About The Position

The Executive Assistant provides high-impact operational support to Longroad Energy’s CEO and President & CFO, serving as a trusted partner at the center of executive leadership. This is not a traditional EA role. The person stepping into this position will exercise sound judgment, operate with a high degree of autonomy, and bring genuine agility to supporting two executives who may have different working styles and preferences — adapting their approach to serve each principal in the way that works best for them. Reporting primarily to the President & CFO, this role will protect executive time for highest-value activities, own the rhythms and calendars that keep the leadership team running, and represent Longroad’s executives with professionalism and candor. The EA will be a key partner in maintaining the company’s management operating systems as Longroad scales.
