turbopuffer is looking for an executive assistant to support our CTO and handle ops in our NYC hub. We're scaling fast and need someone who can take the operational load off his plate. We are looking for someone based in NYC to work hybrid in our office downtown with occasional travel to Ottawa and SF.
what you'll do:
- run point on the CTO's calendar, travel, and inbox
- manage a high volume schedule across time zones and competing priorities
- plan travel end-to-end: flights, hotels, ground, and itineraries
- triage his inbox so nothing important slips by
- partner with the CEO's EA on cross company work
- evolve new hire onboarding process
- plan events like customer dinners and company offsites
- manage ops for the NYC office
must have:
- coordination
- you've worked as an EA, chief of staff, or in a similar operations role
- you've managed calendars, inboxes, and travel for senior people at high volume
- you can juggle multiple senior stakeholders and competing priorities without dropping the ball
- judgment: you catch the things others miss
- operator: you see the gap and fill it, no task is too small
- typist: you write well and can represent the CTO clearly in any thread
- human: you build trust quickly
nice to have:
- prior experience supporting a technical founder or engineering leader
- experience at an early stage startup
values we live by:
- overstep > understep
- correctness > simplicity > performance
- customer traces > first principles > hunches
- show > tell
