Job Description
Y Combinator is looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to work directly with two General Partners. You’ll be responsible for helping manage their calendar, organizing and running events, and using internal YC software to manage communications with our founders and portfolio companies.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter who is comfortable working independently based out of our San Francisco headquarters. This is an amazing opportunity if you’re curious about startups and enjoy learning about how they get started, and would find it interesting to meet the kinds of people who start them.
This is also a unique opportunity to get many of the perks of working for a successful company, a competitive salary, and excellent benefits while working with a small, fast-moving, and high-impact team.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Administrative tasks, including scheduling and calendar management. You’ll help schedule internal and external meetings, preventing conflicts and helping our General Partner use their time efficiently.
-
Plan, execute, and attend events. You’ll be responsible for helping with the logistics of events organized at the YC office and other locations, ranging from 20 people to 500+ people. You must be available to work some evenings and occasionally on weekends. That said, hours are flexible to accommodate time spent outside of standard office hours.
-
Plan, execute, and attend domestic and international college tours, along with your General Partner(s).
