Executive Assistant to the Founders

Location: New York, NY (in person)

Department: Administrative

Employment Type: Full-time

Salary: $70,000 - $80,000 + annual bonus eligibility based on performance

About Margaux Margaux was founded on a simple idea: that the things we wear every day deserve to be made beautifully, fit perfectly, and last. What started as a made-to-order shoe brand has grown into a community of women who care deeply about craft, design, and the small details that make a life feel considered. We’re a small team in New York at a genuinely interesting moment - our foundation is really solid, and now we’re focused on building upon it. We’re hiring an Executive Assistant who’ll work directly with the people driving this next chapter.

The Role: You’ll be the right hand to two of our leaders - the person who makes sure their time is spent on what matters, that nothing falls through the cracks, and that the day-to-day rhythm of the business runs with the same care we put into our product.

You’ll have exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to shape how a fast-growing company actually operates. We will trust you with a lot; and in return, you’ll have visibility into every corner of a growing company.

What you’ll do: Founder support

• Own their calendars with judgment - protect deep work, prioritize what’s urgent, prepare them for every meeting
• Stay ahead of conflicts, double-bookings, and last-minute changes
• Build in breathing room - buffer travel time, guard focus blocks, and keep the day from getting away from them
• Coordinate domestic and international travel - flights, hotels, ground transport, and the business meals and meetings woven in between
• Put together detailed itineraries they can actually rely on: confirmation numbers, contacts, and everything in between
• Keep expenses organized and reimbursements moving

Meetings and follow-through

• Prep agendas, capture next steps, chase decisions
• Be the connective tissue between the founders and the rest of the leadership team

Culture and team moments

• Plan the offsites, team dinners, and in-office celebrations that keep Margaux close-knit as we grow
• Handle gifting with care - employee milestones, client appreciation, holidays, and founder outreach that feels personal
• Partner with our existing People / Admin team to build community and support our employees
• Board outreach and coordination, including scheduling, venue, catering, tech, materials - everything that makes them feel effortless
• Coordinate board member travel, accommodations, and dinners, requiring professional and consistent communication

Personal support

• Help the founders manage the edges of their lives so they can stay focused on the business
• Handle infrequent personal scheduling, reservations, and errands with discretion
• Take on the ad hoc research, purchases, and logistics that come with working closely with busy people

Who you are:

• You’ve supported a senior leader, run an office, or held a role where you were trusted with more than your title suggested
• You’re discreet - the founders’ calendars, finances, and conversations are yours to protect, and you treat them that way
• You communicate clearly and beautifully - in writing, in person, and in the way you read a room and respond to what’s actually needed
• You’re warm with people and rigorous with details
• You’re fluent in the tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Shopify, Greenhouse, Justworks - or you are open to learning the ins and outs of using them well)
• You’re quick on your feet, creative under pressure, and the kind of person who surfaces a problem along with a solution

Where you’ll work: This is a full-time, in-person role based in our New York City office.

What we offer:

• Compensation: $70,000-$80,000 base, plus annual bonus eligibility
• Unlimited PTO so you can rest and recharge
• Sick leave and paid parental leave
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k)
• Employee discount on all Margaux products
• A close-knit, mission-driven team at an exciting moment in the company’s growth.
