POSITION OVERVIEW Biena is seeking a seasoned, highly organized, and deeply trustworthy Executive Assistant & Office Manager to serve as the operational right hand to our CEO. This is a senior-level support role at the heart of a fast-growing consumer brand, requiring someone who brings professional maturity, exceptional judgment, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise. The ideal candidate has meaningful experience supporting senior executives and is comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial, fast-paced environment where no two days are identical. This is not an entry-level role: we’re looking for someone who has been around the block professionally, takes pride in running things seamlessly behind the scenes, and thrives on variety and ownership. This role blends two core areas of responsibility: Executive Support to the CEO Office & Administrative Operations (including sales/marketing administrative support)

Requirements

5–8 years of experience in executive assistant, chief of staff, or senior administrative roles; prior experience supporting a C-suite executive is strongly preferred.
Startup or CPG/consumer brand experience is a significant plus.
You’re comfortable in an environment that is lean, fast, and always evolving.
Exceptional organizational skills; you can manage competing priorities without dropping balls.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; strong judgment when drafting or communicating on behalf of the CEO.
High discretion and integrity. This is a role built on trust.
Digitally literate and comfortable navigating modern tools and platforms, including social media. You don’t need to be a content creator, but you should be at ease online and capable of representing the brand professionally in community interactions.
Proactive, solutions-oriented, and self-directed; you anticipate rather than wait.
Professional maturity to interact with senior stakeholders, retail partners, and external contacts with polish and confidence.
Comfort with variety: this role spans executive support, office management, and operational coordination. You should genuinely enjoy wearing many hats.
