About the role

Executive Business Partner to support four co-founders with calendar management, planning, and cross-functional coordination. Focus on judgment, systems-building, and autonomous problem-solving in a fully in-person role based in San Francisco.

Responsibilities

  • Manage complex, rapidly evolving calendars across four founders, prioritizing competing requests with sound judgment and protecting time for high-value work
  • Anticipate needs, prepare founders fully for meetings, and make thoughtful tradeoffs instead of accommodating every request
  • Handle confidential information and sensitive situations with maturity and discretion
  • Own travel planning, itineraries, and expenses
  • Provide limited personal support to founders as needed
  • Build and run operating rhythms that keep the company aligned, including leadership meetings, annual planning, OKR processes, cross-functional reviews, and other key business cycles
  • Coordinate board meetings, working directly with board members' EAs, and support board materials preparation
  • Draft agendas, capture key decisions, and track follow-ups so commitments close
  • Partner closely with the co-founders on business needs and serve as a trusted partner on how they operate
  • Push for clarity and follow-through across the team on the founders' behalf
  • Build strong relationships with functional leaders and other key stakeholders across the company
  • Represent the founders thoughtfully with external stakeholders, including investors, partners, and candidates

Qualifications

  • 5 to 8 years of experience in executive support, executive operations, or a similar role supporting senior executives at a fast-moving, high-growth company
  • High agency; you create structure where none exists and solve problems without a fully defined playbook
  • Comfortable managing and diplomatically pushing back on strong personalities, competing priorities, and changing plans
  • Able to coach executives on how to work effectively with an executive partner
  • Equally strong at tactical support (calendars, travel) and higher-leverage work (planning, operating rhythms)
  • Excellent judgment about what to own directly, when to push, and when to bring something to a founder or the leadership team
  • Strong writer and communicator who can get a room aligned
  • Discretion and maturity when handling sensitive information
  • Bonus points for experience with first-time founders or executives, or building operating rhythms from scratch.
