Special Projects Assistant to the CEO

This is an in-office role in Pittsburgh, PA.

We are looking for an Special Projects Assistant to the CEO, to measure, track, and report on a range of different projects within the company.

You have to be organized, willing to jump into any situation, write and speak fluently, and execute at the CEO's level and pace daily. Nothing should be beneath you. Nothing should be above your reach. Your duties will vary daily, and your responsibilities will grow, as you find your feet. Your work will involve fighting fires, putting them out, and being able to maintain multiple workstreams of action without dropping the ball.

The ideal candidate is an independent thinker, independent learner (absorbs technical concepts quickly), thrives under pressure and pace (even relishes it), thrives under significant responsibility, and and can start making a difference within a week of starting the role.
