Executive Assistant / Office Manager

About the Role:

This is a hybrid Executive Assistant and Office Manager role. You will be the operational backbone of the New York office and the day-to-day right-hand to senior leaders. On the EA side, we want someone who is hands-on, who takes real ownership of People, Finance, and Legal work and projects alongside us, and who acts as a thought partner: someone who spots what needs to happen, pushes back when something looks off, and helps us decide what to do next.
The office side is just as important. You make sure the space runs seamlessly, every person who walks in feels taken care of, and nothing falls through the cracks. You are the first and last line of defense for the physical space, the employee experience, and day-to-day operations.
You will report to and partner closely with the People team. This is an on-site, full-time role.

Responsibilities

Executive Support & Thought Partnership

Take on real work across People, Finance, and Legal, including special projects, analysis, document preparation, and tracking deliverables through to completion
Handle highly confidential information with discretion and sound judgment
Office & Space Management
Own the physical state of the office at all times: common areas, conference rooms, soft seating, and executive offices should always be clean, properly staged, and guest-ready
Coordinate all repairs and maintenance (e.g., damaged wallpaper, broken accessories, millwork, furniture) end-to-end: identify, source, schedule, and follow through to completion

Track office expenses, including lunch support, cleaning, supplies, and other recurring costs
Manage the visitor and guest experience
Maintain and update the office seating chart, tracking team presence, how often people come in, and whether employees are sitting with their teams

Be the go-to resource for new hires beyond day one, helping them acclimate, understand the office, and know how to get what they need
Partner with HR and IT on onboarding logistics, including I-9 verification, compliance training coordination, and new hire orientation planning
Serve as a key point of contact for employees and managers on day-to-day office questions

Handle all event logistics, including vendor coordination, scheduling, day-of execution, and invoice/billing management
Champion office culture and create touchpoints that make your location a place people are excited to work from and collaborate in every day
