WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We're seeking a New York–based Executive Assistant to support two senior leaders at a fast-growing, in-person AI company. This is a pivotal, high-visibility role: you'll be one of two administrative anchors in a New York office of roughly 200 people—a social, high-energy environment preparing to move from SoHo to Flatiron.
You'll support the General Manager of Healthcare (Agent Development), who serves as site lead for the New York office and the Head of Sales Engineering. The ideal candidate is an experienced, adaptable professional who thrives when calendars shift constantly, cross-functional coordination is the norm, and proactive ownership matters.
As one of the first two EAs on-site in New York, you'll help shape the local administrative function—establishing rhythms, supporting the office's growth, and serving as a trusted partner to leadership. This role rewards craftsmanship, sound judgment, and the ability to anticipate needs across two leaders with very different footprints.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Provide comprehensive executive support to the GM of Healthcare (Agent Development) & Head of Sales Engineering, including complex calendar management, international travel, briefing materials, meeting prep, and follow-ups
Proactively anticipate scheduling conflicts across both leaders and ensure alignment on daily and weekly priorities
Serve as the on-the-ground presence in the New York office, partnering with the New York Office Manager and internal teams across product, engineering, and operations
Support in-person meetings, events, and on-site logistics, including executive dinners and team gatherings
Draft internal correspondence and act as a credible representative of the leaders you support
Plan and execute team events, offsites, and gatherings as needed
Maintain a high level of confidentiality and discretion with sensitive information and communications
WHAT YOU BRING
5+ years of Executive Assistant or similar strategic support experience
Demonstrated ability to support multiple senior leaders simultaneously, adapting to varying communication styles and working preferences
Experience coordinating complex international travel across multiple time zones
Strong ability to build relationships and partner effectively with cross-functional teams
Excellent time-management skills, with the ability to quickly shift tasks and priorities while staying organized and proactive
Comfort operating as the first or sole EA in an office, establishing structure and presence
High degree of discretion, integrity, and sound judgment
Advanced proficiency with Google Suite & Slack
Willingness and ability to work on-site in New York regularly, with periodic travel to San Francisco
NICE TO HAVE
Experience supporting C-Suite or SVP-level leaders
Previous work in a fast-growing startup environment
Experience being the first EA in a new or growing office
Familiarity with AI, software development, or developer-facing product environments
Strong event and logistics management skills
