In this role you will:
- Fully support our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Strategic planning and prioritization to make the best use of their time, scheduling, off-loading key administrative tasks
- Schedule and re-schedule meetings for extremely busy calendars that involve events, press, various time zones, and complex travel. You will optimize calendars like a whiz
- Plan and organize travel and meetings for the leadership team as a whole

- A gifted communicator via e-mail, phone, in-person, and slack. You'll be in contact with our many external stakeholders, our leadership team, and teams across the organization
- Technologically savvy. We live online, and use cloud-based everything
- A team player, but also a strong individual contributor who is coachable and open-minded
- Calm under pressure. Start-up life is hectic, but you are cool as a cucumber, despite being pinged, called and tapped on the shoulder all day, every day
