Executive Assistant, CEO

The Role

We are hiring an EA to the CEO to become the CEO’s operational leverage across scheduling, communication, company rhythm, recruiting, investors, customers, and day-to-day execution.

This person will help the CEO move faster, stay focused, and operate with more clarity as Clark scales. You will own calendar management, meeting preparation, follow-through, internal coordination, travel, and special projects that keep the company moving.
