Executive Assistant

Job description

At Ando, we’re rebuilding messaging software for a human-agent collaborative era. It’s not enough for it to just “work” or be at parity with Slack. Ando needs to “feel” like it’s working alongside you - it needs to be fast, beautiful, helpful, and predictive. Ando needs to be good enough for our users to want to spend hours of their days in for their working lives, and convince their friends to do the same. Role Overview We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to serve as a strategic right hand to our founder, and to make everyone on the team's daily experience amazing. You’ll coordinate team events and logistics, and handle the thousand small things that make the difference between a chaotic workday and a productive one. This role blends classic executive support with project management and operational responsibilities, and is ideal for someone who is proactive, discreet, and thrives in high-growth, fast-moving environments. What You’ll Do - Handle HR and ops tasks that don't fit neatly into anyone else's job - Coordinate customer events, team onsites, and candidate interview days end-to-end - Book travel (domestic and international), build itineraries, handle logistics - Track action items across the team and send follow-ups to keep things moving - Use Claude Code & other agents to power your work What We’re Looking For - Can context-switch quickly without dropping balls - Have strong judgment about what's urgent vs. important - Are comfortable with ambiguity and figuring things out as you go - Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills - Excellent written and verbal communication skills; Values Accomplishing a goal like unseating Slack requires intense attention to detail, taste, and sweating things that our users may never see, but make a difference in their experience. We’re assembling a team with extremely high standards, and who hold the following values: - Craft matters: We obsess over the details that most people won't notice, but will feel. Every interaction, every animation, every word choice shapes the experience. - Clear thinking, clear communication: We're articulate, precise, and thoughtful in how we communicate, treating every message, doc, and conversation as part of the user experience we deliver to teammates and the world. - We make each other better: We actively share what we know, give candid feedback, and push each other to raise the bar (while having fun doing it). - Deep care for the work and the people: Ultimately, the excellent teammate cares deeply about their craft and the people they do it with. This isn't just a job, it's building something meaningful together. What we offer - Work on cutting-edge AI with close access to labs - Collaborative, positive environment - Professional development opportunities Base pay range for this role is $140k-160k. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location.
