Executive Assistant to Founders

About the Role


We are seeking a sharp, highly capable Executive Assistant to support two founders across multiple businesses. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, operates with urgency, and enjoys being at the center of a dynamic, entrepreneurial office.

This is not a traditional administrative role. You will act as a true extension of the founders managing competing priorities, anticipating needs, and ensuring day-to-day operations run seamlessly.

The ideal candidate has experience supporting senior leadership within a private equity, investment, or similarly high-performance environment and is comfortable operating with speed, discretion, and minimal direction.

What Youll Do

• Manage complex, ever-changing calendars across multiple businesses and priorities
• Anticipate conflicts, shifting priorities, and last-minute changes, proactively solving before issues arise
• Oversee email and communications flow, ensuring timely responses and prioritization
• Coordinate domestic travel and build highly detailed, efficient itineraries
• Serve as a central point of coordination across internal teams, external stakeholders, and vendors
• Manage day-to-day operations of a small, high-energy office
• Support both business and occasional personal priorities for the founders
• Act as the in-office point of contact when founders are traveling
• Maintain strict confidentiality across all communications and materials
• Continuously identify ways to improve workflows, organization, and efficiency using modern tools and technology

Who You Are

• 5 years of experience supporting senior executives, ideally within private equity, venture capital, investment firms, or other high-performance environments
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities without losing track of execution
• Tech-savvy and comfortable leveraging tools and automation to work efficiently
• Proactive and anticipatory you dont wait for direction, you stay ahead
• Strong communicator with a natural ability to build relationships and operate effectively in a small team
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment where priorities shift frequently
• Professional, but not rigid you bring energy, adaptability, and a team-first mindset
• Able to balance autonomy with alignment, knowing when to act independently and when to escalate

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

• Operates with urgency and strong judgment
• Anticipates needs and removes friction before it surfaces
• Is highly dependable and consistent under pressure
• Builds trust quickly with founders and team members
• Brings a positive, engaged presence to a small, collaborative office

Why This Role

• Direct exposure to founders across multiple businesses
• High visibility and impact in a small, fast-moving environment
• Opportunity to grow alongside the business and take on increasing responsibility
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture with strong leadership access

Benefits & Perks

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Competitive PTO paid holidays
• Dynamic, in-office team environment
