Executive Assistant

Fluidstack•Austin, TX

16d•$165,000 - $240,000

About The Position

Fluidstack's leadership team is growing, and so is the coordination overhead that comes with it. This role exists to give executives back the bandwidth currently absorbed by scheduling, logistics, and communication triage, so they can focus on the decisions that matter most. You will provide high-leverage, thoughtful support to Fluidstack leadership by owning calendar management, travel logistics, meeting preparation, and communication triage. The goal is to free up executive bandwidth currently absorbed by coordination work and to do it with the kind of care and attention that makes leaders genuinely more effective. This is a shared-services model with dedicated coverage at the exec level. You will work closely with other EAs to ensure continuity and coverage across the leadership team. The best EA teams nurture each other; we expect the same here. The role is not administrative busywork. You’re a force multiplier: anticipating needs, removing friction, and ensuring executives spend their time on the work that matters most.

Requirements

Intense curiosity about how leaders work and what makes them most effective.
Kindness and thoughtfulness in how you interact with everyone: executives, their teams, and external partners alike.
Clarity, approachability, and precision in communication. When you send a message on behalf of an executive, it reflects their voice and standards.
Deep care about the craft of support work. You take pride in the quality of what you do, even when no one sees it.
You have supported senior leaders before and understand what it means to manage someone’s time as carefully as they would themselves.
You exercise judgment about what matters, what can wait, and what to escalate. You don’t treat every request as equal priority.
You’re highly organized and reliable. Things don’t slip through the cracks.
Demonstrated experience in executive support. We’re not looking for a specific number of years, we’re looking for evidence that you’ve done this well.
Candidates from operations, customer success, event management, chief of staff roles, or any background where managing complex logistics and stakeholder priorities were core to the work.

Nice To Haves

Experience supporting C-suite or founders at a growth-stage company.
Comfort working across time zones and with distributed teams.
A track record of building EA systems (templates, SOPs, coordination tools) that scale beyond individual relationships.

Responsibilities

Complete onboarding and shadow your assigned executive(s) to understand priorities, preferences, and communication style.
Take over calendar management: learn recurring commitments, meeting cadences, and scheduling principles.
Map the executive’s key relationships and recurring touchpoints so you can start anticipating needs.
Establish a working rhythm with your executive(s): how you communicate, what requires approval vs. what you can handle independently.
Own all scheduling, travel, and logistics end-to-end with minimal oversight.
Coordinate with other EAs to ensure coverage, prevent conflicts, and share institutional knowledge.
Begin managing meeting preparation: agendas, pre-reads, follow-up actions.
Proactively flag scheduling conflicts, overloaded weeks, or gaps in the calendar before they become problems.
Your executive trusts you to manage their time and logistics without hand-holding.
You have a clear system for prioritization, communication triage, and escalation.
You’ve identified at least one process or system improvement that makes the EA function more effective across the team.
