Executive Assistant to Founder & CEO at Fast-Growing DTC Fashion Brand

Fast-growing, founder-led DTC fashion brand is looking for an Executive Assistant to support their Founder & CEO. In this high-touch role, you’ll own and run the CEO’s calendar day to day, acting as the key point of contact for scheduling and protecting her time, while also managing her cross-functional to-do list and tracking action items across meetings and projects so nothing falls through the cracks. You’ll also take on light personal support, handling personal appointments, some personal travel, and family-related admin with discretion. Someone who is anticipatory, proactive, and comfortable taking real ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do. This is a primarily in-office role based in New York City, with occasional flexibility to work from home. 120-140K DOE + full benefits, clothing allowance, and potential bonus.

Responsibilities:

• Own and manage the CEO’s complex, shifting calendar across business and personal commitments, proactively resolving conflicts before they arise.
• Act as the key point of contact for scheduling high-priority meetings across the organization.
• Track and manage the CEO’s cross-functional to-do list, following up on action items across meetings and projects to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Coordinate travel logistics, including detailed itineraries and contingency planning.
• Provide light personal support, including scheduling personal appointments and reservations, coordinating personal travel, and managing family-related admin (school and camp dates, class sign-ups) with complete discretion.
• Serve as a trusted extension of the CEO with internal team members and external partners.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience supporting an executive or founder at the EA/PA level, ideally within a founder-led company.
• Anticipatory and proactive, with the instinct to volunteer status updates and stay ahead of what’s needed rather than wait to be asked.
• Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to hold many priorities at once without losing the thread on any of them.
• Impeccable discretion and judgment, including with sensitive family and personal scheduling that must remain entirely private.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, comfortable communicating frequently by phone and text.
• Comfortable with occasional evening or weekend availability as the business requires.
