Executive Assistant to the CEO

Cogent Security • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We're hiring an Executive Assistant to the CEO to own the operations behind our CEO and Field CISO so their time goes where it has the most impact: customers, candidates, and building the company. You'll be their partner in running the week, planning ahead and keeping every commitment on track, with the trust to make calls on your own.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, ideally supporting a CEO or founder
• Background at a venture-backed startup or a venture capital firm
• You've done this job before and can run on day one: you anticipate what the CEO needs and act on it before being asked
• Advanced calendar and inbox management, with the judgment to decide what gets time and what gets declined
• Strong project management skills - you keep several workstreams tracked and moving at once
• Poise with customers and executives, and comfort being the first person a Fortune 500 security leader meets at Cogent
• Discretion with confidential information

Nice To Haves

• Experience supporting more than one executive at a time
• Experience coordinating recruiting logistics or candidate interviews
• Experience at a Series A-C company during a period of fast headcount growth

Responsibilities

• Own calendar and email management for both executives end to end, from triaging inbound requests to protecting focus time across time zones
• Coordinate their weeks: prep for meetings and follow up on action items until they're done
• Run logistics for critical meetings, including candidate conversations with our CEO
• Host customers, investors, and candidates visiting our San Francisco office, and serve as the first point of contact for the CEO's office
• Handle the day-to-day logistics for leadership, including travel and team meals through Forkable
