Executive Assistant to the Founder

Executive AssistantGradient is a creatively led, high-end experiential marketing agency in NYC. We build immersive, story-driven experiences — and as we grow, we're looking for an Executive Assistant to work directly with our Founder and help drive everything they touch.This isn't a narrow, task-list job — you'll own the Founder's time and follow-through. One day you're prepping a briefing on a CMO ahead of a big meeting; the next you're organizing a dinner in Paris, pushing outreach to 30 target contacts, or getting an article across the finish line.

If it's taking time away from what the Founder does best, it's yours to own.Because Gradient works globally, you'll need fluent English and French to support clients and partners on both sides of the Atlantic.This role is perfect for someone who's deeply organized, endlessly resourceful, and thrives on variety — someone who'll learn how the Founder thinks and start anticipating what they need before they ask.What You'll DoBe a true extension of the Founder — managing priorities, follow-through, and the details that keep everything movingSupport business development: research prospects, coordinate outreach, and track opportunities in HubSpot or SalesforcePlan events end-to-end, from a NYC client gathering to a dinner in ParisHelp move the Founder's writing projects from research to finished draftHandle travel — bookings, itineraries, and the logistics that make trips easyPrep the Founder for meetings and pitches with the right materials and contextTake on personal and logistical tasks that free up the Founder's timeKeep track of action items across every workstream so nothing slipsWhat Success Looks LikeThe Founder is visibly more effective because you're by their side.
