We’re a fast-growing SaaS startup that recently closed our Series A and are scaling quickly. We provide critical infrastructure and services that help major enterprise digital product organizations stand up sustainable and scalable digital production operations. With a lean, high-performing team of 20, on our way to 30, we’re building something ambitious—and having fun doing it.
About the Role:
We’re looking for a sharp, proactive Part-Time Executive Assistant to support five members of our executive team (90% CEO support) across both work and personal tasks. You’ll be the connective tissue that helps our leadership team stay focused, organized, and a step ahead in a busy, high-growth environment. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives on variety, loves making things run smoothly, and knows how to get things done behind the scenes.
What You’ll Do:
Executive Support
• Help manage to-do lists that are falling through the cracks such as: make a meeting happen, send a follow up e-mail, help clean out e-mail backlog
• Coordinate meetings, Zooms, and in-person logistics (when applicable)
• Handle travel bookings, itineraries, and expense reports
• Manage follow-ups, prep materials, and light communications
• Manage follow-ups, prep materials, and light communications
Project & Operational Support

• Help with vendor coordination, light research, or internal docs
• Social media posting and scheduling for CEO
Personal Assistance
• Make personal appointments and reservations (dining, health, travel)
• Coordinate home services or deliveries
• Assist with gifting, errands, or special occasions
Who You Are:
- 3+ years of experience supporting executives in fast-paced environments
- Extremely organized, detail-obsessed, and able to juggle competing priorities
- Clear and professional communicator (written + verbal)
- Tech-savvy: comfortable with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion, etc.
- High trust: you handle sensitive information with discretion and maturity
- Comfortable working independently and managing your own time
- Startup experience or supporting multiple leaders at once is a big plus
- Flexibility with working hours
- Quickbooks experience is a plus
- While the position is mostly remote, candidate must live around the Portland, OR area for occasional in-person assistance.
Compensation:
$35/hr + opportunity to grow with us. This position will start as a part time contractor, but may grow into a FTE role. We are new to working with an EA and are unsure how much of your time we may require. Flexibility is key.
