## About the role

Own the founders' calendars: complex, shifting schedules across three founders and multiple time zones, prioritized ruthlessly, with focus time protected. Own travel end-to-end: domestic and international flights, hotels, ground, agendas, and the last-minute changes, so a trip is never a distraction.

## What they're looking for

- You've done this at a fast-moving, high-growth technology company, and you know what it takes to support leaders who operate at speed
- Anticipatory and proactive - you see around corners, prepare for what's next, and solve problems before they're raised. You are never strictly reactive
- Ruthlessly organized and detail-obsessed. Nothing slips: not a flight, not a receipt, not a package, not a guest
- Calm and resourceful under pressure, and able to turn on a dime when plans change
- A warm, clear communicator with a genuine service mindset - and the discretion to be trusted with sensitive schedules, travel, and information
- Low ego, high ownership. You take pride in a well-run office and a well-run day
