Executive Assistant to CEO
About the role
We're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to our CEO. Someone who understands the business, not just the day-to-day, and who's ready to take ownership of his calendar, inbox, travel, and everyone who needs time with him. We want someone who's already done this well for a CEO or senior executive, and is hungry to keep growing their career in a fast-moving, high-growth company.
We're a fully remote, high-trust team that comes together twice a year for off-sites to connect in person. Given the nature of this role, we're prioritizing candidates based in or around Austin, Texas, to allow for in-person time with Chad when needed.
In this role, you will:
Own Chad's calendar end to end, protecting his time and making the call on what actually deserves a spot on it
Manage his inbox with full autonomy: triaging, drafting responses, and flagging what's high priority
Bring a strategic lens to what's on his calendar. Push people to show up prepared, and act as the filter before things land on his desk
Plan and coordinate all of his travel, handling every detail so nothing gets missed
Be the connective tissue between Chad and everyone on the team who needs time with him. You'll know what's urgent, what can wait, and what needs context first
Build and maintain the systems, including AI tools like Claude, that keep you both organized and moving fast
Anticipate what he needs before he has to ask
We're looking for someone who:
Has 5+ years of experience as an executive assistant to a CEO or senior executive, ideally at a high-growth or startup company
Has handled sensitive, highly confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
Knows the business, not just the calendar
Makes sharp calls on priorities with little to no oversight
Has used, or wants to use, AI tools like Claude to stay organized and move fast
Approach to the role:
You're already 10 steps ahead. Nobody has to tell you what's next
You treat sensitive information like it's your own
You move fast with precision
This is a craft to you, not a stepping stone. You take real pride in being great at it

At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package — grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. This role includes a base salary and bonus paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team.
