Senior Executive Assistant

Clerk Chat•San Francisco, CA

27d•$130,000 - $180,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Executive Assistant, someone who anticipates needs before they're spoken and thrives in the pace of a high-growth startup, to support leadership at Clerk Chat. You're not just a traditional EA; you're a force multiplier who has operated in fast-moving environments, managed complex priorities, and built systems that scale. You understand that in a startup, context shifts faster than calendars update. You can triage competing priorities without being told which matters most and know exactly when to protect time versus when to interrupt. You don't just manage chaos—you create calm from it.

Requirements

6+ years supporting C-level executives, ideally in a fast-paced tech or startup environment
Proven ability to manage competing priorities and make judgment calls independently in ambiguous situations
Exceptional organizational skills with obsessive attention to detail and follow-through
Strong written and verbal communication—you can draft executive-level correspondence and represent leadership professionally
Tech-savvy and comfortable with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, and CRM systems (Salesforce a plus)
Entrepreneurial mindset—you take ownership, anticipate what's next, and don't wait to be told what to do

Nice To Haves

Experience in B2B SaaS, telecom, or AI-focused companies
Familiarity with early-stage startup environments and comfort with ambiguity
Experience supporting executives through fundraising, board meetings, or M&A processes
Background coordinating across distributed or remote teams

Responsibilities

Move at "founder speed"—anticipate needs, solve problems, and clear obstacles before they slow down leadership
Manage complex, ever-changing calendars across time zones, balancing investor meetings, customer calls, and internal priorities
Own end-to-end travel coordination, board prep, and executive communications with zero dropped balls
Build and optimize operational systems—from expense management to document organization—that scale with the company
Serve as a trusted gatekeeper and liaison between leadership and internal teams, investors, customers, and partners
Handle confidential information with absolute discretion while maintaining strong relationships across stakeholders
Take on special projects that extend beyond traditional EA scope—research, vendor negotiations, event coordination, and more
