You’ll anticipate needs, remove friction, and create leverage so leaders can focus on strategy, customers, and teams.

• Increase transparency, communication, and alignment across teams by enabling executives to show up prepared, informed, and focused.

• Own complex, dynamic calendars for one or more executives, including prioritization, sequencing, and protection of focus time.

• Coordinate internal and external meetings across time zones, including recurring cadences, offsites, and ad-hoc sessions.

Meeting Preparation & Follow-Through

• Partner with chiefs of staff, business leaders, and operations teams to ensure executive time supports strategic priorities.

Travel, Events & Logistics

• Plan and manage complex domestic and occasional international travel, including itineraries, logistics, and contingency planning.

• Coordinate logistics for executive offsites, leadership summits, board-related prep sessions, and key internal events.

• Process expenses, reimbursements, and related documentation accurately and on time.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as a primary point of contact between executives and internal/external stakeholders, ensuring timely, professional communication.

• Triage inbound requests, clarify urgency and importance, and make thoughtful recommendations on where leaders should engage directly.

• Draft, edit, and send communications on behalf of executives when appropriate (emails, Slack messages, internal updates, etc.).

Operations & Project Support

• Support and help track cross-functional projects, ensuring milestones, owners, and timelines are clearly defined and visible.

• Create and maintain lightweight systems (trackers, dashboards, docs) to keep executives informed on progress and risks.

• Partner closely with other EAs and business operations leaders to standardize and improve executive support processes.

Process Improvement & Executive Enablement

• Identify opportunities to streamline routines, tools, and workflows so executives can operate more efficiently.

• Build and refine playbooks for recurring activities (QBRs, all-hands, staff meetings, planning cycles, travel-heavy weeks).

• Uphold and model Drata’s culture and values in every interaction, representing your leaders and the company with professionalism and discretion.

• 6+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant or similar role supporting C-level leaders, SaaS or technology environment strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated success managing complex calendars, travel, and competing priorities for senior executives.

• Experience working in fast-paced, ambiguous, high-growth environments where priorities change quickly.

Skills & Capabilities

• Exceptional organizational skills with strong attention to detail and follow-through — you run multiple workflows in parallel without dropping balls.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to tailor tone and content to executives, board members, customers, partners, and internal teams.

• High degree of professionalism, discretion, and judgment when handling confidential and sensitive information.

• Comfort with modern collaboration tools (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, project management tools) and willingness to adopt new systems where they improve efficiency.

• Ability to anticipate needs, think several steps ahead, and proactively solve problems before they escalate.

Mindset & Behaviors
