Executive Assistant (Contract)

AppSumo is the digital marketplace trusted by 1M+ entrepreneurs. We’ve helped launch thousands of top B2B tools like Mailchimp, Evernote, Intercom, and Dropbox just to name a few.

At AppSumo, we believe work doesn’t have to suck. We love helping entrepreneurs build a lifestyle they’re passionate about. And that includes you.

The foundation of our culture is treating teammates like adults. This is a place where we actually encourage you to have a side hustle and develop your career at AppSumo. You’ll learn everything about starting and growing a business here—and get paid to do it.

We’re on a mission to open the doors of entrepreneurship to everyone. You in?

As an Executive Assistant, you’ll provide high-level administrative support to the CEO of AppSumo. Reporting directly to Noah Kagan, you’ll manage his internal and external schedule, travel, communications, and administrative tasks. 

We’re looking for someone creative who enjoys working in an entrepreneurial environment. Our ideal candidate exercises good judgment when navigating new situations, has strong written and verbal communication, administrative, and organization skills, and knows how to maintain a balance between competing priorities.

• Reviewing expenses and submitting expense reports
• Booking flights, hotel and other travel arrangements
• Being proactive in making the most of executive time and thinking of ways to better all of our lives
• Managing sensitive matters with a high level of confidentiality and discretion, especially decisions directly impacting the operations of the company

In the first three months of this role, success means that the CEO’s calendar is organized and accurate, with no information missing. Meetings with them are also effective and efficient because you've prepared beforehand.

• 5 years of previous experience in an Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant role supporting C-level executives 
• Availability during 9-5 CT, with flexibility for texting during evenings and weekends
• Highly communicative and efficient
• Proficiency in G-suite and other relevant software 
• Strong typing speed of at least 80 words per minute
• Hyper attention to detail and high emotional intelligence skills are required 
• You are a problem solver - you look for ways to make things work better and how to turn chaos into systems 
• You are organized and plan ahead, but you don’t get stressed out when things change at the last minute (because they will)
• Startup experience preferred 
• Previous experience with SaaS, entrepreneurship, or tech is a plus!
