About the role

As our Executive Assistant, you will work directly with our co-founders. This is an opportunity to work alongside individuals who are driven by excellence and a passion for technology. The ideal candidate is a team player with exceptional communication skills, meticulous attention to detail and creative problem-solving skills. This role requires the ability to juggle competing responsibilities while prioritizing.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years supporting senior executives , ideally multiple at once, in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment
  • Exceptionally detail-oriented. You catch the wrong time zone, the misspelled name, the flight that connects too tightly. Details are not a task for you, they are a reflex
  • A strong communicator , written and verbal. You write clearly and quickly, and you adapt your tone whether you're emailing a board member, a client's CFO, or a candidate
  • Discreet and trustworthy. You have a high degree of integrity around confidential and sensitive information, and sound judgment about what to share, with whom, and when
  • Proactive and resourceful. You do not wait to be asked. You identify what needs doing, propose a solution, and close the loop
  • Calm under pressure and resilient. Priorities change, meetings collapse, flights get canceled, you re-plan without drama

WithCoverage replaces the traditional insurance brokerage with AI-supercharged risk management designed for the modern economy.

We partner with hundreds of high-growth, category-defining companies, including GoPuff, Eight Sleep, Bombas, Chomps, and Blank Street Coffee.

WithCoverage was founded by JD Ross (co-founder of Opendoor) and Max Brenner (Bain, Compound). We have raised over $43M from leading investors including Sequoia, 8VC, Khosla Ventures and Crystal Venture Partners.

Our ambition is not to build a better brokerage. It is to redefine how risk is managed across the...
