The Executive Business Partner will support the CEO across both business and personal priorities. This person will manage time, meetings, communications, follow-ups, travel, personal administration, key relationships, and the flow of information across the organization.
The ideal candidate is highly organized, resourceful, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift quickly. They should be able to attend meetings, capture action items, follow up with leaders, prepare decision points, and ensure the CEO is spending time only where he is truly needed.
The goal of this role is simple: help the CEO get time back and operate with more leverage.
You will manage the CEO’s calendar with judgment, not just scheduling meetings, but understanding what deserves time and attention.
Responsibilities include:
You will proactively manage the CEO’s inbox and reduce the amount of work requiring direct CEO involvement.
Responsibilities include:
This is one of the most important parts of the role. You will attend key meetings, capture decisions and action items, and ensure commitments turn into completed outcomes.
Responsibilities include:
A key part of the role is helping ensure information from customer, partner, investor, employee, and leadership conversations reaches the right people and turns into action.
This includes:
You will help the CEO move faster by turning complexity into clarity.
Responsibilities include:
You should constantly be thinking several steps ahead.
Responsibilities include:
You will own business and personal travel planning with a high level of detail and quality.
Responsibilities include:
This role includes some personal support and administration around personal calendaring and tasks where it unlocks the CEO's time.
In this role, success means the CEO feels a meaningful difference in day-to-day operations.
You are successful if:
You are not just an administrator. You are a high-judgment operator who creates order, leverage, and momentum.
You are likely a strong fit if you are:
This role requires deep trust with the CEO. You will need to understand how the CEO thinks, what can be delegated, what requires escalation, and how to create leverage without adding complexity.
The best person for this role takes ownership, communicates clearly, follows through relentlessly, and is energized by helping a CEO and company move faster.
You should be comfortable operating with significant autonomy, making judgment calls, following up with senior leaders, and solving problems before they reach the CEO.
The CEO’s time is one of the company’s most valuable resources. This role exists to help protect that time and ensure it is spent where the CEO can have the greatest impact.
The right person will make the CEO, leadership team, and company more effective by creating more clarity, stronger follow-through, fewer dropped balls, and less unnecessary friction.
This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who wants to be much more than an assistant. It is for someone who wants to be a true partner in helping a CEO operate at his best.
