Senior Executive Assistant
Full Job Posting
What You Will Own
Triage communications across email and other communication channels. Identify what needs the CEO’s attention, draft responses when appropriate, and keep consequential matters from falling through the cracks.
Own a complex, constantly changing calendar and international travel schedule. Allocate time to the highest-priority business matters, resolve conflicts quickly and coordinate seamlessly with the personal team and external partners.
Prepare concise meeting briefs, relevant materials and clear next steps. Track decisions, commitments and action items through completion; handle expenses and required documentation accurately and in line with company policy.
Operate ahead of the CEO by anticipating information needs, scheduling conflicts, travel requirements and stakeholder follow-ups before they become urgent.
Exercise discretion and independent judgment about what to resolve, delegate or escalate. Maintain practical responsiveness across time zones, including for urgent matters outside normal working hours.
Partner with the Chief of Staff and VP of Corporate Affairs on board, investor, leadership and other stakeholder engagements, coordinating materials, logistics and timely follow-through.
Coordinate select global events and hospitality with the relevant internal teams, ensuring that the CEO’s commitments and guests are handled with care and precision.
Support visits to global offices and liaise with office teams and vendors as needed, while keeping the focus on the CEO’s highest-value priorities.
Who You Are
7+ years of experience supporting a CEO, founder, senior investment professional or similarly demanding principal in a fast-paced, global environment.
Exceptional judgment, discretion and trustworthiness. You can protect the CEO’s time, handle sensitive information and determine what warrants escalation without waiting for detailed instructions.
Highly organized and composed under pressure, with a demonstrated ability to manage complex calendars, global time zones, multiple communication channels and competing priorities.
You take ownership from request to resolution: you anticipate what is needed, follow up persistently and close loops with internal and external stakeholders.
Technology-literate and enthusiastic about AI and automation. You use practical tools to improve scheduling, information management, meeting preparation and follow-through while checking outputs and protecting confidential information.
A concise, polished communicator who can write on the CEO’s behalf, represent the office professionally and adapt to senior executives, board members, investors and external partners.
An effective collaborator with the Chief of Staff, Corporate Affairs and personal team who shares information promptly and works across functions to keep work moving.
Flexible and resilient in a high-intensity global role, with the ability to respond to urgent changes calmly and exercise good judgment about availability across time zones.
You bring a service mindset, close attention to detail and the confidence to improve processes without losing sight of the work that must get done today.
