Administrative Assistant

THE COMPANY

Cape was founded in early 2022 by Palantir and Anduril alums with deep expertise in privacy and national security. While running Palantir’s US national security business, our CEO became passionate about privacy and security on mobile devices. Our mission is to be a force for good in global wireless.

At Cape, we are not just another cellular service provider; we are the architects of a privacy-centric movement that starts with the devices in your pocket. We are building a cellular network that helps citizens, including those responsible for our nation’s security, regain control of their own data.

We believe that where we are, where we go, and whom we are with are among our most personal information and should be kept private. Privacy is not something you achieve by limiting yourself or by doing less, it is a set of features to be built so you can do more. We have raised money from Andreessen Horowitz and other top-tier VCs, and are excited to grow the team.

THE TEAM

We are relentless builders, constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries of what a telco can do. At Cape we trust our teammates to be great, and expect them to make profound impact. As a member of our team, you will collaborate with some of the smartest engineers, architects, and builders anywhere, working across organizational lines to deliver for our customers, every time.

THE ROLE

Cape is seeking a high-caliber Administrative Assistant to serve as a strategic "force multiplier" for Cape leaders. Your mission is to own the operational details that allow our leaders to stay focused on the big picture. You aren't just managing a calendar; you are managing the rhythm of the business, ensuring our team is in the right place, at the right time, with exactly what they need to succeed.

HERE ARE SOME WAYS YOU’LL MAKE AN IMPACT

• Strategic Calendar Command: You will transform the executive calendar into a curated roadmap, ensuring time is strictly allocated to Cape’s highest priorities while proactively resolving 100% of scheduling conflicts.
• Precision Logistics: You will own end-to-end domestic and international travel itineraries, managing every detail—from visas and time zones to ground transport—so that leadership travel is seamless and stress-free.
• Operational Velocity: You will reclaim hours of leadership’s weekly capacity by acting as a gatekeeper, problem solver, and a driver for ad-hoc special projects.
• Stakeholder Diplomacy: You will serve as a polished, professional point of contact for Cape’s internal teams and external customers, navigating high-stakes relationships with discretion and tact.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE IS A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL WHO BRINGS

• Anticipatory Judgment: You don't wait for instructions. You see the domino effect of a delayed flight or a shifted meeting and have Plan B and C in motion before the executive even knows there’s a problem.
• Exceptional Communication: You have a diplomatic touch. You can say "no" to a request on behalf of leadership in a way that preserves the relationship and upholds Cape’s brand.
• High-Growth Agility: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You can pivot between a complex travel booking and a sensitive office project without losing your attention to detail.
• Technical Proficiency: Mastery of G-Suite (or Outlook), Slack, and modern project management tools.

ARE YOU THE CANDIDATE WE ARE LOOKING FOR? (REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ROLE) YOU HAVE:

• DC Based: This is a Washington, D.C.-based role
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years in administrative support, personal support, or a relevant high-level coordinator role.
• Travel Expertise: Proven track record of managing complex domestic and international travel logistics.
• Bonus Points: Experience in a startup environment or as a recruiting coordinator is a major plus.
