Executive Assistant to Founders

Location: New York, NY (in person)

Department: Administrative

Employment Type: Full-time

Salary: $70,000 - $80,000 + annual bonus eligibility based on performance

Margaux was founded on a simple idea: that the things we wear every day deserve to be made beautifully, fit perfectly, and last. What started as a made‑to‑order shoe brand has grown into a community of women who care deeply about craft, design, and the small details that make a life feel considered. We're a small team in New York at a genuinely interesting moment - our foundation is really solid, and now we're focused on building upon it.

We're hiring an Executive Assistant who'll work directly with the people driving this next chapter.

You’ll be the right hand to two of our leaders—the person who makes sure their time is spent on what matters, that nothing falls through the cracks, and that the day‑to‑day rhythm of the business runs with the same care we put into our product.

You’ll have exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to shape how a fast‑growing company actually operates. We will trust you with a lot; and in return, you’ll have visibility into every corner of a growing company.

• Own their calendars with judgment – protect deep work, prioritize what’s urgent, prepare them for every meeting
• Stay ahead of conflicts, double‑bookings, and last‑minute changes
• Build in breathing room – buffer travel time, guard focus blocks, and keep the day from getting away from them
• Coordinate domestic and international travel – flights, hotels, ground transport, and the business meals and meetings woven in between
• Put together detailed itineraries they can actually rely on: confirmation numbers, contacts, and everything in between
• Keep expenses organized and reimbursements moving

• Prep agendas, capture next steps, chase decisions
• Be the connective tissue between the founders and the rest of the leadership team

• Plan off‑sites, team dinners, and in‑office celebrations that keep Margaux close‑knit as we grow
• Handle gifting with care – employee milestones, client appreciation, holidays, and founder outreach that feels personal
• Partner with our existing People / Admin team to build community and support our employees
• Board outreach and coordination, including scheduling, venue, catering, tech, materials – everything that makes them feel effortless
• Coordinate board member travel, accommodations, and dinners, requiring professional and consistent communication

• Help the founders manage the edges of their lives so they can stay focused on the business
• Handle infrequent personal scheduling, reservations, and errands with discretion
• Take on the ad‑hoc research, purchases, and logistics that come with working closely with busy people

• You've supported a senior leader, run an office, or held a role where you were trusted with more than your title suggested
• You're discreet – the founders' calendars, finances, and conversations are yours to protect, and you treat them that way
• You communicate clearly and beautifully – in writing, in person, and in the way you read a room and respond to what's actually needed
• You're warm with people and rigorous with details
• You're fluent in the tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Shopify, Greenhouse, Justworks – or you are open to learning the ins and outs of using them well)
• You're quick on your feet, creative under pressure, and the kind of person who surfaces a problem along with a solution

This is a full‑time, in‑person role based in our New York City office.

• Compensation: $70,000–$80,000 base, plus annual bonus eligibility
• Unlimited PTO so you can rest and recharge
• Sick leave and paid parental leave
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Employee discount on all Margaux products
• A close‑knit, mission‑driven team at an exciting moment in the company's growth
