This is a role for a polished professional who has extensive experience supporting C-level executives and thrives in fast-paced, high-pressure settings where discretion, intuition, and precision are paramount.

The ideal candidate is a trusted partner, not just an assistant, who anticipates needs, manages competing priorities, and ensures the CEO is focused, informed, and prepared at all times. If you have experience in the boardroom, confidence navigating complex calendars and international travel logistics, and the ability to handle sensitive, high-level communications, this is the role for you.

• Manage a complex global calendar with absolute accuracy and foresight
• Coordinate high-touch travel arrangements including commercial and private flights, accommodations, itineraries, and in-transit needs
• Prepare the CEO for internal and external meetings, including stakeholder briefings, board prep, and detailed agendas
• Attend select meetings, take polished notes, and track follow-ups and deliverables with executive-level accountability
• Act as the primary liaison between the CEO and internal teams, investors, board members, and high-profile external partners
• Handle confidential correspondence, reports, and presentations with exceptional attention to detail and discretion
• Travel domestically and internationally as needed to support the CEO on the ground
• Ensure every detail, from daily meals to investor presentations, is executed to the highest standard

What You Bring:

• 8+ years of experience supporting a CEO or senior C-suite executive
• Proven success navigating fast-paced, ever-changing environments at the executive level
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including high-level business correspondence
• Mastery of Microsoft Office (especially Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, Excel); experience with Google Workspace, Zoom, and Slack is a plus
• Experience managing sensitive information with the highest level of confidentiality
• Strong understanding of executive priorities, board-level communications, and investor dynamics
• A proactive, resourceful, and adaptable mindset with flawless organizational skills
