Executive Assistant – Farsight AI
Based in New York, NY (4 days a week onsite)
About Us
Farsight is the agentic AI platform for financial services, currently helping investment banks and private equity firms fully automate entire, highly nuanced workflows. Today, institutions will spend 80% of their time gathering information for and creating first drafts of materials by hand before iterating on and refining their decks, models, and pitches.
Farsight not only gives them that time back to focus on what is important, but we also bring new insights and knowledge to their materials that they wouldn’t be able to uncover without the help of our financial-focused AI.
The Role
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role supporting Farsight's CEO, CTO, and COO directly. You will be the operational backbone that keeps the founding team focused, organized, and moving fast.
This is not a passive scheduling role. The right person for this position takes ownership, anticipates needs before they arise, and takes genuine pride in making the people around them maximally effective. You will be trusted with sensitive information, high-stakes communications, and the day-to-day operational rhythm of a fast-moving Series A startup!
As Farsight grows, your scope will grow with it. In addition to core executive support, you will contribute to recruiting coordination, and office management as the team scales.
We are based in Manhattan, New York City and are in-person 4 days a week (Fridays remote).
