About The Position

Ando is building AI-native workforce infrastructure for the 80M hourly workers in the U.S. and hundreds of millions globally. Labor is the last broken supply chain. Forecasting, allocation, and professional identity remain fragmented across static tools and manual decision-making. Ando is rebuilding this system from first principles. We start with highly accurate AI-generated demand forecasts, move to allocation-first labor optimization, and compound value through a persistent labor graph that captures skills, reliability, availability, and performance across time and employers. Over time, this becomes a professional identity layer and intelligent system serving both enterprises and frontline workers. Ando is a Seed-stage company backed by Slow Ventures and experienced operators. We are live with real customers and entering a phase where architectural clarity, learning loops, and AI systems quality are foundational to long-term success. Ando is hiring an Executive Assistant to work directly alongside our Founder & CEO. This is the right-hand seat: a high-trust role for someone who wants to operate close to the center of an early-stage company and grow with it. The core of the role is keeping the CEO operating at full capacity. You will manage his calendar, coordinate his travel, protect his time, and absorb the work that would otherwise slow him down. It is hands-on work, and doing it exceptionally well is what earns the trust the rest of the role is built on. What sets this role apart is where it leads. As you establish yourself, you will partner with the leadership team on special projects and take on work in areas such as revenue operations and customer engagement. The right person is glad to handle the day-to-day and equally motivated to own more over time. For someone who wants to define their own path at a fast-growing company, there is considerable room to grow. You will represent the CEO and the company in nearly everything you do, with the team, with customers, with investors, and beyond. That requires judgment, discretion, and a high degree of emotional intelligence.
