Executive Assistant to CEO / Office Coordinator – AI Tech Startup

Office Coordinator & EA to CEO – AI Tech Startup

A scaling boutique AI Tech startup is hiring for a strategic partner to serve as the right hand to the Founder/CEO and support our Head of Operations. This isn’t just about managing a calendar; it’s about being the operational engine of a fast-growing startup. This role will also support onboarding/HR and support around the office including culture building, event planning, and office management.

Culture: We work “smarter, not harder”—typically 40–45 hour weeks with a focus on simplicity and high-quality craft.

Location: Flatiron District, NYC

In office Monday – Friday

The Package: $90k – $140k base range commensurate with experience PLUS

• Equity/Stock Options
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision
• Commuter benefits and 401k

**The Split: 40-50% Executive Support 50-60% Operations/Office Management**

• For the CEO: End-to-end inbox and Google calendar management, triaging high-stakes investor/press relationships, and ensuring he can focus entirely on product and strategy.
• For the Team: Partnering with the Head of Ops on high-touch onboarding, hiring coordination, culture-building events, and managing the new Flatiron office space.

Who You Are

• AI-Native: You don’t just use AI; you obsess over how to use tools like Claude, Notion AI, and Superhuman to automate the mundane and solve for efficiency.
• A “Career” EA/Ops Pro: You have 3–5+ years of Ops/EA experience and find genuine professional fulfillment in being the backbone of a business. You aren’t looking to “grow out” of this role, but to grow within it as the company scales.
• High EQ & Low Ego: You are confident enough to hold your own with a charismatic founder, yet humble enough to handle “all-hands-on-deck” startup needs.
