Job Description

The Windfall is partnering with a Nutrition Start Up that is seeking to hire an Executive Assistant. As the Executive Assistant, you will be an indispensable partner to the Co-Founders, ensuring they—and the broader Executive Department—operate at peak efficiency. You will be the orchestrator behind the scenes: managing complex calendars, anticipating needs before they arise, and ensuring every detail is flawlessly executed. You pride yourself on precision, proactivity, and follow-through. You notice what others miss, close every loop, and thrive on bringing order to complexity. Scheduling and organization are not just tasks to you—they’re a craft you take pride in. In this role, you’ll shape the firm's corporate cadence, coordinate critical meetings and events, and act as a trusted extension of the Co-Founders in interactions with employees, board members, and external partners. This role is ideal for someone highly organized, solutions-oriented, and energized by making the people around them more effective. You’ll balance independent ownership with close collaboration, staying attuned to the fast-moving needs of a growing company. Because the role is dynamic, you must bring strong business judgment, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to interact seamlessly across functions. Flexibility, adaptability, and a consistent in-office presence (Monday-Thursdays, 4 days per week in office, WFH Fridays) are essential. Daily hours in office are 9:00am-5:00pm with the flexibility to work overtime as needed.
