In this role, you won't just manage schedules-you'll drive strategic and comprehensive support across the office of the CEO and CRO. You will handle a dynamic mix of responsibilities, ranging from core administrative operational foundation (calendaring, complex travel, expenses) to high-level strategic alignment (stakeholder management, event planning, drafting executive communications, and market research compilation). Additionally, you will assist with key personal tasks to optimize the CEO's & CRO's time and ensure leadership can focus on scaling the business. We need a fast learner who natively thinks 10 steps ahead, operates autonomously, and balances razor-sharp execution with high emotional intelligence and total discretion.

Skills You'll Bring - Technical Agility: Advanced proficiency in Google Suite and MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), with the ability to quickly master new digital productivity tools. - Autonomous Problem-Solving: Ability to manage high-volume projects independently, proactively anticipating requirements, mitigating risks, and executing with minimal oversight. - Speed & Organizational Mastery: Exceptional organizational skills paired with a strong sense of urgency to adapt swiftly and maintain follow-through in fast-paced environments. - Strategic Communication: Excellent written and verbal skills to manage key stakeholders, draft executive reports, compile rapid meeting summaries, and build cross-functional relationships. - Discretion & High EQ: Absolute integrity, sound judgment, and complete confidentiality when navigating sensitive information and engaging with executives and Board members. - Drive & Ownership Mentality: Relentless tenacity and a strong work ethic to drive initiatives forward without needing dedicated resources or hand-holding. - Strategic & Detail-Oriented Execution: Ability to balance big-picture strategic goals with precise, meticulous daily operational execution. - Adaptability & Resilience: Comfort navigating ambiguous or unstructured environments and pivoting smoothly as business priorities shift. Preferred Qualifications - Academic Background: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience; relevant professional certifications are a plus. - Executive Support Experience: 3-5+ years of high-level executive support, with proven success supporting C-suite leadership (technology industry experience strongly preferred). - Track Record of High-Volume Management: Demonstrated success managing complex projects and high task volumes independently while anticipating risks before they arise. - Priority & Time Optimization: Proven ability to make informed, high-judgment decisions regarding executive priorities, calendar trade-offs, and time management.
