About this role

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly capable, tech-savvy Executive Assistant to support a fast-paced executive overseeing a growing team of 85 employees. This role requires sharp judgment, extreme reliability, and the ability to operate at speed with minimal instruction.

You will work directly with the Partner as a true right hand. Instructions will often arrive incomplete or in shorthand, and the output still needs to be right. The ideal candidate is proactive, analytical, and comfortable working with senior leaders who move quickly, communicate briefly, and expect precision.

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

Adaptive execution. You don't need perfect instructions. You fill in gaps, make decisions, and course-correct on the fly.

Relational intelligence. You build trust easily, read between the lines, and manage relationships with warmth and professionalism.

Comfortable with speed. You thrive in fast-paced environments. Urgency energizes you rather than overwhelms you.

Low ego, high ownership. You are not territorial. You care about outcomes, not credit.

Judgment under ambiguity. You can prioritize when everything feels urgent and make sound calls without full context.

Ideal Profile

High Sociability. Naturally connects with people and manages relationships effortlessly.

Moderate to High Consistency. Brings structure without rigidity and can pivot when priorities shift.

Moderate to High Precision. Catches details that matter without getting stuck in perfectionism.

Moderate to High Intensity. Matches the Partner's pace and is comfortable moving quickly.

Moderate to High Emotional Resonance. Reads emotional dynamics and provides a stabilizing presence during high-pressure moments.

Keep the inbox clean, current, and free of dropped threads

Executive and Business Support

Provide high-level administrative and operational support

Manage complex calendars, including syncing and coordinating multiple calendars

Implement and manage scheduling automation and scheduling assistant tools

Support both professional and occasional personal tasks as needed

What to Expect

This role requires flexibility, resilience, and comfort with constant change. You will work closely with a visionary, high-energy firm Partner who operates at altitude and moves fast. Your ability to stay grounded, keep things moving, and bring warmth to the chaos will be your greatest asset.

If you need predictability, clear boundaries, or step-by-step direction, this role will be exhausting. If you thrive on variety, love solving problems in real time, and want to be at the center of the action, this could be the right fit.
