We are hiring an Executive Assistant to the CEO of an industrial IoT company that provides an edge-to-cloud data platform for real-time machine connectivity, data collection, and Industrial DataOps at scale, helping manufacturers accelerate digital transformation. The company has experienced rapid, sustained growth over the past 4 to 5 years, including 150% YOY growth last year alone. As the business has scaled, its organizational structure has evolved significantly, with multiple layers of leadership now in place. As a result, the CEO’s role has shifted from day-to-day operations to high-level strategic initiatives, creating the need for a new kind of executive support.

Role Overview

• The EA will serve as primary strategic partner and coordinator to the CEO, helping manage both internal operations and external-facing initiatives
• The role blends traditional EA responsibilities (calendar management, travel, coordination) with program management-level involvement, especially in organizing operations across new global teams
• This person will play a key role in aligning cross-functional initiatives, defining (with help from SMEs) and tracking progress against KPIs, and supporting international expansion (e.g., new offices in Europe and India)

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 10-15 year progressive EA experience in fast moving companies like Google and Amazon
• Someone who moves beyond a traditional EA mindset and operates more like a Program Manager/ Executive Business Partner
• Strong program management and strategic coordination skills, with the ability to help establish an “Office of the CEO” function
• High EQ, adaptable, excellent at managing both detail and complexity
• Looking for someone who is energized by helping drive initiatives tied to revenue and company growth, not only calendar and inbox management, though that’s certainly part of the scope

Compensation & Structure

• Target base salary: up to $130K
• Equity Component
• This person would be the lead EA and may help support busy VPs occasionally, but the focus will be on directly supporting the CEO
