We’re Hiring: Executive Assistant to the CEO
Location: New Canaan
Full-Time | On-Site
Are you a proactive, sharp, and trusted right-hand who thrives in fast-paced environments? Do you have the instincts to manage up, the organizational skills to keep everything running smoothly, and the confidence to serve as a strategic partner to a CEO?
We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to the CEO — someone who does more than manage calendars and emails. This role is about enabling leadership, protecting focus, and creating leverage. You’ll help drive execution, coordinate priorities, and act as a gatekeeper, sounding board, and force multiplier for our CEO.
What You’ll Do:
Masterfully manage and prioritize a complex calendar, meetings, and travel
Prepare the CEO for meetings with agendas, briefings, and research
Track priorities, follow-ups, and internal/external communication
Anticipate needs — see around corners, catch what others miss
Maintain confidentiality while managing board, investor, and executive-level relationships
Help the CEO focus on what matters most by managing up and offering strategic support
✅ You Are:
Experienced (5+ years) supporting C-level executives
Exceptionally organized, resourceful, and calm under pressure
A confident communicator and problem-solver
Someone who “manages up” instinctively — not afraid to push back or guide leadership
Discreet, professional, and proactive at all times
Tech-savvy and fluent in modern tools
Why This Role Matters:
This isn’t just admin work — this is leadership support at the highest level. You’ll be a key force in helping our CEO focus on strategy, stay aligned with teams, and move fast on what matters most.
If you’re energized by impact, trusted with responsibility, and eager to work side-by-side with leadership — let’s talk.
