Executive Assistant to the CEO at Nift

<h2><strong>About the Role</strong></h2> <p>Nift is looking for an Executive Assistant to act as a strategic partner and force multiplier for our CEO. This is not a traditional admin seat. You'll operate at the speed and altitude of a high-performing executive — managing time, information, and priorities with precision, and anticipating what's needed before it's asked.</p> <p>You'll be a gatekeeper, a sounding board, and a trusted extension of the CEO: equally comfortable running a complex international itinerary, pulling together a board deck, or handling a sensitive stakeholder conversation. You'll represent the CEO's voice with credibility across the company and with partners, clients, investors, and board members.</p> <h2><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Own the calendar.</strong> Run a complex, ever-changing executive calendar — weighing competing priorities, making judgment calls on the CEO's behalf, and ensuring every incoming request lands with full context.</li> <li><strong>Control access.</strong> Serve as the primary gatekeeper for the CEO's time, deciding what gets through and when.</li> <li><strong>Make travel seamless.</strong> Coordinate domestic and international travel end to end: detailed itineraries, contingency plans, and real-time adjustments when things change mid-flight.</li> <li><strong>Prepare the CEO for everything.</strong> Deliver day-ahead and week-ahead briefings, background research, and meeting materials so the CEO walks in ready.</li> <li><strong>Build the network.</strong> Establish and manage relationships with partners, DTC brands, board members, and investors on the CEO's behalf.</li> <li><strong>Drive high-stakes work.</strong> Help prepare board presentations, client-facing decks, and executive communications — and streamline how decisions get made day to day.</li> <li><strong>Support the whole picture.</strong> At this level, professional and personal logistics blur — you'll serve as a Personal Assistant for the CEO, managing their personal calendar, vacation planning, and other administrative needs alongside professional logistics with the same discretion you bring to everything else.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2><strong>What You Bring</strong></h2> <ul> <li>6+ years of professional experience, including 3+ years supporting a VP-or-above executive at a tech startup or VC firm; BS/BA preferred</li> <li>A strong bias toward action — you take initiative, work autonomously, and hunt down the answers, context, and data needed to solve problems</li> <li>Exceptional judgment, discretion, and composure under pressure</li> <li>High EQ and strong relationship-building instincts, paired with clear written and verbal communication</li> <li>Outstanding organization and follow-through: you manage multiple workstreams at once and drive every one to completion</li> <li>Adaptability when plans change last minute — and an optimistic outlook when they do</li> <li>Fluency with modern productivity tools (Google Workspace, spreadsheets, structured email workflows)</li> <li>Flexibility to be generally reachable outside standard hours and across time zones — this role moves with the CEO's schedule, not a 9-to-5</li> </ul> <h2><strong>About Nift</strong></h2> <p>Nift’s mission is to reshape how people discover and try new brands by introducing them to new products and services through thoughtful "thank-you" gifts.
