About Everest

Everest is redefining executive support by striking the perfect balance between cutting-edge technology and the human touch. At Everest, we believe being an executive assistant is meaningful, impactful work—and it's not going anywhere. Technology can help with the busywork, but real support needs a human touch. Great executive assistants bring sound judgment, empathy, and partnership—things no tool can replace. As a fast-growing startup serving a diverse client base, our goal is to simplify the everyday so our clients can focus on the big picture. Ready to see what's possible when tech and humanity work hand in hand?

About the Role

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Executive Assistant to support a visionary founder-CEO at a fast-growing, mission-driven technology company headquartered in San Francisco. You'll operate at the center of the organization — present for key decisions, managing the full scope of the CEO's professional and personal life, and serving as a trusted operational partner as the company scales. This is not a traditional EA role; it is an operational partnership that sits at the heart of a company moving fast and building something meaningful.

You are employed by Everest and embedded with our client on a dedicated, full-time basis — you are part of our team, representing our standard of excellence in a client environment.

Core Responsibilities

• Calendar Strategist: Own the CEO's calendar across professional and personal domains — optimize, protect, and ensure time reflects highest priorities (approx. 70% EA / 30% PA).
• Clear Communicator: Manage inbox triage, draft routine responses, surface what needs attention, and handle what doesn't.
• Operations Partner: Prepare briefing materials before key meetings, own action item capture and follow-through, and coordinate across the leadership team on the CEO's behalf to ensure alignment and prevent scheduling conflicts.
• Relationship Builder: Maintain a relationship tracker for key stakeholders — investors, board members, and institutional partners — and serve as the primary coordination point for speaking engagements, conference appearances, and media commitments.
• Project Supporter: Support board meeting preparation including materials, logistics, and follow-up tracking; coordinate with PR and communications teams on the CEO's public-facing schedule.
• Travel & Logistics Lead: Manage all travel logistics end-to-end: flights, accommodations, ground transportation, and itineraries.
• Household & Personal Concierge: Handle personal appointments, family logistics, household needs, gift coordination, and life logistics with full discretion.

Skills and Qualifications

• Experience: 5 years supporting a founder, CEO, or similarly high-demand executive.
• Emotional Intelligence: You read between the lines, iterate quickly, and receive redirecting feedback without taking it personally.
• Multi-Domain Strength: Equally capable in strategic operations and personal support.
• Core Strengths: Proactive, highly organized, and energized by complexity — you take pride in making high-performing leaders more effective.
• Tech-Savvy: Comfortable with project management tools, CRM platforms, calendar systems, and communication tools for distributed teams.

Work Environment

• Location: Hybrid — San Francisco Bay Area
• Availability: Must be able to attend events, off-sites, and travel with the CEO as needed.
• Hours: Full-time
