Executive Assistant to the founders

We’re looking for an executive assistant and operator who can strategically extend the cofounders of a unicorn consumer fintech startup. You will be responsible for helping the CEO and CTO get more done in a day by running and supporting projects, extending and amplifying communications, building strong relationships throughout the company, and embodying the values that will help the team grow and scale.

Needed traits are emotional intelligence, patient understanding, analytical skills, work ethic, practicality, positive vibes, and a desire to constantly learn and improve. You’ll handle classic EA duties—calendar, travel, logistics—while also coordinating cross-functional projects, supporting board and company communications, and acting as an internal “air-traffic controller” to keep two busy founders focused on the highest-value work.

Here are recommended qualifications for this role, but keep in mind that we hire people not positions – feel free to apply if you demonstrate strong slope to make up for low intercept:

• 5 + years EA experience supporting C-level leaders in high-growth tech; at least 2 years in a 50–250-person startup.

• Demonstrated mastery of calendar triage and priority juggling for multiple executives.

• Strong project-management skills (Jira, Notion, or similar).

• Fluent in G-Suite; intermediate Excel/Sheets (v-lookups, pivot tables for KPI prep).

• Excellent written communication; can draft concise board-ready prose.

• Discretion handling equity, comp, and M&A-related documents.

Our mission is to create fair, effective, and simple financial pathways to help 100M Americans reach their financial goals. Investors include Lightspeed, Coatue and GGV. Founders are experienced entrepreneurs who co-founded and served as executives at 3 FinTech unicorns.

Here are our values:

• Act with urgency. Good things come to those who hustle, and completing a two year project in a year allows us to compound our execution.

• Build in public. Transparency increases organizational awareness and unifies the culture into a more integral whole.

• Extreme ownership. Being in a 120-person startup means taking responsibility for things beyond the regular JD. There’s nothing more infectious and empowering than seeing someone exhibit extreme ownership.

Benefits: Company paid dental and health insurance, organic fruits and snacks, commuter benefit program, flexible vacation

Location: Downtown San Francisco, 5 days a week in office
