About Gravity

About the Role

We are seeking a world-class Executive Assistant who operates several steps ahead, communicates with clarity and urgency, and brings exceptional foresight to a fast-moving environment. This role directly supports the CEO across business and personal domains and acts as a stabilizing force that ensures his time, priorities, and obligations are fully optimized.

This is not a “tasks-only” role—this is a high-autonomy, high-trust partnership. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, anticipates needs before they are spoken, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

On-site presence is required whenever the CEO is on-site.
This may be anywhere from 5 days per week to 2 days per week, depending on his schedule. On days when the CEO is working remotely or traveling, your work can be performed off-site. Flexibility and availability are essential.

If you bring elite coordination skills, judgment you can’t teach, and a calm, direct communication style—this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Executive Support (CEO)

  • Manage and optimize the CEO’s calendar, priorities, inbox, and daily flow—ensuring he is always prepared and running ahead of schedule.
  • Anticipate needs before they arise; identify gaps, risks, and follow-ups without being asked.
  • Communicate proactively, clearly, and consistently—never leaving open loops.
  • Serve as the CEO’s operational anchor: scheduling, travel planning, logistics, document prep, and deadline tracking.
  • Coordinate offsites, retreats, and internal team gatherings with precision and polish.
  • Keep information moving across the organization while maintaining strict confidentiality.

Personal Coordination

  • Plan and oversee all travel for the CEO’s, including accommodations, itineraries, calendar management, and mid-trip communication.
  • Act as the main point of contact while traveling—ensuring he has what he needs and that home logistics are handled seamlessly.
  • Oversee and coordinate schedules, transportation, activities, and commitments.
  • Ensure household, personal, and logistical matters are proactively addressed so the family can focus on what matters most.

Operational & Communication Excellence

  • Serve as a central hub for communication—filtering noise, escalating only what matters, and ensuring fast, accurate information flow.
  • Translate ambiguity into actionable plans with clear deadlines.
  • Build systems, processes, and checklists that keep everything running smoothly.
  • Maintain a calm presence and solution-oriented mindset in fast-paced, high-pressure situations.

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years supporting a C-suite executive (startup, private equity, venture-backed, or high-intensity environment preferred).
  • Proven experience owning complex travel schedules, high-volume calendars, and personal/executive support.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Flawless judgment, maturity, and discretion—handling confidential matters with care.
  • Ability to manage multiple competing priorities without dropping details.
  • Highly self-driven; thrives in high-autonomy roles with limited instruction.
  • Tech-savvy across modern tools and AI

About you

  • You think five steps ahead—preventing problems before anyone knows they exist.
  • You rarely need to be told something twice; you build reliable systems and habits.
  • You communicate directly, professionally, and efficiently.
  • You stay composed and positive, even when priorities shift or tension rises.
  • You make the CEO’s life easier by default—not by instruction.
  • You have extreme common sense
  • You are proactive to the point of being anticipatory
