We are seeking a reliable, adaptable, and professional Temporary In-Person Event Executive Assistant to the CEO to assist our CEO, Diego Mariscal, during conferences, events, and work-related travel.

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity to support a globally recognized disability entrepreneur and nonprofit leader while gaining access to high-level conference, networking opportunities, and professional events that many people would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend.

As an In-Person Event Executive Assistant to the CEO, you will support Diego Mariscal from September 18–21, 2026, during the 7th Annual Stanford Neurodiversity Summit. Throughout the summit, you will assist Diego with travel logistics, meetings, networking events, speaking engagements, and other event-related activities. Diego uses an electronic wheelchair, so this role requires someone who is comfortable assisting with accessibility logistics, coordinating transportation, navigating conference venues, and adapting quickly as schedules and priorities change throughout the day.

You will meet Diego at the airport upon his arrival and provide support throughout the duration of the summit and travel schedule, including accompanying him back to the airport upon his departure.

This role requires someone who is dependable, flexible, professional, calm under pressure, and comfortable making last-minute adjustments. It is not a traditional caregiving role. Instead, it is best suited for someone who is proactive, highly organized, resourceful, and excited to be part of a fast-paced, mission-driven environment while supporting a globally recognized disability entrepreneur and nonprofit leader.
