Executive Assistant
About The Position
You will run the operating rhythm for one of Parallel's founders — owning their calendar, travel, and inbox not as scheduling but as a filter for where their time and attention go. You'll sit in the room for high-stakes meetings, track follow-ups across sales, hiring, and product, and make sure nothing the founder commits to falls through. You'll draft communications, prep board and investor materials, and represent the founder's priorities to the rest of the company when they're not in the room. As Parallel scales, you'll build the systems — meeting cadences, decision logs, follow-up tracking — that let one founder operate like ten.
