Responsibilities

This hybrid role is built for someone who thrives on variety: the majority of your time will be spent as a true thought partner and force multiplier for the CEO, managing day-to-day needs so they can focus on leading the company. You'll also provide calendar and administrative support to our VP, People; assist with select personal tasks so the CEO's time is spent where it matters most; and, in the short term, help run our New York City office. This role suits someone equally comfortable driving executive priorities, managing complex logistics, and supporting day-to-day office operations. You'll report to the Chief of Staff to the CEO, rounding out the support functions for the CEO's office.

Our CEO needs a partner who can be fully relied on — someone who keeps professional and personal priorities running smoothly and creates the space needed to lead the company effectively. At the same time, our VP of People requires dedicated calendar and administrative support as the team scales, and our growing New York City office needs steady, consistent support during this period of growth. This role sits at the center of all three, offering a high-trust vantage point across executive leadership, People Operations, and office operations, with meaningful variety in scope from week to week.
