Executive Assistant
8 hours ago
Provide high-impact EA/PA support to a senior leader active in venture capital and a Stanford-based PhD program. You'll own complex scheduling and email triage, coordinate frequent travel, and handle personal/lifestyle operations (family logistics, vendor coordination, remodel admin).
You'll also pitch in on light recruiting ops (job posts, screening, scheduling). Discretion, speed, and excellent judgment are essential.
What You'll Do ● Calendar & Scheduling ○ Own complex calendars; schedule/confirm meetings; proactively resolve conflicts; prep agendas & briefs. ○ Coordinate drivers, rides, air travel & hotels, and end-to-end travel itineraries.
● Family & Household Ops ○ Coordinate nanny schedules, school/pickups, and family logistics. ○ Track home renovation timelines, vendors, punch lists, and budgets; keep us ahead of decisions.
● Startup Support ○ Assist with recruiting (sourcing, scheduling, candidate comms), payroll & bill pay (light bookkeeping tasks), vendor management, and simple contracts/NDAs. ○ Social posting: draft, schedule, and publish across selected platforms; maintain a simple content calendar.
● Execution & Accountability ○ Maintain deliverable trackers for us (and our teams), nudge responsibly, and close loops. ○ Run a weekly Sunday prep to align on the next 2–3 weeks, risks, and priorities.
You Are ● Meticulous: Details, names, times, docs. ● Gritty: You push through adversity and figure things out. ● Coachably strong: You take feedback constructively, not personally. ● Proactive: You don't wait to be told; you anticipate and execute. ● Challenge-seeking: You like hard problems and keep raising your bar (evidence of sustained personal discipline—e.g., consistent fitness training, demanding hobbies, or long-term achievements). ● Disciplined & discreet: You protect confidentiality and follow through every time. ● PST: You work our hours and are reliable for the Sunday prep. ● Strong English: must have great oral english comms.
Must-Have Skills & Tools ● Expert with Google Calendar/Meet, Gmail, Docs/Sheets/Drive. ● Experience coordinating travel, vendors, and multi-party schedules. ● Basic ops/finance admin: payroll platforms (e.g., Gusto/Rippling), bill pay/expenses (e.g., Expensify, QuickBooks or equivalent). ● Polished written communication; can draft concise emails, briefs, and social posts.
Nice to Have ● Prior EA/Chief-of-Staff experience with founders or high-growth teams. ● Recruiting coordination (LinkedIn sourcing, ATS basics). ● Light project management for renovations or facilities. ● Social media writing and scheduling tools (LI/Buffer/Hootsuite/Later).
What Success Looks Like (30/60/90) ● 30 days: Clean calendar control; Sunday prep running; active task board; travel playbook created. ● 60 days: Renovation tracker live; vendors on cadence; recruiting pipeline humming; bills/payroll zero-defect. ● 90 days: We're consistently ahead of decisions; deliverables close on time; social cadence steady; zero surprises. $800 - $1,100 a month Why Join Assist World?
