About the role

This is the role for an EA who finds genuine satisfaction in being the reason everything stands up.
Every hour the CEO spends on the wrong thing is an hour we are not winning.
Your job is to find and eliminate time leakage: every 10-minute context switch, every meeting that should have been a Slack, every back-and-forth that ate a Tuesday morning.

Own a complex CEO calendar across multiple time zones, with more execs added over time
Build a calendar that reflects real priorities, not just whoever asked loudest

Coordinate trips to customer sites, which often means jobsite visits, regional AEC offices, and industry conferences (AIA, ENR events, AEC tech summits)
Run offsites, dinners, and customer visits in San Diego and on the road
The judgment to know when a personal thing is blocking work and to handle it before anyone asks
Occasionally pick up a discrete project end-to-end when it lands between functions
Early-stage means some weeks you'll help close a vendor contract, run point on an offsite, or unblock something for recruiting or HR
3-5+ years supporting founders or senior executives, ideally at a startup or fast-moving tech company
You've supported a high-output executive in a fast environment and you kept up
You've planned real travel, not just booked a flight

Be the front door for customers, investors, partners, and candidates reaching the CEO
Customers come first here
