Executive Assistant, CEO

About Clark Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy. We're starting with audit and accounting workflows—high-trust environments where reliability, accuracy, and security matter as much as productivity. Our platform helps firms automate complex workflows, deploy AI safely, and modernize how audit teams operate. We're building a category-defining company at the intersection of AI, audit, and enterprise trust. 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. This is a high-trust role for someone who is organized, discreet, proactive, and excited to work directly with the CEO of a fast-moving AI company. Why This Role Matters Clark is entering a phase where the company is scaling across engineering, AI, product, sales, customer success, audit domain expertise, infrastructure, and marketing. As the company grows, the CEO’s time becomes one of Clark’s most important resources. The EA to the CEO will protect that time, create operating leverage, and ensure important priorities do not fall through the cracks.
