Job Description

Executive Assistant – High-Growth Tech Environment

This role provides direct support to the CEO of a fast-paced technology company.

We are seeking someone who thrives in a demanding, high-intensity environment with minimal work-life balance. The Executive Assistant must be highly responsive and available around the clock—including nights and weekends—for last-minute investor calls, travel bookings, and urgent requests.

The ideal candidate is an experienced Executive Assistant or Project Manager with a background in tech startups or product-driven technology companies.

While the role is structured around a traditional 5-day workweek, availability on weekends may occasionally be required.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Approximately 90% executive support, with up to 10% personal assistant tasks as needed.
  • Attend C-suite meetings, take comprehensive notes, and immediately translate them into clear, actionable items for the CEO and broader team. Real-time follow-through is critical.
  • Anticipate needs and demonstrate a strong understanding of the tech landscape to effectively support executive-level discussions and decisions.
  • Arrive before the CEO each day (typically by 8:00 AM) and stay until 6:00–7:00 PM or later, depending on the CEO’s schedule.
  • Be open to urgent travel requests once rapport and trust are established.
  • Own a car for commuting and handling ad-hoc errands.

Qualifications:

  • Prior experience supporting a single high-level executive (not multiple executives simultaneously).
  • Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
  • High level of discretion and professionalism.
  • Proven ability to perform under pressure in a dynamic, ever-changing environment.
  • If you're looking for a role where you can make a significant impact supporting a visionary leader in tech, and you're willing to go above and beyond, this could be the right fit.
