Executive Assistant to Founder

**New York City $200,000 Base + Health Benefits**

This is a rare one.

Our client is one of the youngest founders we have ever represented.

He has already built an impressive business and earned a remarkable reputation at a young age. This search isn’t about finding someone to “get there.” It’s about finding the operational partner who will help him build on what has already been achieved.

He has built and is running a private financial platform operating at the intersection of banking infrastructure, private markets and financial technology. The business spans sophisticated financial products, private company transactions and strategic relationships with founders, investors and institutions across multiple jurisdictions. This is not consumer fintech. It is complex financial infrastructure operating quietly behind the scenes - the kind most people never see, but on which sophisticated transactions depend.

Having grown up in Silicon Valley, he is now firmly based in New York, where he has deliberately chosen to build both his company and the next chapter of his career.

His achievements are impressive. His character is what convinced us to represent him. We accepted this assignment without hesitation.

He is intellectually fearless, deeply curious and unusually self-aware. He has an innate sense of justice and has already built a reputation for standing behind his convictions - even when doing so carries personal or commercial risk. He listens carefully, thinks independently and has the confidence to seek expertise he doesn’t possess, without ego. He values people who challenge his thinking and deliberately surrounds himself with experts whose knowledge exceeds his own in their respective fields. Exceptional people do not intimidate him - they are exactly who he wants beside him.

Strategic support has, until now, been handled within the family. With that person relocating abroad, the time has come to build dedicated Executive Assistant support around him for the first time.

He moves quickly, thinks strategically and is looking to build a genuine long-term partnership with the right Executive Assistant.

He does not have the time, nor should he have, to teach someone the fundamentals of exceptional Executive Assistant support. You arrive already knowing what world-class looks like.

Your greatest contribution won’t be managing his calendar. It’ll be building the operational rhythm that allows him to perform at his very best.

You bring structure he doesn’t yet know he needs.

THE RIGHT CANDIDATE

This role will suit someone at the very top of their profession - not because of a title, but because of how they think.

• You are naturally several steps ahead. You anticipate rather than react. You notice patterns. You remove friction before anyone else realises it exists.
• You combine exceptional organisational skills with sound judgement. You know when to move quickly, when to pause and when to challenge an idea because there is a better way.
• You are equally comfortable coordinating complex international travel, managing competing priorities and handling the countless moving parts that come with supporting a busy founder. At the same time, you enjoy researching a problem, presenting thoughtful options and helping someone make well-informed decisions.
• You are highly organised without being rigid. Calm without being passive. Confident without needing to be the loudest voice in the room.
• You embrace technology and are excited by the opportunities AI creates to work more intelligently. You are constantly looking for better systems, better processes and better ways of working.
• You enjoy working alongside people who think differently from you. You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room. You value curiosity over ego and collaboration over hierarchy.

Above all, you derive genuine satisfaction from making someone else’s world calmer, clearer and more effective. Not because you seek recognition, but because that’s simply how you’re wired.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

This is not a role where tasks are handed to you.

You will build, organise and quietly run the operational infrastructure around a founder whose world moves quickly and changes constantly.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Full command of an exceptionally fluid schedule - last-minute travel, same-day changes and the judgement to know what genuinely requires his attention.
• Abs…
