BURKE+CO.

www.burketalent.com

THE GIST:

Our client is a unique, founder-focused venture capital firm creating an exceptional residential experience for entrepreneurs in San Francisco. They are looking for a proactive, high-judgment Executive Assistant to support their leadership team. This role oversees scheduling, travel, logistics, events, and day-to-day coordination. This is a role for someone who genuinely loves being an EA, expertly anticipates needs, manages up, follows through relentlessly, and takes ownership rather than waiting to be asked.

This is an awesome opportunity to work alongside a fast-moving team and be closely connected to the founders and entrepreneurs they support!

THE NITTY GRITTY:

• Support a group of General Partners and leadership team members across complex calendars, travel, scheduling, logistics, and special projects.
• Act as a true right hand to the leadership team—anticipating needs, solving problems, and taking work off their plates
• Own scheduling and coordination across multiple executives, priorities, time zones, and stakeholders.
• Manage travel logistics, retreats, meetings, events, and other high-touch experiences.
• Coordinate the flow of information and follow up with internal and external stakeholders
• Manage and delegate personal assistant-related tasks for one of the Partners, working closely with their dedicated PA.
• Be comfortable operating in a highly dynamic environment where priorities can shift quickly and the path forward isn’t always defined.
• Operate at a high level of pace and availability during certain times of the year; between programs, the workload becomes significantly lighter, offering more flexibility to work remotely and/or take time off

THE ESSENTIALS:

• 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant
• Experience supporting founders, investors, executives, or leadership teams in a startup, venture capital, or similarly fast-paced environment is highly preferred.
• Willing to attend Friday evening events during program periods and flexible to work outside traditional business hours when needed.
• Highly proactive and naturally anticipatory.
• Excellent communicator with strong judgment and discretion.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, changing priorities, and a startup-style environment.
• Warm, polished, resourceful, and comfortable interacting with founders, investors, and a wide range of personalities.
• You thrive in environments that are fast-moving and entrepreneurial rather than highly corporate.

THE CHERRY ON TOP:

• Be part of the startup ecosystem! Work directly from a founder-focused environment surrounded by ambitious entrepreneurs, investors, and innovative companies.
• Experience unique, high-energy 12-week programs balanced by significantly lighter periods, remote flexibility, and substantial time off between these periods

LOCATION: San Francisco, CA (Mainly onsite - with flexibility to WFH depending on executive needs)

COMPENSATION: $130k - 140k base salary + housing stipend + benefits + perks (exact compensation will vary based on skills, experience, and expertise)
