At GumGum, we move fast, innovate constantly, and push boundaries. We are looking for an exceptionally sharp, proactive, and adaptable Executive Assistant to serve as a critical force multiplier for our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In this role, you won't just manage schedules—you’ll drive strategic and comprehensive support across the office of the CEO and CRO. You will handle a dynamic mix of responsibilities, ranging from core administrative operational foundation (calendaring, complex travel, expenses) to high-level strategic alignment (stakeholder management, event planning, drafting executive communications, and market research compilation). Additionally, you will assist with key personal tasks to optimize the CEO's & CRO’s time and ensure leadership can focus on scaling the business. We need a fast learner who natively thinks 10 steps ahead, operates autonomously, and balances razor-sharp execution with high emotional intelligence and total discretion.
