About the Role

We’re hiring an Executive Operations Associate to provide high-level support to our leadership team while driving coordination across key commercial initiatives. This role combines core Executive Assistant responsibilities—like calendar management, travel, and meeting logistics—with project coordination and cross-functional collaboration. Reporting to the Director of Operations, you’ll be the force behind seamless executive scheduling, travel, and board coordination, while also contributing meaningfully to go-to-market programs, event execution, and stakeholder engagement. You’ll work closely with senior leaders across Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, and Partnerships—earning a front-row seat to strategic decision-making and leadership operations. This is more than a support role—it’s a launchpad. For someone ready to take ownership, move fast, and grow into a more strategic operator, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

Responsibilities:

• Executive Support & Calendar Management:
• Manage complex calendars for senior leaders, ensuring alignment with company priorities and minimizing scheduling conflicts.
• Coordinate travel, agendas, and logistics for executive roadshows, internal summits, and customer events.
• Serve as the point of contact for high-touch executive engagements, including customer dinners, investor meetings, and partner visits.
• Board and Meeting Coordination:
• Own logistics for quarterly Board meetings: prepare and distribute agendas and materials, track executive prep, and coordinate related events.
• Support internal meeting planning for strategic sessions such as leadership offsites, quarterly planning, and functional reviews.
• Cross-Functional & Project Support
• Track deliverables and milestones for key GTM initiatives such as product launches, field events, and campaign rollouts.
• Maintain shared documentation including project trackers, decision logs, calendar cadences, and team briefings to ensure continuity and accountability.
• Act as a connector across Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, and Partnerships to ensure executive involvement is timely and impactful.
• Event Logistics
• Collaborate with Marketing to coordinate executive participation in customer activations, conferences, and internal events.
• Track pre- and post-event needs such as briefings, materials, follow-ups, and engagement outcomes.

What You Bring:

• 2–4 years in project management, executive operations, or event logistics, ideally in a B2B SaaS or professional services (finance, legal, etc.) environment.
• Demonstrated ability to support senior leaders with discretion, professionalism, and urgency.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Understanding of how commercial teams (sales, marketing, partnerships, customer experience) operate and interact.
• Excellent communication and follow-through, with a proactive mindset and strong attention to detail.
• Bonus: experience supporting revenue or marketing leaders in a high-growth company.

What Success Looks Like:

• Executive schedules run smoothly, with strategic priorities well-supported and interruptions minimized.
• Internal and external meetings, events, and engagements are executed flawlessly and aligned to business outcomes.
• Cross-functional initiatives move forward efficiently because you ensure deliverables are clear, timelines are tracked, and blockers are escalated early.
• Leaders can focus on strategic work because logistics, coordination, and communication are fully handled.
