We're looking for mission-driven builders who thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, and embody our four core values: - Care first: We do whatever it takes for our students to succeed. - Learn quickly: We test, learn with data, and iterate. - Build together: We win when we rely on each other. - Own it: We show up, take initiative, and show pride.

The opportunity: As we prepare for our next phase of growth, we're hiring an experienced Senior Executive Assistant to be the operational backbone of our executive team. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy role for someone who anticipates needs before they're voiced, protects our leaders' time, and keeps the details moving so the business can move faster.

This role reports directly to the CEO and additionally supports our Co-Founder while working closely with the executive team, Chief of Staff, and People and Operations across the organization.

What you'll bring: - 6+ years of executive assistant or administrative experience, including direct support of C-level leaders. - Proven ability to manage complex calendars, travel, and logistics in a fast-moving environment. - Exceptional organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail-nothing slips through the cracks. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with sound judgment about tone and audience. - Discretion and integrity when handling confidential and sensitive information. - A proactive, resourceful mindset-you anticipate needs, solve problems independently, and thrive amid ambiguity and shifting priorities. - Fluency with modern productivity tools (Google Workspace, Slack, and expense/travel platforms).

Bonus points if: - You've worked in EdTech, healthcare, or another mission-driven industry. - You've supported a founder or CEO at a high-growth startup. Interview Process: - Introductory call with Talent Acquisition team member - Interview with Hiring Manager - Take-Home Assignment - Virtual Panel Interview - On-Site Panel Interview Benefits and
