  • Track and manage team budgets and financial reporting

Why Join Us

  • High Impact: Work directly with our CRO and be the first Executive Assistant based in NYC

  • Fast-Paced Environment: Thrive in a dynamic, startup setting where priorities shift quickly

You’d be a good fit if you…

  • Have 2+ years of Executive Assistant experience supporting C-level leaders or founders (ideally in a fast paced start-up environment)

  • Excel at managing complex calendars, travel, and competing priorities with precision

  • Are proactive, resourceful, and solutions-oriented, always thinking two steps ahead

  • Communicate effectively, concise when needed, detailed when necessary

  • Thrive in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where flexibility is essential

  • Handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism

  • Anticipating needs before they arise

  • Has a “no job is too small” attitude and takes on challenges with enthusiasm
