Executive Assistant to the CEO

Minno is an early-stage, investor-backed media and technology company based in Nashville, Tennessee, focused on making life better for Christian families through media and technology. We’re looking for a remarkable Executive Assistant to help us share the Minno story with others.

Minno was founded in late 2018 by Erick Goss and Dan Raines. Erick and Dan recognized that most Christian parents were frustrated with their media options and were looking for shows and streaming options that reflected their faith and values, designed specifically for kids. With a desire to provide the tools to delight and disciple the next generation of Christians, Minno was born.

Minno serves families through Minno Kids, an ad-free, streaming video app, our children’s book publishing unit, and Minno Life (a parent resource site and home of the Raising Boys & Girls podcast). Our Minno Kids app is one of the leading apps serving Christian families today. Our Minno Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids is the fastest-selling Children’s Bible in Christian publishing history. Our primary revenue driver is Minno Kids, our ad-free streaming video app. Our team is composed of top executives from brand-name e-commerce and content companies.

Minno differentiates itself in three areas:
Kids First: Minno is the only platform focused exclusively on serving Christian kids and their parents. Kids are first-class citizens at Minno, not just a secondary design consideration.
Faith first: We focus on faith development vs. just entertainment. We are the only platform focused on bringing the best of media, technology, and spirituality together.
Transmedia, not just screens: Parents are looking for more than redemptive screen time. They seek off-screen experiences for their kids and better resources for themselves. We are unique in our effort to address this need.

The Executive Assistant will support the CEO/Co-founder in a one-on-one working relationship. The Executive Assistant serves as the primary point of contact for internal and external relationships; as a liaison to the board of directors and executive team; organizes and coordinates outreach and external relations efforts; and oversees special projects. 

The right person must be resourceful and enjoy working within a small, entrepreneurial environment that is mission-led, results-driven, and community-oriented. The ideal individual will be able to exercise sound judgment in various situations, with strong written and verbal communication, administrative and organizational skills, and maintain a realistic balance among multiple priorities.

Responsibilities include:

• Planning, coordinating, and safeguarding the CEO’s schedule.
• Providing “gatekeeper” and “gateway” roles, creating win-win situations for direct access to the CEO’s time and office
• Managing the CEO’s extremely active calendar of appointments and meetings
• Arranging complex and detailed travel plans, itineraries, and agendas
• Researching, prioritizing, and following up on incoming issues and concerns, including sensitive or confidential ones. Based on that data, you will work with the CEO to decide on appropriate courses of action, referral, or response.
• Working closely and effectively with the CEO to keep him informed of upcoming commitments and responsibilities, following up appropriately
• Acting as a “corporate barometer,” having a sense of how team members are doing and how we can improve culture and performance
• Completing critical aspects of deliverables with a hands-on approach, including drafting acknowledgment letters, personal correspondence, and other tasks that facilitate the CEO’s ability to lead the company effectively
• Prioritizing conflicting needs, handling matters expeditiously and proactively, and following through on completing projects, often with deadline pressures
• Participating as an adjunct member of the executive team, including project management, scheduling meetings, and attending all meetings
• Assisting in coordinating the agenda of executive team meetings and off-sites as well as all staff meetings
• Serving as a strategic advisor and confidant (a highly trusted person with whom to discuss and pressure-test ideas)
• You will support the CEO as Minno’s chief salesperson and ambassador. You will be an extra set of hands to help with presentation development, partnership management, and media and publicity coordination.
• Acting as a proxy for the CEO when he is unavailable, communicating directly on behalf of the CEO with Board members, investors, executive team, and others

You will find that we are a rigorous team with high expectations grounded in data and customer feedback. We move fast and expect the ability to adapt and learn quickly. We hire intelligent, intense people with sunny dispositions that get stuff done!
