Executive Assistant to the CEO
About the Team
This person will directly work with Harry’s co-founder Jeff Raider, the executive team of the company and a team charged with building new brands in CPG and transforming Harry’s into a next generation CPG company. 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, 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). By managing everything from calendar and travel arrangements to expenses and personal errands, this highly organized, endlessly resourceful person will ensure that nothing falls through the cracks in Jeff’s life. This person will drive and coordinate key meetings with Jeff, own agendas, follow ups and be asked to keep people accountable to project timelines. The EA role is one that doesn’t neatly fit within the confines of the 9 - 5 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 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.
What you will accomplish:
- Anticipate needs, look around corners, and provide the highest caliber of administrative support
- Expertly manage day-to-day scheduling, coordination, and meeting logistics
- Coordinate intuitive, complex travel itineraries
- Ensure Jeff is prepared for professional meetings and personal and professional events, by soliciting agendas, drafting one-pagers, creating itineraries, making reservations, printing material, and doing whatever it takes to ensure effective preparation
- Manage Jeff expense reports
- Schedule and oversee personal appointments, and take care of other highly leveraged personal tasks
- Interact regularly and build relationships with executives and colleagues across various teams, and with Jeff’s family and close personal network
- Serve as a positive ambassador on behalf of Harry’s, 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
- 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’re proactive: Some might call it pushy, but we just think you’re proactive. You’re always three steps ahead, and know how to manage senior executives to help them avoid potential pitfalls.
- 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.
- You are a creative problem solver: 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 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 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.
Here's who you'll work with:
- Reporting to Jeff Raider
- You’ll work on the Executive team, in close partnership with stakeholders from across the company
