Executive Assistant to CEO

About Harry’s 

Harry’s Inc. started in 2013 with a specific goal: disrupt the shaving industry by creating an innovative, everyday product at a fair price. Since then, Harry’s has expanded to Canada and Europe, developed relationships with retailers such as Target and Walmart, expanded our grooming brand into a personal care powerhouse, launched two new brands including Flamingo and Cat Person, and made our first brand acquisition with Lumē. 

The key to our success? Our amazing people. From chemists, mechanical engineers, CX associates, to creative directors, sourcing managers, and logistics specialists, the Harry’s team is composed of some of the most brilliant, diverse, and humble people you’ll ever meet. 

Our brands answer unmet consumer needs, but our company is a place of inclusion and innovation that attracts some of the brightest minds across industries, geographies, and backgrounds. Whether we have a team of 5 or 500, our core values and our startup mentality remain; we value continuous improvement and learning, teamwork and collaboration, creative problem solving, and open and direct dialogue and feedback.

Harry’s is operating as a hybrid-first environment - for us, that means that we ask folks to come into our beautiful, 88,000 square foot SoHo office a minimum of 2 days per week, with flexibility to choose exactly which days work best for you.  What will you get out of that?  Bagels on Wednesdays and lunch on Thursdays, and fully stocked kitchens with snacks, coffee, and drinks everyday.  Can’t forget the free products and the opportunity to have some meetings without Zoom (remember what 2019 was like?)

About the Team

This person will directly work with Harry’s co-founder and Co-CEO Jeff Raider and the fast paced, highly dynamic and growing commercial organization he manages.  This includes Jeff’s executive team who leads the US Personal Care business, managing our Harry’s and Flamingo brands. Because Jeff interacts with almost everyone at Harry’s, so, too, will his Executive Assistant -- in many ways this person will be the face of Harry’s and an ambassador of Jeff’s, constantly interacting with all of our most important internal and external stakeholders.

About the Role

The Executive Assistant will serve as an essential partner to Jeff (our co-founder, co-CEO of Harry’s) and to Jeff’s Chief of Staff. From managing Jeff’s calendar and travel to managing special projects over time, this highly organized, endlessly resourceful person will ensure that nothing falls through the cracks in Jeff’s life – at work or at home. The EA role is one that doesn’t neatly fit within the confines of the 9 - 6 day, so we’re looking for a go-getter who’s eager to be flexible and available, even outside traditional working hours. Because the role (and our exec team) is so dynamic, this person must possess strong business judgment and communication skills needed to interact with a variety of people and job functions, internally and externally. This is a unique EA role as you’ll work not only with Jeff but also directly with Jeff’s Chief of Staff and gain visibility into key initiatives and projects across the business. Our ideal candidate is someone who is interested in growing in this role for at least 2 years. 

What you will accomplish:

• Expertly manage day-to-day scheduling, coordination, and meeting logistics, providing best in class support to Jeff throughout his back-to-back days; often with little oversight and making judgements based on known priorities of Jeff and the business
• Anticipate needs and identify problems proactively, looking around corners for solutions and leveraging existing resources in problem solving
• Coordinate intuitive, complex travel itineraries for Jeff’s trips to meet with retailers and stakeholders in the US and abroad
• Ensure Jeff is prepared for professional meetings and personal and professional events, by soliciting agendas, drafting prep docs, creating itineraries, making reservations, printing material, and doing whatever it takes to ensure effective preparation
• Manage Jeff’s expense reports and ensuring approvals are completed on time each month
• Schedule and oversee personal appointments, and take care of other highly leveraged personal tasks to support Jeff and his family
• Interact regularly and build relationships with executives and colleagues across various teams, with Jeff’s family and close personal network, and with external stakeholders such as investors, consultants, and our Advisory Board
• Serve as a positive ambassador on behalf of Harry’s and Jeff, by consistently acting in a way that leaves people with a positive perception of the company while truly embodying our values

This should describe you:

• You have 1-4 years of professional experience: and you have interest in continuing to grow in this role for the next 2-3 years
• You’re exceptionally detail oriented: You are a perfectionist who never lets anything fall through the cracks. You close every loop, spot every error, and look around corners to make sure every detail is perfect.
• You possess foresight: If you had a superpower, it would be the ability to see (and plan) around corners. You know there’s a problem – and you know how to fix it – before anyone else. When you finish a task, you ask yourself what else could make the outcome even better - planning for every scenario and leaving no stone unturned.
• You’re a great communicator: You can communicate nuance effectively to anyone, and you know how to modify your tone based on who you’re speaking to. Whether it’s in an email, over the phone, or in person, you know how to get things done through your ability to clearly and professionally express yourself.

• You’re open to giving and receiving feedback: Feedback is core to Harry’s values. You lead with kindness and proactively offer, listen, and have direct dialogue daily to improve yourself, your team, and the company. You also receive feedback with curiosity - seeking to understand other perspectives, and incorporate feedback and input into your work moving forward.

• You’re emotionally resilient: in the face of challenges and obstacles, you remain steady and agile, energized to tackle any problem. When you are stuck, you know how to collect yourself, define the problem, and find the right support to help you out.  There’s no sticky situation that you can’t wiggle your way out of, and you always come to the table with solutions.
• You’re hardworking: You are endlessly reliable, trustworthy, and consistent in your ability to produce the highest quality work, even outside the confines of a 9-5 job. Everyone counts on you all the time, and you always come through. Whether it’s hopping on a plane for a last minute trip to LA, or coordinating an apartment move, or greeting our most important investors, you’re down for anything, big or small.
