Requirements
  • You are proficient with the Microsoft Office Suite of products (or the Google Workspace equivalents); this means you’re comfortable building slides in PPT and performing basic formulas and skills in excel (e.g., pivot tables, vlook-ups, etc.)
  • You’re exceptionally detail oriented: You are a perfectionist who never lets anything fall through the cracks. You close every loop, spot every error, and look around corners to make sure every detail is perfect.
  • You’re proactive: Some might call it pushy, but we just think you’re proactive. You’re always three steps ahead, and know how to manage senior executives to help them avoid pitfalls.
  • You possess foresight: If you had a superpower, it would be the ability to see (and plan) around corners. You know there’s a problem – and you know how to fix it – before anyone else.
  • You’re a creative problem solver: There’s no sticky situation that you can’t wiggle your way out of, and you always come to the table with solutions.
  • You’re a pro at multitasking: You have the ability to manage multiple initiatives and projects at the same time and can easily context switch and redirect attention based on shifting priorities.
  • You’re an excellent cross-functional project manager: You know what it takes to run a tight process, providing clear guidance, tracking towards deadlines, and working through people.
  • You’re a great communicator with an executive presence: You can communicate nuance effectively to anyone, and you know how to modify your tone and content based on who you’re speaking to. Whether it’s in an email, over the phone, or in person, you know how to get things done through your ability to clearly and professionally express yourself. You have experience with senior-level stakeholders and investors and know how to interface effectively.
  • You’re hardworking: You are endlessly reliable, trustworthy, and consistent in your ability to produce the highest quality work. Everyone counts on you all the time, and you always come through. Whether it’s coordinating on-site catering, or executing a large-scale event, you’re down for anything, big or small.
  • You exercise good judgment: You’re trustworthy and exercise good judgment with the most confidential and sensitive information. You know how to tactfully navigate requests for information that may not be best shared; you help to put out, rather than flame, rumors and gossip.
  • You’re a people person: You’re curious about people, energized by forming relationships, getting to know people, and working with and through them.

  • Own the Harry’s Inc Leadership Team’s annual calendar; set the cadence and operating rhythm of offsites, monthly/quarterly business reviews, and other business-critical forums
  • Partner closely with Andy’s Chief of Staff to support Harry’s Inc. Board governance and management; this includes liaising with board members to set and manage the annual board calendar, coordinate meeting agendas, and ensure flawless day-of execution
