Executive Assistant to Chief Executive Officer

Admin: Executive + Personal Assistant to the CEO

Opal

· [Los Angeles / Orange County] · In person · $75–90K + benefits

Opal issues credit cards for ad spend. Agencies and brands run millions in Meta and Google budgets through us. We’re seed stage, growing fast, and I’m drowning in admin.

I need one person who makes the company and my life run smoothly, so I can spend my time selling, raising, and building.

This is not a “manage the calendar and answer the phone” job. You’ll own real things: payroll, HR paperwork, vendors, software, investor reporting, and my personal logistics. If something small needs to happen and nobody owns it, it’s yours.

What you’ll own

People + HR

• Run payroll, benefits, and severance
• Handle hiring and offboarding paperwork: offer letters, NDAs, confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements
• Track referral payouts, both employee and partner, and make sure people get paid on time

Money

• Collect receipts. Every one, every month.
• Send invoices when we owe someone one, and forward bills to bill-pay
• Work with Pav to track every tool we pay for and how many seats we’re using. Cut what we don’t need.
• Prepare investor reports

Company ops

• Manage software access and permissions: onboarding, offboarding, who has what
• Keep Google Drive clean. If I can’t find something in 10 seconds, it’s in the wrong place.
• Write and maintain our SOPs and documentation, and make sure people actually follow them
• Run the office: snacks, internet, supplies, whatever’s broken

Me

• Manage my calendar and email
• Book travel, hotels, and dinners
• Handle personal appointments, prescriptions, and refills
• Manage the cleaners for the office and my home

Everything else

• The small, one-off tasks that don’t fit anywhere. Figure them out and close them without me having to follow up.

You’re a fit if

• You’ve been an EA, PA, or office manager at a startup or for a founder, and you liked the chaos
• You’re the most organized person you know, and your friends make fun of you for it
• You’re discreet. You’ll see salaries, contracts, and my personal life.
• You close loops. When you say it’s done, it’s done.
• You figure things out. “I didn’t know how” isn’t an answer; “I figured it out, here’s what I did” is.

• You’re nice.

  Genuinely. You’ll be the first person candidates, vendors, and investors deal with. Warmth matters here.

You’re not a fit if

• You need a detailed playbook for everything
• You want a remote or hybrid role. We’re in person, and we work hard.
• Personal assistant work feels beneath you. It’s a real part of this job.

Why this role

• You’ll work directly with the CEO and see how a fintech gets built from the inside
• Your job grows as the company does. Great admins here become ops leads.
• You’ll have real ownership from week one
