About the role

We’re looking for a senior executive assistant to work directly alongside our Founder & CEO. You’re someone who can manage a complex calendar, write a clear response, spot a conflict before it becomes a problem, and keep commitments moving without constant direction. You understand that great executive support depends as much on judgment and trust as it does on organization. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 7-10+ years of experience supporting a founder, CEO, or senior executive in a fast-changing organization, or comparable experience demonstrating the same level of judgment and responsibility
  • Always-on mindset: You’re reachable outside of standard hours, including evenings and weekends, handling urgent scheduling changes, travel disruptions, and time-sensitive requests as they arise
  • Strong calendar, travel, and executive-support skills. You’re comfortable managing competing requests and changing plans without losing the underlying priority
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. You can draft concise correspondence, match the right tone, and communicate clearly with senior stakeholders
  • High agency. You anticipate needs, ask good questions, solve routine problems independently, and close loops without being managed through every step
  • Discretion and good judgment. You can be trusted with confidential information and know when to act, push back, or escalate

You’ll own the day-to-day coordination behind the CEO’s calendar, inbox, meetings, travel, and follow-through. You’ll learn his priorities, protect time for the work that matters most, and make sure he has the context he needs for each conversation. You’ll also build the systems that make this support more reliable as Sent grows.
