• This means: serving as a gatekeeper and point of contact for a wide range of people - from cross-functional teams to outside vendors; handling logistics, owning the CTO's schedule, managing the CTO's inbox, prepping the CTO for upcoming meetings, understanding how to lean in as a true partner, etc.

• Meeting Management: Organize and facilitate meetings, including preparing agendas, recording minutes, and following up on action items.
• Project Coordination: Assist with various projects and initiatives, coordinating cross-functional teams and ensuring timely completion of deliverables.
• Confidentiality: Handle sensitive information with discretion and maintain strict confidentiality at all times.
• Executive Liaison: Act as a liaison between the CTO and other members of the leadership team, ensuring alignment and effective communication.
• Prioritization: Manage competing priorities effectively, proactively identifying and addressing potential conflicts or obstacles.
• Remote Operations: Embrace and utilize remote work tools and technologies to optimize productivity and collaboration within a fully remote work environment.
• Ad Hoc Support: Provide additional administrative support and perform other duties as assigned by the CTO.

• A bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience is preferred.
• Demonstrated experience supporting C-level executives in a fast-paced environment is required.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality workwith minimal errors.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact professionally with individuals at all levels of the organization.
• Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively and meet deadlines.
• Proven ability to handle confidential information with tact, integrity, and discretion.
• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and work effectively in a remote work environment.
• A team player with a positive attitude and a willingness to pitch in and support colleagues as needed.
