Job description
About the Role
Our client, a young but highly accomplished founder operating in the private financial platform space that intersects banking infrastructure, private markets, and fintech, is seeking an Executive Assistant. His business involves sophisticated financial instruments and cross-jurisdictional strategic relationships with investors and institutions. Based in New York City, he is expanding his team to include a dedicated executive support partner after previously relying on family support.
Role Overview
This position is not merely about managing calendars but developing the operational framework that enables the founder to excel. The ideal candidate is proactive, strategic, and able to anticipate needs ahead of time, streamlining processes to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Key Responsibilities
- Master managing a highly fluid and reactive schedule including last-minute international travel and priority assessment.
- Ensure absolute follow-up on all projects, discussions, and commitments to completion with no detail overlooked.
- Coordinate with US and global advisors, banks, legal experts, and other stakeholders across corporate, financial, and investment matters.
- Handle both professional and personal administrative duties, including residency, trusts, and family office tasks.
- Design and regularly refine operational systems and rhythms to support peak performance.
Candidate Requirements
- Prior primary role as an Executive Assistant or Chief of Staff supporting a founder.
- Experience supporting a founder within the first five years of venture creation.
- Familiarity working in the fast-paced, ambiguous environment of early-stage startups.
- Currently based and professionally established in New York City; relocation candidates will not be considered.
- Proven record of long-term trusted professional partnerships with principals rather than transient roles.
Preferred Profile
- Energetic about collaborating with ambitious founders to build exceptional enterprises.
- Proactive in turning conversations into action without prompting.
- Highly regarded for sound judgment and the ability to anticipate and resolve problems early.
- Responsive, decisive, and readily accessible to maintain momentum.
- Discreet, with a commitment to confidentiality and earning trust through reliability and judgment.
- Intellectually curious and embraces technology, including AI, to enhance work quality without compromising judgment.
- Fluency in Spanish is advantageous but not required.
- Mostly working from home with one day per week in the office alongside the founder; office space also available if preferred.
Compensation
Position offers a base salary of $200,000 along with health benefits.
