You’ll be a senior member of the CEO Office, with the authority to decide which meetings, events and requests make it onto his agenda.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the CEO’s agenda and priorities. You’ll decide which meetings, events and requests he takes on based on company priorities, and escalate only the hardest calls.
  • Triage inbound requests such as speaking invitations, events, and approaches from partners and investors, and put forward clear recommendations.
  • Brief the CEO before key meetings with the context, the objectives and the points he needs to land.
  • Act as the CEO’s point of contact for investors, partners and the leadership team, representing him with judgement and discretion.
  • Manage the CEO’s inbox and complex international travel so he can stay focused on what matters most.

Requirements:

  • 6+ years supporting C-level executives, ideally a founder or CEO in a fast-growing tech company or startup.
  • A strong sense of business priorities: you can judge whether an activity matters and defend that call to senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, including concise executive briefs.
  • Complete discretion with confidential information, including fundraising and investor matters.
  • High autonomy and ownership: you anticipate needs before they’re raised.
  • Fluent in English and French (spoken & written).
  • An entrepreneurial mindset and comfort with ambiguity and changing priorities.
  • Available within 4 weeks.

Location:
