About The Position

At Drata, we help companies earn and keep the trust of their users, customers, partners, and prospects, acting as the proof layer for building trust. The company lives by values such as consistency, integrity, customer-obsession, competitive fire, diversity, and automation-first. Drata fosters a culture of ownership, speed, and being mission-driven, operating with a thoughtful hybrid model that balances flexibility and collaboration. As an Executive Assistant, you will be a critical enabler for Drata’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT), ensuring leaders’ time, priorities, and communications align with the company’s most important initiatives. This role involves anticipating needs, removing friction, and creating leverage so executives can focus on strategy, customers, and teams. You will provide high-touch, proactive support to the CRO and CMO, acting as a trusted partner and extension of their leadership style, and help orchestrate the rhythm of the business for these leaders, increasing transparency, communication, and alignment across teams.
