About the role

Executive Assistant to two founding executives, responsible for managing calendars, inboxes, travel, and personal/admin tasks across Amsterdam, Zurich, and the US; ensures efficient operations and that important items are acted upon, while maintaining discretion and a proactive mindset.

Responsibilities

  • Run two calendars as one system: Protect focus time, balance competing priorities across time zones, and decide what deserves a meeting and what can be an email.
  • Own the inbox front line: Triage, draft and reply on their behalf to customers, investors, candidates and the team, so the important things surface and the rest gets handled.
  • Plan travel end to end: Customer visits, conferences and trips between Amsterdam, Zurich and the US, from flights and hotels to the meeting room and dinner booking on the other side.
  • Take care of personal and life admin: Appointments, household logistics, official paperwork, bills and renewals, handled so none of it lands on their desks.
  • Prepare every important meeting: Make sure briefs and context are ready beforehand, and follow up on decisions and action items afterwards.
  • Make recurring admin disappear: Automate repeated processes so they mostly run themselves.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years supporting senior executives, ideally more than one at a time
  • Sharp judgment about what's urgent, what can wait and what never needs to reach the exec
  • Clear, polished written English
  • You spot the next problem before anyone asks and fix it
  • Experience handling personal admin alongside the professional side, with the discretion that comes with it
  • Organised and dependable without needing a rigid structure; at a ~90-person company you'll often build the process yourself
  • At home in Google Workspace and quick to pick up new software tools
