Gravitee is seeking an elite, highly proactive Executive Assistant to serve as the critical operational engine behind our top leadership. In this role, you will take primary direction from the CEO, serving as their dedicated right hand while providing critical, coordinated support to our COO.

This is a high-velocity, high-accountability role requiring top-tier operational execution. You will navigate an intense scale-up environment supporting two executives across different primary hubs—the CEO based in London (traveling to the US one week per month) and the COO based in Denver (traveling to London one week per month). Operating with extreme professionalism, discretion, and an ownership mindset, you will bridge time zones, protect strategic focus, and ensure flawless operational continuity under the CEO's guidance.

Strategic Calendar Architecture & "Time Budget" Enforcement

• Calendar Auditing: Treat executive time as a finite investment portfolio. Audit and align meeting requests against company OKRs, actively deflecting low-priority items and ensuring dedicated deep-work blocks.

• Meeting Gatekeeping & Quality Control: Interrogate internal meeting requests to verify clear agendas, desired decision outcomes, and required pre-reads before calendar space is allocated.

Executive Operating Rhythm & Daily Briefings

• Morning Briefing Delivery: Prepare and deliver a daily morning briefing pack (via Slack/document) detailing the day's itinerary, context briefs, attendee profiles, meeting goals, relevant pre-read links, and pending sign-offs.

• Cross-Executive Alignment: Maintain synchronization between the CEO and COO, ensuring shared initiatives, leadership syncs, and overlapping priorities are seamlessly connected, always prioritizing workflow based on the CEO's direction.

• Action Item Tracking: Attend key executive and operational meetings to capture action items, assign ownership in company project management tools, and drive accountability across cross-functional leads.

Global Travel & Operational Logistics

• Complex International Logistics: Architect comprehensive, multi-leg international itineraries (predominantly regular transatlantic rotations between London and the US), managing flights, accommodations, ground transfers, and meeting buffers.

• Real-Time Disruption Management: Provide agile, proactive support for schedule adjustments, flight cancellations, and time-sensitive logistical shifts across UK, US, and European hours.

• High-Impact Personal Admin: Handle ad-hoc personal administrative tasks exclusively when they directly intersect with schedule efficiency, travel continuity, or executive focus.

In-Person & Asynchronous Cadence

• Office Presence: Anchor in-person alignment by working on-site in the London office 3 days per week when the CEO is in London.

• Asynchronous Coverage: Maintain flexible, out-of-hours situational responsiveness across GMT, CET, EST, and MST to support real-time travel changes and critical executive syncs.

Operating Philosophy: The "I Intend To..." Framework

You will operate within a tiered autonomy framework, moving issues forward without requiring hand-holding:

• Tier 1 (Full Autonomy): Declining non-strategic inbound requests, re-sequencing internal 1:1s, booking travel within agreed guidelines, and resolving logistical conflicts.

• Tier 2 ("I Intend To..."): For complex or sensitive decisions, you do not ask "What should I do?" You present the solution: "Context: [X happened]. Proposed Action: I intend to implement Option A by 3:00 PM unless you prefer Option B."

• Tier 3 (Immediate Escalation): Direct consultation on board governance matters, material investor communications, or sensitive executive personnel topics.

Candidate Profile

• High-Growth B2B SaaS Pedigree: Mandatory background supporting C-level executives in a venture-backed, high-growth B2B SaaS company. You understand scale-up velocity, operational rhythms, and ARR-driven priorities.

• Proactive Executive Partner: You instinctively take ownership. You anticipate needs 48 hours in advance, spot scheduling friction before it happens, and operate with relentless follow-through.

• Unshakeable Composure: You excel under pressure, navigate fluid schedules without stress, and maintain calm authority during travel disruptions or tight turnarounds.

• Extreme Professionalism: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, completely free of fluff. Absolute discretion when handling confidential board, investor, and company data.

• Modern Tech Fluency: Expert-level mastery of Google Workspace, Slack, and modern project management suites (e.g., Notion, Asana, Linear). Comfortable utilizing software to automate workflows and minimize administrative overhead.

• Flexibility & Global Agility: Willingness to provide out-of-hours coverage across US and European time zones when urgent situations require it.Who Thrives Here
