  • You’re an execution machine who completes tasks thoughtfully and proactively with minimal oversight.
  • You’re service-oriented and take pride in creating seamless experiences.
  • You can navigate ambiguity and are resourceful when priorities shift.
  • You work well around high performers, keeping professionalism and diplomacy top of mind.
  • You’re discreet and dependable, handling sensitive information with poise and confidentiality.
  • You’re highly responsive and move fast, comfortable with urgency.
  • You work when the work needs to get done, including nights and weekends; this is not a 9-to-5 job.
  • For Executive Assistant 1: Based in San Francisco with Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday required in office.
  • For Executive Assistant 2: Responsive during Pacific Time Zone hours.
  • For Executive Assistant 2: Thrive on thinking strategically about a person’s day without direct communication from the Partner.

Nice to Have

  • For Executive Assistant 2: Preference for an asynchronous and highly autonomous work style.

Team & Environment

Executive Assistant 1 supports two Partners, one based in SF and one based remotely. They report directly to the SF-based Partner and collaborate frequently with both Partners and their Chiefs of Staff. Executive Assistant 2 supports one remote Managing Partner and reports directly to the Managing Partner’s Chief of Staff.
