• Coordinate and prepare materials for executive meetings, ensuring the President and CTO is well-prepared and informed
• Provide strategic, sophisticated calendar management based on a strong understanding of key priorities and objectives, and proactively identify and resolve emerging conflicts
• Schedule high-volume of meetings and events, along with handling sophisticated and constantly evolving travel itineraries with a customer-service mentality
• Assist with agenda development for leadership meetings and with follow-up tracking
• Attend meetings and take detailed notes and action items on highly sophisticated and often technical topics
• Plan and coordinate quarterly retreats and team-building offsites

• Ability to work in-person alongside the President and CTO in our SoMa office based on his schedule (on average 3x/week; sometimes more or less depending on the week)

• Able to handle sensitive information with the utmost confidentiality and discretion
• Creative problem solving abilities, constantly thinking creatively
• Experience building strong working relationships with vital team members
• Acute attention to detail
• Excellent time and project management skills
