Experience coordinating with external vendors, advisors, or other stakeholders

Interest in growing into broader operations and project management responsibilities What Success Looks Like The ideal candidate becomes a trusted extension of the Founder—anticipating needs, protecting time, maintaining a high standard of communication, and ensuring important details and commitments are handled without constant oversight. This is an opportunity for an experienced Executive Assistant who wants to grow beyond traditional EA responsibilities and become a key part of a scaling investment firm.
