And it’s not just startups - we have customers in ecommerce, non-profit, crypto, and other industries as well. Executive Business Partner to the CEO is a high visibility role managing complex schedules and acting as a gatekeeper to ensure the CEO’s efficiency and focus on core objectives.

We are looking for someone who is unafraid to try new things, embrace new ideas, and who welcomes suggestions for how we can iterate on our processes.
This role is open to candidates regardless of location; however, availability to work West Coast (Pacific Time) business hours is required. Candidates based in the San Francisco Bay Area are preferred but not required.

Liaise with Board members and external executive offices.
Assist with ad hoc projects, events, onsites (virtual and in-person) and travel arrangements as needed.

Be dependable, discrete, incredibly organized with superb attention to detail and a strong ability to execute.
Have excellent time management skills with the ability to quickly shift tasks and priorities as needed.
