Executive Assistant
About us
At Flatfile, we believe that humans shouldn’t have to struggle to use the data that drives our work forwards. We create beautiful, human-centric experiences to remove the barriers between people and data. We’re automating every repetitive and painstaking process involved in teaching machines what data is and where it should go.
What do a grocery store, an early-stage e-commerce startup, and Fortune 500 insurance company all have in common? They are all Flatfile customers, for one.
Regardless of segment or geography, accessing usable data quickly is a baseline requirement for operating your business today. Flatfile serves as a crucial bridge between messy, 3rd party data and our customers’ systems. We call this data onboarding, and we view it as both a challenge and an opportunity to serve every company in the world.
In this role you will . . .
- Maintain and manage the CEO’s calendar;
- Own and operate complicated meeting schedules, frequently including people spread across multiple time zones--creating and sharing related correspondence before and after meetings occur, and keeping track of meeting notes as needed.
- Oversee the CEOs' daily schedule, balancing long-term projects, recurring tasks, and urgent requests to assure time is being used as effectively as possible.
- Could it have been an email? Avoid this post-meeting inquiry whenever possible by proactively determining when a meeting is required and when asynchronous communication will suffice.
- Maintain a working knowledge of the schedules and priorities of other executives, direct reports, or employees who frequently interact with the CEO.
- Budget time on the CEO’s calendar for the things busy humans often forget, including eating lunch and proactively ordering food when necessary.
- Own and oversee multiple forms of correspondence for the CEO;
- Manage and maintain the CEO’s inbox, making sure emails are responded to swiftly, grammatically correctly (unlike this JD), and those that are the highest priority are addressed first.

- Act as a liaison, applying excellent judgment and general knowledge of the business to filter and prioritize requests made of the CEO.

- Stay current on all projects and commitments of the CEO.
- Book travel and create corresponding itineraries for business as well as personal trips when required.
