Senior Executive Assistant to Co-Founder

Why This Role Exists

We don’t need a typical administrative assistant.

We need someone who ensures the Co-Founder’s day runs smoothly, operations stay on track, and nothing falls through the cracks .

This role sits at the center of leadership support, operational efficiency, and stakeholder communication —directly impacting decision-making, team alignment, and business execution.

You prepare, review, and manage critical documents → Agreements, reports, and internal communications are accurate, organized, and ready when needed

You streamline operations and research proactively → Information is gathered, organized, and presented to support decision-making

You coordinate meetings and communications → Appointments, confirmations, and updates are handled without delays
