Are you a resourceful and organized professional ready to make a direct impact at the highest level? We're seeking an Executive Personal Assistant to support our CEO in amplifying his productivity, both personally and professionally. Based in Menlo Park, CA, this role provides an exciting opportunity to work closely with the CEO, gaining a deep understanding of his routines, priorities, and approach to leadership.

In this dynamic, hands-on environment, you'll bring your initiative and problem-solving skills to anticipate needs and tackle challenges confidently, even in evolving and ambiguous situations. You're energized by improving processes, streamlining tasks, and making decisions that allow the CEO to focus on his vision and highest priorities.
