About the role
Nift is looking for an Executive Assistant to act as a strategic partner and force multiplier for our CEO. This is not a traditional admin seat. You'll operate at the speed and altitude of a high-performing executive — managing time, information, and priorities with precision, and anticipating what's needed before it's asked.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of professional experience, including 3+ years supporting a VP-or-above executive at a tech startup or VC firm, BS/BA preferred
- A strong bias toward action — you take initiative, work autonomously, and hunt down the answers, context, and data needed to solve problems
- Exceptional judgment, discretion, and composure under pressure
- High EQ and strong relationship-building instincts, paired with clear written and verbal communication
- Outstanding organization and follow-through: you manage multiple workstreams at once and drive every one to completion
- Adaptability when plans change last minute — and an optimistic outlook when they do
