About the role

We’re a hybrid team. You’ll join us in our Redwood Shores office on Tuesdays and Thursdays and work remotely the rest of the week.

  • Track relationship cadence. Maintain one source of truth for who we have met, when, and who is overdue for a touch
  • Be responsive on Slack and email during business hours, with occasional evening coverage when executives are traveling
