ABOUT THE COMPANYOur client is one of the fastest growing and most innovative consumer products companies in the United States. Built around a mission to improve consumer well-being through science-backed products, the company has experienced remarkable growth and national recognition while remaining deeply committed to its purpose-driven culture.
Led by an entrepreneurial founder, the organization combines rapid innovation with a strong emphasis on collaboration, integrity, and long-term impact. The company has attracted world-class talent and continues to redefine its category through thoughtful product development and an unwavering focus on its customers.
This is a rare opportunity to partner directly with the Co-Founder of a category-defining brand during an exciting period of continued growth.
THE ROLEThis is not a traditional EA/PA position. This is an opportunity to become the trusted operational partner to one of the most innovative founders in consumer products. The EA/PA serves as the Co-Founder's closest day-to-day partner, building a relationship grounded in trust while creating the structure, organization, and follow-through that allows him to focus on the work only he can do.
The role blends executive partnership, project management, founder operations, and personal support into one highly trusted relationship. The Co-Founder is an entrepreneurial, highly creative, and deeply strategic thinker. He generates ideas quickly, thrives in ambiguity, and naturally gravitates toward innovation and long-term vision. The EA/PA complements that style by bringing clarity, prioritization, thoughtful execution, and exceptional judgment. Success in this role isn't measured by how well you manage a calendar.
It's measured by how effectively you help a visionary founder stay focused on the highest-impact work while ensuring everything around him continues moving forward. The right person enjoys bringing order to complexity, builds trust through authenticity and consistency, remains calm amid changing priorities, and genuinely finds fulfillment in helping others perform at their best.
