What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO position at Inversion?
Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth
Who We Are
Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.
Role Overview
We are seeking a highly experienced, proactive Senior Executive Assistant to support our executive leadership team. This role goes far beyond calendar management—you will act as a strategic partner, operator, and force multiplier for leadership, helping drive efficiency, organization, and execution across the company. This role reports directly to the Inversion CEO.
You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, anticipate needs before they arise, and bring structure to chaos. You are equally comfortable coordinating board meetings, managing sensitive information, and jumping in to solve operational problems on the fly.
