Executive Assistant

Role Overview

We’re looking for a highly capable, startup-experienced Executive Assistant to support our leadership team and oversee daily office operations in our Tribeca headquarters.

At its core, this role is about leverage. You will manage a complex and fast-moving schedule, understand shifting business priorities, and make thoughtful decisions about where the leadership team’s time is best spent. You won’t just schedule meetings - you’ll understand what they’re for, how they connect to company goals, and how to sequence them intelligently.

This role requires strong judgment, calm execution under pressure, and a clear understanding of how startups operate. You should be detail-oriented, discreet, and highly organized, with the ability to anticipate needs and prevent problems before they arise.

This position is fully on-site in Tribeca, NYC, five days per week.

Core Responsibilities

• Manage the complex calendars with a clear understanding of business priorities and competing demands.
• Sequence meetings strategically to optimize focus, preparation time, and energy.
• Serve as the primary gatekeeper for inbound requests, applying thoughtful judgment to scheduling decisions.
• Coordinate internal and external meetings, ensuring logistics, materials, and preparation are handled in advance.
• Manage travel arrangements, expenses, and administrative workflows with precision.
• Maintain visibility into ongoing priorities to ensure alignment between schedule and company objectives.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with board members, investors, partners, and internal stakeholders.
• Handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgment.
  
  

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting a senior executive in a fast-paced environment.
• Startup or high-growth company experience strongly preferred.
• Exceptional calendar management skills with demonstrated ability to prioritize and manage competing demands.
• Strong business judgment and ability to understand how executive time maps to company priorities.
• Highly organized with outstanding attention to detail.
• Professional, clear communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable managing office operations and vendor relationships.
• Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information.
• Calm, adaptable, and solutions-oriented under pressure.
• Ability to be fully on-site in Tribeca, NYC five days per week.
