About the role
We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant who will be the right hand to our CTO. This isn't your typical EA role - you'll manage everything from inbox zero and calendar optimization to travel logistics and personal tasks. You'll anticipate needs before they're asked, solve problems before they become issues, and keep everything running smoothly so our CTO can focus on building and leading.

Handle sensitive and confidential communications with discretion
Calendar & Meeting Coordination
Master calendar management - schedule, reschedule, optimize, and manage conflicts seamlessly
Coordinate meetings across multiple time zones with internal and external stakeholders (primarily US-based)
Prepare meeting agendas, materials, and follow-ups
Assist with all-hands meeting logistics and coordination
Travel & Logistics
Book and manage all travel arrangements - flights, hotels, ground transportation, itineraries
Create detailed travel plans and handle last-minute changes seamlessly
Coordinate logistics for company events and offsites
Administrative & Personal Support
Process payments, expense reports, and administrative paperwork
Manage contract logistics and route legal documents appropriately
Support personal tasks remotely (forms, coordinating services, problem-solving)
Use company virtual card for authorized expenses
