- Experience supporting an executive with access to highly sensitive information (ideally a CHRO, CFO, CLO, or comparable role)
- Ability to perform this role in-person in our Oakland office every Tuesday, with willingness to be present in-person for other key moments (Board meetings, leadership team onsites, etc)
- Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and other key tools for managing work in a distributed global environment
