Company
Enterprise cybersecurity is broken. Current annual cybersecurity spending is roughly $150B, with most enterprises spending heavily to deploy, manage, and configure hundreds of different tools for marginal security benefit. At Zip, our goal is to build software that makes enterprise cybersecurity reasonable – to reduce bloat by bundling and configuring opinionated security tooling, synchronizing everything from device management to application security under one central pane of glass. At Zip, you’ll be at the cutting edge of security, working with some of the world’s most important companies to effortlessly secure their people, software, and data.
The Role
We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support our CEO in his day-to-day activities, across a range of admin and operational tasks. You will play a critical role in being a force multiplier for the CEO by proactively identifying optimizations across the organization, and allowing him to focus on driving the company’s strategic initiatives.
We are seeking an agile, fast learner who is eager to grow within our business. This role offers many growth opportunities within our organization, with the potential to take on more responsibilities and advance your career as Zip expands.

Calendar management & scheduling

Organizing and coordinating weekly internal meetings
Researching and comparing various vendors for software tools or procurement
Proactively identify areas of improvement for existing processes and independently work to optimize them
Prioritizing and resolving conflicting needs with little to no guidance
