Executive Assistant & Office Manager

Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI.

We work directly with robotics hardware partners and commercial operators to place best-in-class robotic systems into real-world environments — hotels, retail, pharmacy, logistics, healthcare, and beyond.

Our work happens on the ground — in commercial environments where execution, technical judgment, and trust determine whether deployments succeed and scale.

Robotics will become the largest industry in human history — larger than anything that has come before it. As intelligent machines move into the physical world, they will dramatically expand global GDP, raise the material standard of living for everyone, and ultimately help make humanity a multiplanetary civilization. None of that happens without one thing: enormous amounts of high-quality, real-world data.

Mecka AI builds that foundation. We are the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI — the substrate that teaches machines to perceive, reason, and act in reality. Get this right, and we accelerate the most important technological transition of our time.

• Excellence as the baseline. We hold an extremely high bar and expect the best work of your career. Mediocrity isn't interesting to us.

• Highly technical. We reason from first principles, not by analogy. The best argument wins — regardless of title or tenure.

• Truth-seeking. We are relentlessly honest with ourselves and each other. We chase reality — measured, not assumed — and kill our own bad ideas fast.

• Maniacal urgency. The work matters and the clock is real. We move fast, ship, measure, and iterate.

• Extreme ownership. You own outcomes end-to-end — no hand-offs, no excuses, no waiting for permission.

• Hardcore. This is a high-intensity environment for people who want to do the defining work of their lives.

We're hiring an Executive Assistant & Office Manager to be the operational backbone of Mecka's New York office and a force multiplier for leadership.

This is not a traditional EA role. We're looking for someone who is sharp, analytical, and commercially minded — someone who can run the office, support executive workflows, and plug into business development and operations work when needed. You'll be a key part of how Mecka functions day-to-day and a trusted extension of the leadership team.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, hate wasted motion, and want to be close to the action at a company building something that matters — this is the role.

• Discreet, trustworthy, and professional with sensitive information

• Energized by variety — no two days look the same and that's how you like it
