About The Position

• Technical proficiency in G-Suite, Slack, and internal collaboration tools like Notion, with a track record of creating organizational tools and processes
• Prior experience in a similar role and environment (rapidly-growing startup); comfortable with autonomy and momentum

Responsibilities

• Manage a complex and dynamic calendar, ensuring priorities are met and schedules are optimized
• Ensure executive’s preparedness for meetings (e.g., assemble meeting materials, presentations, preparatory reviews with key stakeholders)
• Handle sensitive correspondence and communications (emails, calls, visitors) on behalf of the Head of Government Relations, prioritizing urgent matters and drafting responses that align with their voice
• Keep priorities on track, align stakeholders, surface blockers early, and simplify decision‑making
• Elevate team operations by simplifying and systematizing processes
• Coordinate travel, ensuring flights, accommodations and itineraries are optimized
• Provide hands‑on assistance with special projects and research tasks as needed
• Maintain the highest level of confidentiality, using discretion and diplomacy in sensitive situations
