Series A robotics startup building autonomous systems for critical infrastructure is looking for an Executive Assistant to support their founding team, with a primary focus on a Co-Founder. In this role, you'll own calendar and scheduling across multiple execs, coordinate travel for a team that's frequently on the road, and help plan and execute team events and offsites.

• Act as a trusted, discreet extension of the team, respecting sensitive information and clear boundaries at all times.
• Take on light people-ops support as the company scales, with room to grow into additional scope over time.
