About the role

We're looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented Executive Assistant & Office Manager to support our CEO and COO while also owning the day-to-day workplace experience for the team. This is a role for someone who thrives on creating structure and organized systems, anticipates needs before they're asked, and enjoys the variety of switching between calendar Tetris and stocking the snack shelf.

  • Help maintain a positive, well-run office environment as the team scales
  • 1–3 years of experience in an EA, office coordination, or administrative role (internships count)
