About The Position

incident.io is the leading AI incident response platform, built to help teams dramatically reduce incident response time and improve reliability. We bring together on-call, incident response, AI SRE, and status pages in a single platform, giving teams everything they need to respond quickly, reduce downtime, and keep customers in the loop. Since launching in 2021, we’ve helped over 1,500 companies, including Netflix, Airbnb, and Block, run more than 500,000 incidents. Every month, tens of thousands of responders across Engineering, Product, and Support use incident.io to restore services faster, stay aligned under pressure, and focus on building what matters. We’re a fast-growing, highly ambitious team that cares deeply about our customers, product quality, and making it magic. We’ve raised $100M from Index Ventures, Insight Partners, and Point Nine, alongside founders and executives from world-class technology companies. You lay the train tracks in front of Chris. You predict what he needs before he asks. And you help to keep our SF office running. This is an EA role supporting Chris, our Co-Founder and Field CTO. You'll also be working across other executives based in SF, and you'll be the go-to person for keeping the office running smoothly. You'll be in the office 3-4 days a week. The whole team is in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. You're the physical, human layer around one of the busiest people in the company: protecting his time, reading context, and making high-judgement calls in real time. The role is varied. One day you're coordinating a team offsite, the next you're pulling together slides for a big presentation. You might be helping the People team on the ground in SF, or picking up scheduling across the SF leadership team. We’re big believers in AI, and you’ll have access to the best tools. We expect you to know when to use them, when to step in yourself, and what great quality looks like. What AI can’t do is read the room, build relationships, or spot a problem before it lands. That’s where you come in.

Requirements

Judgement and anticipation. Can you read a situation and make the right call without being told?
Discretion. You'll handle sensitive information: board matters, personnel decisions, strategy.
No fluff. Direct communication. You drive things and make them happen.
Pace. This is a fast environment. We move quickly.
High energy. The role is demanding. The right person finds that energising.
Coachability. You take feedback well and adapt fast.

Responsibilities

Diary and logistics. Owning Chris’s calendar, travel, and day-to-day logistics. Coordinating across Chris, Tom, Mohit, and other SF leaders. Making sure the right things happen at the right time, and stepping in early when something’s about to break.
Team offsites and events. Planning and running team offsites and internal events. Turning rough ideas into well-run, high-quality experiences.
Information triage. There’s a constant stream of information. Your job is to filter it, decide what matters, and make sure Chris sees what he needs to see, at the right moment.
Preparation and output. Turning rough ideas into something usable. Prepping for all-hands, building slides, shaping notes into clear documents, and making sure important moments are well prepared.
Office ownership. Owning how the SF office runs day to day. Keeping the space ready, solving problems as they come up, and making sure nothing quietly degrades over time.
People. Getting to know the incident.io team and acting as eyes and ears across the business. Welcoming customers, investors, and visitors. Building relationships, understanding who matters most, and helping Chris stay connected to the right people.
