About The Position

Actively is hiring an Executive Assistant to support our Chief Revenue Officer. This role sits at the center of a high-stakes, high-visibility function — revenue leadership at a fast-scaling company — and requires someone with exceptional discretion, sharp judgment, and the ability to operate with minimal direction in a fast-moving environment. You will support a CRO driving GTM strategy, revenue planning, and cross-functional execution across Sales, Marketing, and RevOps. A core part of this role is active calendar and inbox management — triaging communications, drafting responses, flagging what needs immediate attention, and ensuring nothing of consequence gets missed. The pace is fast, the work is consequential, and the person you support moves quickly. This is a fully dedicated role supporting one executive — you'll own the details so the CRO can stay focused on growing revenue. If you've supported a C-suite leader in a high-growth environment and love bringing order to a fast-moving calendar, this is for you.

Requirements

3+ years as an Executive Assistant supporting C-suite leaders; experience supporting a CRO or other revenue/sales leader is a strong plus.
Experience at a Series B–D (or comparable high-growth) company — you know how to operate when things move fast and change often.
Proven experience managing executive calendars and inboxes — you know how to triage, prioritize, draft, and keep a busy exec's communications under control.
Genuinely strong at deck-building (Google Slides / PowerPoint) and comfortable with modern tools (Slack, [CRM, e.g. "Salesforce"], calendar/scheduling tools, expense platforms).
Excellent written and verbal communication, with sound judgment about what needs the executive's attention and when to escalate.
Highly organized, proactive, and calm under pressure — you anticipate needs before they're asked, and catch what others miss.
High EQ and the ability to build trust quickly with executives who value reliability over personality.
Comfort managing multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously without losing quality.
Demonstrated use of AI or automation to streamline administrative work and increase leverage.

Responsibilities

Own a complex, constantly shifting calendar across time zones — prioritize ruthlessly, protect focus time, and keep the CRO ahead of every commitment. Triage incoming communications, draft responses, flag urgencies, and ensure high-priority items get timely attention.
Track initiatives across the revenue org, keep deadlines and follow-ups moving, and act as a connective point between the CRO and their team, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders.
Build and polish board-ready and internal presentations — turn rough inputs into clean, on-brand slides.
Plan and run logistics for team offsites, customer/prospect events, QBRs, and dinners — end to end.
Manage travel booking and itineraries, expenses, and select personal/lifestyle arrangements to keep work and life running smoothly.
