Executive Assistant to the Founder(s)

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE FOUNDER

• You'll run the founder's calendar, travel and follow-ups, and keep our Bangalore office running. Small team, lots of moving parts, and you're the person holding it all together.
• Plotline is backed by Elevation Capital and works with Dream11, Upstox, Zepto, and others.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

• At a 30-person startup, the founder's time is quite expensive.
• You'll see how the company actually runs, before almost anyone else does.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

Day to day, you'll manage the founder's calendar, book travel, chase follow-ups from meetings, and deal with whatever the office throws at you.

Key challenges

• Speed: Plans change daily. You reschedule, rebook and reshuffle without letting anything slip.
• Judgment: Not everything needs the founder. You figure out what does, and protect focus time for it.

OUTCOMES EXPECTED

• Q1: Calendar runs without conflicts. Travel is booked right the first time. Follow-ups from meetings don't get lost. The office runs well.
• Year 1: The founder spends visibly more time on what matters. Offsites and events are planned and executed well. Vendors deliver on time and get paid on time.

RESPONSIBILITIES

EXECUTIVE SUPPORT

• Own the founder's calendar. Schedule meetings, resolve conflicts before they happen, keep priorities in order.
• Track follow-ups and open items from meetings so nothing falls through.
• Put together short briefs before important meetings: who we're meeting, why, and what we want out of it.
• Handle confidential information carefully. You'll be trusted with a lot.

TRAVEL, EVENTS & OFFSITES

• Book flights, hotels and cabs for business trips. Get the details right.
• Plan company offsites and internal events end to end.

OFFICE OPERATIONS

• Keep the office clean, stocked and working. Manage housekeeping and office vendors.
• Handle vendor relationships: maintenance, catering, supplies. On-time delivery, on-time payments.

REQUIREMENTS

• 2-5 years in an EA, admin, or operations role. Startup experience helps.
• Clear written and spoken English.
• Comfortable with Google Calendar, Sheets and Docs.
• Full-time from our Bangalore office in HSR Layout.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Organized to a fault. Loose ends bother you.
• You think a step ahead and fix small problems before they grow.
• Self-sufficient. Nobody manages your to-do list; you manage everyone else's.
• Discreet. A lot of what crosses your desk stays with you.
• Direct and fast.
