About This Role

We are looking for an Executive Assistant with 7+ years of experience to serve as the right hand to our CEO, we are a fast-growing AI edtech startup transforming K–12 education. You’ll be a force multiplier owning the CEO’s time, schedule, and logistics so he can focus on building the future of learning. The ideal candidate thrives in unstructured, high-change environments and has supported founders or senior investors at startups or VC firms. You’re resourceful, tech-savvy, and don’t need hand-holding, you anticipate needs, communicate as a proxy for the CEO, and find creative ways to make more time in the day.

What will you be doing?

• Own and strategically manage the CEO’s complex calendar — prioritizing ruthlessly, saying no when needed, and sequencing meetings to align with company goals
• Act as a proxy for the CEO in communications with investors, board members, partners, and internal stakeholders
• Coordinate all travel logistics including flights, car services, and troubleshooting last-minute changes (e.g., canceled flights, rescheduled customer meetings)
• Proactively find creative ways to boost the CEO’s efficiency — going beyond basic scheduling to remove friction and free up time
• Handle a mix of professional and light personal assistant duties (e.g., confirming appointments, coordinating dog walker) with discretion and sound judgment
