Executive Assistant & Special Projects

About COMMAND
COMMAND is a strategic communications firm trusted by builders. We partner with visionary founders tackling the world's biggest challenges through innovative technology and disruptive business models, from high-growth startups to leading venture capital firms.

Our team brings formative experience in-house, at startups, and in journalism. We combine the reach and discipline of traditional communications with the strategic mindset, rigor, and speed of early-stage operators.

As COMMAND continues to grow, we're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to partner closely with our co-founders and leadership team. This isn't a traditional administrative role. You'll serve as an operational force multiplier – keeping priorities moving, creating clarity amidst complexity, and helping the firm operate at its highest level.

Who We’re Looking For

You thrive in fast-paced environments with lots of moving pieces. You genuinely enjoy bringing order to chaos, anticipating what's around the corner, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

You're someone who loves being in the middle of the action. One minute you're coordinating a leadership offsite, the next you're helping prepare for an investor meeting, tracking firm-wide initiatives, or solving a last-minute scheduling puzzle across multiple time zones.

You don't wait to be asked. You naturally identify what needs attention, communicate proactively, and take ownership until the work is done.

You enjoy working alongside ambitious, kind people who move quickly, care deeply about their work, and celebrate each other's wins.

What You'll Do

  • Partner closely with COMMAND's co-founders and Chief of Staff to manage complex calendars, shifting priorities, and high-impact projects.
  • Act as a trusted thought partner by helping prioritize competing demands and ensuring the founders are focused on the highest-impact work.
  • Stay one step ahead by anticipating needs, solving problems proactively, and bringing clarity to an environment with lots of moving pieces.
  • Drive important firm-wide initiatives by following up on action items, coordinating across teams, and ensuring projects continue moving forward.
  • Own the logistics that keep the business running smoothly, from leadership meetings and travel to company events and internal planning, executing with precision and attention to detail.
  • Bring order to a fast-moving, Slack-first environment where priorities evolve quickly, communication is direct, and no two days look the same.
  • Jump into new challenges as the company grows, taking on projects and responsibilities that may not fit neatly into a traditional Executive Assistant role.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being in the middle of the action. You'll be the connective tissue between leadership and the broader team, helping ensure the firm stays aligned, moves quickly, and executes at a high level.

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of experience supporting senior executives, founders, or leadership teams in a fast-paced startup, agency, consulting, venture capital, or technology environment.
  • Exceptional organizational skills with an ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong judgment and discretion when handling important email.
  • A natural sense of urgency and belief that every minute counts, with the ability to quickly prioritize what matters most.
  • High emotional intelligence and the ability to build trusted relationships across every level of the organization.
  • Comfort working in Slack as a primary communication tool and operating in a highly collaborative, fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly.
  • A bias toward action. You don't need perfect instructions—you figure things out and keep moving.
  • Curiosity, resourcefulness, and a genuine desire to make the people around you more effective.

Why COMMAND?

  • Work alongside founders building one of the fastest-growing strategic communications firms in technology.
  • Play a highly visible role with meaningful exposure to company strategy, leadership, and operations.
  • Fully remote company with a flexible work culture.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Parental leave policy.
  • Annual company off-site retreat.
