Executive Assistant to the CEO

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT ROLE:

As the Executive Assistant to the CEO of Klatch, you’ll be the right hand of a seasoned founder and help execute on numerous aspects critical to a fast paced, rapidly growing disruptive education technology startup!

NOTE: We are open to considering non-traditional professional backgrounds. This is a high functioning Executive Assistant and not an administrative assistant role. You will be a confidant and be exposed to just about anything & everything! You should have the ability to handle everything from administrative functions to weigh in on strategic ones, project management, product development, & marketing at times. Given the CEOs hours, you should be able to work 50-60hr/wk jobs (remote). You will share in equity upside.

ABOUT US:

Klatch has built the model for live, interactive group workshops for adults to learn nearly any topic from anywhere in the world. We believe lifelong learning is inherently social, not one-way pre-recorded hours of laborious videos. Our platform and model offers expert-led, community-based social learning. We enable experts across nearly any topic to stimulate an engaging classroom through an integrated cohort-based platform, social tools, and best in class facilitator training. We have no small dreams. We are on the path to transforming the world of adult education and have the experienced team and resources to do it. If you get excited by being part of a small team on the frontlines of disruption, Klatch might be the place for you!

• You love structuring the unstructured & open-ended problems.
• You are highly organized and can keep the CEO and team on task with its timelines.

• You leave your ego at the door, own your mistakes, and are solutions-focused.
• You can work effectively remotely on your own and with a team over video calls.
• You crave and inherently create structure everywhere you go.

ROLE REQUIREMENTS:

• 2-5+ years professional work required, more experience preferred but open to alternative levels of experience

• Superior organizational capabilities (you quickly take notes, determine next steps, and sum up and delegate meeting to-dos and make sure everyone is on track)
• Experience in setting KPIs and OKRs is valuable
• Familiarity with HR is useful but not required: recruiting, benefits/payroll, legal

YOUR DAY TO DAY:

As the Executive Assistant to the CEO you will be entrusted with an incredible amount of responsibility on company-critical initiatives. As the right hand to the founder & CEO, you’ll essentially be an extension of him, helping to take administrative, operations, project management, and coaching of executives, etc off his plate. You may often be asked to take point on project management on a wide variety of company initiatives, coordinate other team leaders, manage and check in with interns or employees. You should be a fast typer and be able to quickly take notes in 1-on-1 and team meetings and delegate action items to the appropriate members using our project management software, Asana. Adding structure is key in everything you do and you should have a knack for doing this and a background demonstrative of it. You may also call or cold email individuals to meet with the CEO or join in business meetings and be responsible for working out details with the relevant parties.

You should be able and willing to jump into just about anything; no task is too small. At the same time, you should be a thought partner to the CEO and be able to think strategically and calmly given a startup's rapidly changing priorities. If you’re an extremely talented, highly structured, ambitious individual who is eager to learn and make a big positive impact doing it, this role might be for you!

WHY US:
