• Support ongoing projects and special business initiatives, by tracking deadlines, next steps, and responsible parties.
• Produce the Origination Podcast (recording, editing, publishing) and manage Salesforce reporting.
• Communicate weekly platform updates to leadership (CEO, chiefs of staff) and maintain a shared project tracker (e.g., Microsoft Planner).
• Coordinate platform events with Marketing team, plus organize occasional ad-hoc local events.
• Support onboarding logistics for new hires.
• Serve as a warm, visible presence on the floor — helping new employees settle in, building relationships, and surfacing morale or dynamics worth knowing about.
• Handle sensitive business and personal information with discretion and take ownership of ad hoc projects as they arise.

Requirements

• 5+ years as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or comparable role, including experience supporting a senior executive or demanding principal.
• Willingness to support both business and personal matters in an approximately 50/50 split.
• Strong employment history reflecting reliability and longevity, with a proven track record of following through quickly and flagging issues before they become problems.
• Exceptional organization, time management, and judgment — sound instincts for discretion, priorities, and calm execution under shifting plans.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong interpersonal instincts, and the ability to build relationships with individuals at all levels.
• Curious, warm, and process-minded --- genuinely interested in the business, always looking for smarter ways to do the work, and comfortable turning a rough idea into a structured plan.
• Experience working in an organization that runs on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) is a plus.
• Comfortable working independently, taking ownership from beginning to completion, and shifting between high-level business projects and practical personal requests.
• Adaptable and team-oriented, with a willingness to take on responsibilities of varying scope and the confidence to help keep the executive aligned with established priorities.
• Tech-forward — advanced Microsoft Office/Teams skills, genuine interest in using AI to work smarter, and quick to learn new systems (Workday experience a plus).
