Executive Assistant (Office Operations Manager)

• We’re hiring an Executive Assistant & Office Manager to support our CEO and CBO directly, run our San Francisco office, own recruiting coordination end-to-end, and take on ad hoc business operations work across the company
• Most companies split this work across three or four people
• Here, it’s one seat — which means broad scope, real ownership, and a close-up view of how an early-stage company actually runs
• You’ll be the connective tissue between the founders and everyone else: the person who knows what’s happening this week, who needs what from whom, and what’s going to fall through the cracks unless someone catches it
• You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy and handle confidential information across compensation, personnel, and business development
• This role is based in San Francisco with regular in-office presence
• You’ll report to the CEO and work day-to-day with both co-founders
• Executive support for the CEO and CBO — Own both calendars, including competing priorities across recurring internal meetings and all external scheduling with investors, partners, advisors, and candidates
• Serve as the scheduling and communications point of contact for external stakeholders
• Coordinate domestic and international travel end-to-end
• Prepare agendas, pre-reads, and meeting materials; track action items afterward and make sure they close
• Manage expense reporting for both executives
• Triage inbound requests and protect founder time — deciding what needs their attention and what you can resolve yourself
• Board, investor, and leadership logistics — Coordinate board meetings, investor updates, and leadership offsites: scheduling, materials assembly, logistics, and follow-through
• Office and operations management — Run the day-to-day operations of the office
• Own vendor relationships and contracts (building management, cleaning, catering, IT, supplies)
• Manage office supply, equipment, and kitchen inventory within budget
• Coordinate IT and workstation setup for new hires and equipment needs for the existing team
• Serve as the first point of contact for facilities issues and building management, including mail and shipping, access, seating, and safety
• Recruiting coordination — Schedule and coordinate all candidate interviews and full-day onsites across open roles
• Manage interviewer panels and reschedules across multiple calendars, including executive interviews
• Own candidate communication and experience from first scheduling contact through onsite — every candidate should leave thinking Citizen is the most organized company they’ve talked to
• Maintain candidate records and keep the pipeline clean in our ATS
• People operations and HR administration — Own and maintain the company-wide onboarding playbook used for every new hire across departments
• Own the monthly headcount report covering full-time employees, contractors, and interns
• Support onboarding documentation and other HR administration as needed
• Team events and culture — Plan and execute team events, all-hands logistics, offsites, and celebrations
• Help make a distributed, fast-moving team feel like one team
• Ad hoc business operations — Take on the projects that don’t have an owner yet: vendor and tool procurement, contract tracking, process documentation, internal tooling setup, one-off research and analysis for the founders, and whatever else comes up
• You’ll see problems before we do and fix them before we ask
