Executive Assistant to the CEO

REQUIREMENTS

Must-haves

• ⚖️ Prioritization under pressure: You have a clear system for managing competing demands: a real framework for what moves, what waits, and what Jan never needs to see.
• 🛡️ Protective of the CEO's time: You're comfortable saying no to VPs, board members, and external stakeholders, and you know how to hold the line without burning a relationship.
• 📋 Board and stakeholder coordination: You've coordinated with senior stakeholders or board-level EAs and know what precision means at that level.
• 🔍 Attention to detail: You notice things others miss (time zone conflicts, itinerary gaps, a meeting that should never have been booked) and act without being asked.
• 🤖 Automation curiosity: You actively experiment with AI and automation tools to improve how you work, not just in theory.
• 🎯 Low ego, high judgment: You're direct, you don't waffle, and you're comfortable working with a founder who is self-sufficient and won't ask you twice.

Nice-to-haves

• 📐 Notion: If you don't use it yet, you'll pick it up fast if needed, but an eye for structure and formatting matters from day one.
• ⚡ Hands-on automation experience: You've built workflows in n8n, Zapier, Make, or similar tools, and you'd jump at the chance to automate parts of this role.
• 🎪 Event coordination: You've run or supported company events and offsites and know the logistics.
