ABOUT YOU

• 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting senior leaders (VP-level or above), ideally including experience at a fast-growing startup

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the judgment and polish to represent the VP and WeaveGrid when interfacing with external partners, clients, and senior leaders
• A proactive, no-task-too-small mindset and high degree of ownership — you take initiative to solve problems before being asked, whether that's a scheduling conflict or a broken dishwasher
