Executive Assistant to the CEO
About the role
At Instawork, we’re driven by our vision to create economic opportunity for local businesses and skilled hourly professionals in communities around the world. With a growing number of hub cities across the world in the U.S., Canada, India, and beyond, we’re looking for top talent to help rapidly scale our high-tech and high-touch labor marketplace. Our accomplished and dedicated team is passionate about our mission and committed to crafting revolutionary products, all with the backing of our world-class investors, including Benchmark, Spark Capital, Craft Ventures, Greylock Capital, Y Combinator, and more!
Instawork is seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to provide high-level support to our CEO in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. This is not a typical EA role—our CEO moves quickly, operates globally, and requires a highly capable professional who thrives under pressure, works autonomously, and anticipates needs before they arise.
The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of experience supporting C-suite executives, has worked in a rapidly scaling, high-intensity environment, and possesses the ability to seamlessly manage complex schedules, global coordination, and high-stakes initiatives. This role requires someone who is available and responsive across time zones, with a 24/7 mindset when needed to ensure business continuity.
You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, Executive Leadership, and external partners, playing a critical role in optimizing the CEO’s time, priorities, and execution. Beyond core administrative support, you will also take ownership of strategic initiatives, internal and external events, and high-priority projects that impact the company at large.
**What you’ll do: **
- Manage a high-volume, constantly shifting global calendar with precision, ensuring seamless coordination across time zones.
- Anticipate and resolve scheduling conflicts proactively, optimizing the CEO’s time and priorities.
- Coordinate and facilitate C-level and board meetings, handling all scheduling, logistics, and preparation.
