Location: San Jose, CA (On-site)
Annual salary: USD 100,000 - USD 135,000
Type: Full-time
Reports to: Chief of Staff, CEO office

The Role

This is not a typical Executive Assistant position. You will be embedded within our CEO Office, working directly with the CEO and Chief of Staff as a critical operational partner in a high-velocity environment. You'll manage a diverse portfolio spanning executive support, office operations, product review logistics, and cross-functional coordination. This role requires someone who thrives in ambiguity, exercises impeccable judgment, and can shift seamlessly between strategic projects and hands-on execution.

Given the nature of this role, you will have access to highly confidential and sensitive company information. Discretion is non-negotiable.

Key Responsibilities
  • Manage complex scheduling for internal and external meetings for CEO Office across global time zones
  • Coordinate domestic and international travel arrangements for CEO Office
  • Conduct product research based on CEO’s requests to support leadership decision-making
  • Coordinate demo preparation logistics for CEO with Content Ops, Marketing and Facility including procurement, research, and packing lists
  • Maintain robust tracking systems for requests, action items, and follow-ups across the CEO Office — ensuring clear ownership, status visibility, and timely closure
  • Provide flexible, responsive support in a fast-paced environment with variable hours
  • Coordinate product review meetings and prepare agendas and pre-meeting materials
  • Event planning (team events, offsites, support with external meetings). Responsible for management & coordination related to venue/vendor sourcing & logistics, agenda coordination & presentation logistics
  • Serve as the on-site office administration point of contact, including supporting executive workspace needs
Who You AreRequired Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, extensive experience within a technology or a rapidly scaling company
  • Proven ability to handle confidential information with the utmost discretion and professionalism
  • Exceptional organizational skills with an almost obsessive attention to order — you bring Marie Kondo energy to everything from calendars and documentation systems to event logistics and physical workspaces. Chaos doesn't stand a chance around you.
  • Track record of building and maintaining organized systems for tracking requests, follow-ups, and information flow — you ensure nothing gets lost, delayed, or forgotten across multiple workstreams.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficiency in Google Workspace, Slack, Notion and presentation tools
  • Experience with event planning and office operations
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and pivot quickly in a dynamic environment
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in consumer tech, gaming, or hardware companies
  • Background in supporting executives with external communications (PR, media)
  • Experience with metrics reporting and deck creation
Mindset & Attributes
  • Tech-savvy with a strong interest in using technology to improve work efficiency
  • You are unfazed by ambiguity and comfortable operating without a playbook
  • You anticipate needs before they arise
  • You create order out of chaos — whether it's structuring the CEO Office's week, organizing a demo kit, or ensuring every file, folder, and follow-up has a home. Your systems are intuitive, your spaces are tidy, and nothing slips through the cracks.
  • You are low-ego and high-accountability
  • You understand that supporting a CEO Office in a fast-growing startup means flexibility — if you expect predictable 9-to-5 hours, this role is not for you
  • You are a self-starter who takes ownership and follows through relentlessly
We Offer
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Flexible working hours and vacation policy.
  • Product-driven culture that treasures talents and individual growth.
  • Front-row seat and hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies in the evolving gaming field

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
