About the role

You'll be the right hand to two of our leaders - the person who makes sure their time is spent on what matters, that nothing falls through the cracks, and that the day-to-day rhythm of the business runs with the same care we put into our product. You'll have exposure to every part of the business, and the chance to shape how a fast-growing company actually operates. We will trust you with a lot; and in return, you'll have visibility into every corner of a growing company.

Responsibilities

  • Founder support
  • Own their calendars with judgment - protect deep work, prioritize what's urgent, prepare them for every meeting
  • Stay ahead of conflicts, double-bookings, and last-minute changes
  • Build in breathing room - buffer travel time, guard focus blocks, and keep the day from getting away from them
  • Coordinate domestic and international travel - flights, hotels, ground transport, and the business meals and meetings woven in between
  • Put together detailed itineraries they can actually rely on: confirmation numbers, contacts, and everything in between
  • Keep expenses organized and reimbursements moving
  • Meetings and follow-through
  • Prep agendas, capture next steps, chase decisions
  • Be the connective tissue between the founders and the rest of the leadership team
  • Culture and team moments
  • Plan the offsites, team dinners, and in-office celebrations that keep Margaux close-knit as we grow
  • Handle gifting with care - employee milestones, client appreciation, holidays, and founder outreach that feels personal
  • Partner with our existing People / Admin team to build community and support our employees
  • Board outreach and coordination, including scheduling, venue, catering, tech, materials - everything that makes them feel effortless
  • Coordinate board member travel, accommodations, and dinners, requiring professional and consistent communication
  • Personal support
  • Help the founders manage the edges of their lives so they can stay focused on the business
  • Handle infrequent personal scheduling, reservations, and errands with discretion
  • Take on the ad hoc research, purchases, and logistics that come with working closely with busy people

Requirements

  • You've supported a senior leader, run an office, or held a role where you were trusted with more than your title suggested
  • You're discreet - the founders' calendars, finances, and conversations are yours to protect, and you treat them that way
  • You communicate clearly and beautifully - in writing, in person, and in the way you read a room and respond to what's actually needed
  • You're warm with people and rigorous with details
  • You're fluent in the tools (Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Shopify, Greenhouse, Justworks - or you are open to learning the ins and outs of using them well)
  • You're quick on your feet, creative under pressure, and the kind of person who surfaces a problem along with a solution
  • Where you'll work:
  • This is a full-time, in-person role based in our New York City office.

What started as a made-to-order shoe brand has grown into a community of women who care deeply about craft, design, and the small details that make a life feel considered. We're a small team in New York at a genuinely interesting moment - our foundation is really solid, and now we're focused on building upon it. We're hiring an Executive Assistant who'll work directly with the people driving this next chapter.
