Executive Assistant

About the role

We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support our CEO. This is not a traditional calendar-management role. Our CEO is deeply involved in founder-led strategic partnerships, fundraising conversations, and company leadership. Success in this role requires someone who can operate as the CEO's force multiplier-keeping priorities moving, creating leverage, and ensuring critical conversations don't fall through the cracks. You'll spend a significant portion of your time supporting new partnerships and existing partnership efforts by coordinating meetings, managing follow-ups, tracking outreach, and helping maintain momentum across a wide range of external stakeholders. You'll need to be comfortable applying pressure when necessary, tracking down information, and ensuring the right people are moving with urgency. If you're highly organized, relentlessly detail-oriented, proactive, and energized by helping a company grow, we'd love to meet you.

• Operational Excellence
• Create systems and processes that help the CEO operate more efficiently
• Maintain organization across key initiatives and strategic projects
• Anticipate needs before they become urgent
• Help prepare for board meetings, leadership meetings, offsites, and customer events
• Act as a true partner and life-optimizer, managing everything from complex business calendars to occasional personal scheduling and logistics so the Executive can operate at peak productivity

Requirements

• 4+ years of Executive Assistant experience supporting senior executives
• Previous experience supporting a Chief Revenue Officer, Head of Sales, Founder-led sales organization, or similarly customer-facing executive is required
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail

• Take pride in being incredibly organized
• Enjoy working alongside ambitious people building something meaningful
• View every problem as solvable with the right amount of persistence and creativity
• Why This Role Matters
• Our CEO's time is one of Clair's most valuable resources. The person in this role will have a direct impact on how quickly we build relationships, close partnerships, and execute on the opportunities in front of us.
