Executive Assistant to the CEO — Fast-growing AI Startup
About the company
Our client is one of the most promising AI startups of the moment. Founded by a serial entrepreneur who previously built a SaaS company from scratch into a multi-billion-dollar business, it is building core infrastructure for the AI agent economy.
- $30M+ raised before Series A, from top-tier US and European VCs
- Valued at over $100M within its first year
- Teams in London, Barcelona and the US
- A small, ambitious, high-calibre team working directly with the founders
The role
This is not a classic EA role. We’re looking for the CEO’s right hand: someone who will own his calendar and inbox end to end, and who will also understand everything on his plate and redesign how it runs, building the systems, tools and routines that keep him focused on the company.
What you’ll do
- Be the CEO’s operating system: calendar, inbox, travel, three time zones, zero dropped balls
- Walk into every meeting one step ahead of him, with the brief ready and the follow-up already chased
- Guard his time like it’s the company’s most valuable asset, because it is
- Find what slows him down, and fix it: systems, automations, AI, whatever works
- Handle the confidential, the urgent and the personal with total discretion
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years as an EA, including real time next to a founder or CEO in a startup or scale-up
- You’ve built things, not just run them
- Flawless written English: you can write as him, not just for him
- Calm when everything changes at 11pm
- Barcelona or London, with the right to work there
Nice to have
- Experience supporting investor relations or board processes
- Spanish (for Barcelona)
What’s on offer
- Competitive salary and equity
- Private health insurance
- A front-row seat at the very start of a company with exceptional momentum, and real room to grow
- Some flexibility on hours is needed to cover US time zones, and there is occasional travel between London and Barcelona
Hiring process
