About the Role

We are looking for a high-leverage Executive Assistant to act as a strategic right hand to our CEO. This is not a typical administrative position. Beyond handling calendar management and travel coordination in a fast-paced, chaotic environment, you will play an active role in driving operational efficiency.

We need a clear-thinking, proactive problem solver who can jump right in without needing hand-holding. You will analyze data, build reports, identify operational gaps, and bring solutions to the table before issues arise.

Key Responsibilities

1. Executive Operations & Gatekeeping

  • Act as the primary point of contact and buffer for the CEO, managing internal and external communications with tact and judgment.

  • Maintain complete situational awareness of the CEO’s priorities, deadlines, and ongoing projects.

  • Manage complex, fluid calendars across multiple time zones, adjusting dynamically to continuous travel schedule changes.

  • Handle seamless international travel arrangements, itineraries, and logistics.

2. Data Analysis & Business Intelligence

  • Gather data across departments to create clear, actionable executive reports, dashboards, and presentations.

  • Continuously audit workflows and metrics to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and areas for process improvement.

  • Conduct research and synthesize complex information into quick, digestible briefs for decision-making.

3. Financial & Administrative Support

  • Assist with financial tracking, expense management, budget auditing, and financial reporting.

  • Monitor key financial indicators and track cross-departmental deliverables to ensure projects remain on budget and on schedule.

  • Handle confidential business and financial information with high discretion.

Requirements & Qualifications
  • Turnkey Capability: Proven experience as an Executive Assistant, Chief Of Staff, Business Operations Manager, or Strategic Coordinator. You can drop into a fast-moving environment on Day 1 without requiring extensive training.

  • High IQ & Analytical Thinking: Exceptional logic and problem-solving ability. You don't just report data; you understand what the numbers mean and recommend action.

  • Proactive & Autonomous: You anticipate needs before they are voiced and actively look for ways to lighten the CEO's operational load.

  • Chaos Tolerance: High adaptability, mental resilience, and composure in fast-changing, high-pressure environments.

  • Financial Literacy: Comfort with numbers, spreadsheets, financial statements, and basic business finance principles.

  • Time Zone Agility: Willingness and technical setup to work asynchronously and align with the CEO’s shifting global schedule.

  • Tech Savvy: Advanced proficiency in modern workspace tools (e.g., Claude, Notion, Slack, Google Workspace, Excel/Google Sheets, project management platforms).

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
