About the role

This is not a typical EA position. We’re looking for a true "jack-of-all-trades" whom our executive team can rely on to deliver excellence across a wide range of tasks spanning the entire business.

We're looking for someone who identifies with a "no task too small" mentality, as well as a "no task too big" mentality. In other words : "Bring it on!"

What you might have in mind as "typical EA responsibilities"—managing calendars, triaging inboxes, booking travel—constitute approximately 25-50% of this job. Your other responsibilities will vary, but may include things like :

• Figuring out how to automate repetitive / inefficient processes across the business
• Managing and optimizing databases to support sales and growth
• Assisting with project management and driving execution across the organization
• Tracking and displaying useful metrics
• Technical support for our internal team and our clients
• Being the point of contact for events
• Video editing and posting
• Proofreading and editing copy
• Creating aesthetic visual materials
• Researching personal projects / products for our Founder

Growth : There is significant opportunity to grow in this role . Depending on your strengths and interests, you could take on greater responsibilities in areas like sales, social media, design, and beyond.

Schedule : This role requires both flexibility and dedication . As part of supporting a fast-paced, ambitious company, you’ll need to be available to handle some tasks during evenings or weekends. You should be comfortable keeping an eye on communications outside of standard hours and responding promptly to anything urgent.

You will report to our Chief of Staff.
