Senior Executive Administrative Assistant

The Senior Executive Administrative Assistant serves as a highly trusted partner responsible for seamlessly integrating and supporting both the professional and personal priorities of the President & Chief Operating Officer and the Founder & CEO. This role exists to maximize the executives effectiveness, focus, and well-being by anticipating needs, protecting time and energy, and ensuring flawless execution across all aspects of their day-to-day life.

Operating with exceptional judgment, discretion, and emotional intelligence, this individual manages complexity across business, personal, family, and external commitments—often navigating sensitive, high-stakes situations with calm confidence. This is not a traditional administrative role; it is a senior, relationship-based position built on trust, foresight, and operational excellence.

The Executive Administrative Assistant will report directly to the President & COO, or the Chief of Staff, and will provide high level and detailed administrative support by assisting with efficient and effective management of a diverse range of activities. This challenging and rewarding position has a high degree of visibility and requires the ability to operate autonomously, exercise sound judgment, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced, high-expectations environment while always maintaining absolute confidentiality and professionalism.

Key Responsibilities Executive Enablement & Leverage
  • Serve as a primary thought and execution partner to the Founder & CEO and President & COO, enabling focus on the most strategic priorities
  • Anticipate needs, risks, and opportunities by understanding the Founder’s priorities, preferences, and decision patterns
  • Serve as a trusted gatekeeper to executive leadership, exercising exceptional judgment, discretion, and confidentiality while proactively identifying, assessing, and mitigating operational, reputational, and information-security risks.
Calendar, Time & Energy Management
  • Own and optimize a complex, high-stakes calendar across internal leadership, boards, external partners, and personal commitments
  • Design schedules that reflect strategic priorities—not just availability
  • Proactively resolve conflicts, manage tradeoffs, and protect white space for deep work and recovery
  • Plan personal and professional domestic and international travel, including arranging private flights, hotels, car services, dining reservations, and other special requests.
  • Build detailed itineraries with a high level of personalization and develop contingency plans to accommodate last-minute changes.
Meeting & Materials Management
  • Prepare and/or coordinate briefing materials, agendas, and background context for key meetings, boards, and external engagements
  • Capture action items and decisions, and ensure disciplined follow-up
  • Coordinate logistics for high-profile meetings, events, and travel with precision and discretion
Confidentiality, Judgment & Trust
  • Handle highly sensitive, confidential information with absolute integrity and professionalism
  • Exercise sound judgment in representing the Founder & CEO and President & COO internally and externally
  • Maintain composure and credibility under pressure, ambiguity, and time constraints
Special Projects & Executive Operations
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for a range of administrative needs, including subscriptions, vehicle maintenance, household management, community events, and personal gifts.
  • Field calls, respond to emails, and manage requests proactively while exercising discretion, confidentiality, and sound judgment.
  • Support ad hoc strategic initiatives, research, and executive projects as needed
  • Partner closely with other executive support roles (e.g., Founders Office, President/COO, CAO) to ensure seamless execution
  • Continuously refine systems, processes, and workflows to improve efficiency and effectiveness

Additional duties as assigned.

Adhere to all company policies and procedures.
