What we’re looking for
This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact role at the center of a rapidly scaling company. You will work alongside the CEO, gain exposure to all aspects of the business, and play a critical role in shaping the company’s operations and strategy.
We’re looking for a highly capable Executive Assistant to support our CEO in managing both strategic and administrative responsibilities. This is not a traditional EA role—this person will act as the CEO’s right hand, anticipating needs before they arise, ensuring seamless operations, and enabling the CEO to focus on high-impact priorities.
If you thrive in high-growth startup environments, work with speed and precision, and enjoy taking ownership of complex tasks while driving efficiency, this role is for you.
Responsibilities
- Act as the CEO’s strategic partner and “shadow” – Understand company priorities, anticipate needs before they arise, and execute tasks with speed and precision.
- Calendar & Scheduling – Manage and coordinate meetings, optimize time allocation, prepare meeting agendas and ensure the CEO’s schedule runs smoothly.
- Meetings & Operations - Attend meetings, take detailed minutes, and ensure follow-up on action items.
- Communication & Email Management – Handle correspondence on behalf of the CEO, draft responses, and maintain alignment across teams.
- Reports & Documentation – Prepare presentations, reports, and key business documents.
- Special Projects – Oversee select strategic initiatives, manage administrative workflows, and ensure smooth execution.
- Personal Assistance – Occasionally handle personal errands and tasks that help free up the CEO’s focus.
Gatekeeping & Prioritization - Serve as a trusted filter for incoming requests, protecting the CEO’s time by prioritizing what requires his attention and what can be delegated.
Requirements
- Must have at least 2 years of prior experience as an EA to a founder or startup executive.
- Background in law, consulting, or data analysis is a big plus!
- Proactive, detail-oriented, highly organized, and a strong problem-solver. Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to multitask effectively.
- High level of commitment, flexibility, and ability to support the CEO whenever needed.
- Quick learner, strong analytical mindset, excellent communicator, and thrives in ambiguity.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Hebrew and English.
