Executive Assistant

Pinnacle Private Credit is hiring. We move quickly, operate lean, and value people who are sharp, resourceful, and capable of owning outcomes. As we continue to scale, we are looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to serve as a true right hand to the CEO and play a key role in building internal operations and HR infrastructure.

About The Role

This is not a traditional administrative role. We are looking for someone who is quick, numerate, highly organized, and proactive, someone who can independently figure things out, anticipate needs, and execute without constant direction. You will support the CEO directly while also owning critical people-operations and internal process responsibilities as Pinnacle grows.
