company goals.

• Align meetings with strategic objectives.
• Decline or redirect low-leverage requests.
• Prepare briefing materials.
• Capture decisions and action items.
• Maintain accountability tracking across leadership.

Strategic Support

• Prepare customer and partner briefings.
• Track key initiatives.
• Coordinate cross-functional follow-through.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years supporting a C-level executive (CEO preferred).
• Tech, software, or professional services environment.
• Exceptional written communication and discretion.
• Strong judgment and ability to enforce priorities.
• Systems thinker who creates clarity from complexity.

What Success Looks Like

• CEO time focused on customers, strategy, and leadership.
• Clear execution rhythm across the leadership team.
• High trust and delegated authority.
• Hybrid (Pleasanton-based; regular in-person collaboration required).
• High-trust, high-accountability leadership setting.
• Direct partnership with CEO.

Salary Range

• $110,000 - $130,000 per annum (Depending on Experience).
• Health, vision, and dental benefits.
• 401(k) with company match.
