Full job description
What you'll do
- Shadow the CEO and drive follow-through. This role requires five (5) days in-office presence. Attend as many of the CEO's meetings as possible. Capture decisions and action items, especially those delegated to direct reports, and own the follow-up loop: track commitments, chase them down, and report back on status without being asked. You are the reason things don't slip.
- Defend the calendar. Ruthlessly protect the CEO's time. Triage inbound meeting requests, say no gracefully on his behalf, batch and structure the week for focus, and coordinate complex scheduling across large groups: executives, board members, investors, and external partners across time zones.
- Build presentations. Help create slide decks and other materials for board meetings, all-hands, investor updates, and external talks. You should be able to take rough notes or a verbal outline and turn it into something clear and polished.
- Handle sensitive information with discretion. You will have access to significant private information (financial, strategic, personnel, and legal) that must not be shared externally, and in many cases not internally either. Confidentiality is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have.
- Prep the CEO for meetings. Before important meetings, put together a short briefing: who he's meeting, relevant history and context, and what we want out of the conversation. The goal is that the CEO never walks into a room cold.
- General leverage. Draft communications, take on special projects, and generally remove friction from the CEO's day.
Who you are
- Type A: extremely organized and detail-oriented. You keep a system of record and nothing gets lost in it
- Comfortable following up persistently (and politely) with senior people until things are done
- A strong writer and competent with slides (Google Slides, Keynote, or PowerPoint)
- High EQ and good judgment: you can read a room, know what's confidential, and represent the CEO well
- Proactive: you anticipate needs instead of waiting for instructions
- Thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment; unflappable when priorities shift
- Available in person in San Francisco, with flexibility for occasional early mornings, evenings, or travel
Nice to have
- Prior experience supporting a founder, CEO, or senior executive
- Experience at a startup or other high-growth environment
- Experience and familiarity with AI tools such as Claude
- Familiarity with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and Linear
