Executive Coordinator to CIO

About Your Role

This is a high-stakes Executive support role at the epicenter of the firm. You will serve as the physical and operational extension of the CIO. This position is focused on high‑fidelity execution, extreme reliability, and the grit to handle the tactical details that keep a C‑Suite Executive moving.

You are the shadow that ensures the CIO’s day‑to‑day life is frictionless. This role offers a direct window into the operational rhythm of the Alpha Engine and broader company.

• Operational Readiness: Own the physical environment. This includes conference room setup, cleaning up post‑meeting, and ensuring the CIO is physically where he needs to be for his next engagement.
• Run Daily Scheduling Machines: Manage the run‑of‑show, ensuring the CIO is set up well for the day — coordinate with drivers, handle badge access, and other daily operations upon arrival to facilitate a seamless transition into the workday.
• Logistical Command: Execute high‑frequency tactical needs: managing food lunch deliveries, booking conference rooms, creating Zoom links, and coordinating wardrobe requirements for specific events.
• Meticulous Document Control: Manage a high volume of printing and document prep with responsiveness, including evenings and weekends sometimes.
• Home Team Liaison: Serve as the primary bridge between the CIO’s professional office and his home team. You will orchestrate drivers, return printed materials, and sync personal plans with work needs.
• Administration & Events: Handle expense reporting, manage travel and visas, and assist in the planning and execution of community events such as book clubs and speaker series.
• Chief of Staff Partnership: You will partner closely with the Chief of Staff, providing coverage when they are out‑of‑office and learning to navigate tradeoffs and escalations under their guidance.

• Extreme Reliability: You derive satisfaction from a perfectly executed day and a flawless schedule. You are willing to roll up your sleeves for any task, no matter how small, to benefit the team.
• High Professionalism & Discretion: You possess the emotional intelligence to handle highly sensitive information and the instinct to remain calm in a high‑pressure, fast‑paced environment.
• Unshakeable Grit: You are a fixer. You remain level‑headed when faced with rapidly evolving situations and persistent ambiguity.

• 1+ years of relevant experience
