Executive Assistant

We find and fix every vulnerability in our customers' applications. When a new AI model is released, we run it against their applications before attackers do, and close what it finds.

About Wakefield

Wakefield is an applied research lab working on AI-native security services. We build security agents and publish how they work. Our methods, benchmark and raw data are public so anyone can check them.

• Source code optional: blackbox agents sign in as every role and test the running app. Whitebox agents read the code on every pull request.

• If Wakefield can't prove it, the customer never sees it: agents replay each finding in a real browser and record it. Then Wakefield writes the fix, ready to open as a pull request, and retests it. We have SLAs for zero false positives.

• One service that replaces DAST, SAST, SCA, SBOM, and the tests companies run in-house or buy in.

The role

Wakefield runs a lot of its own work with agents. You'll work directly with the founders and own the work that keeps them and the company moving, including deciding what a person should handle and what an agent should: founder support, recruiting coordination, customer meetings, company logistics, and the systems behind them.

What you'll work on

• Founder calendars, inbox triage and travel.

• Recruiting coordination: interview scheduling, work trials and candidate logistics.

• Customer meetings and briefings: scheduling, preparation and follow-up.

• Company logistics, the office, and admin like NDAs and records.

• Dinners and events, from guest list to follow-up.

• Lightweight systems and AI automations that make recurring work run itself.

Requirements

• Experience supporting founders or executives at a fast-growing startup

• You've built systems and processes from scratch

• You're extremely meticulous and catch the missed detail before anyone else

• You see what needs doing and close the loop without being chased

• Strong judgment on what to handle yourself, what to escalate, and when

• You use AI tools every day to automate recurring work

• You're warm and socially confident with candidates, customers and partners

• You genuinely enjoy making things run well

Nice to have

• Experience in recruiting coordination

• You've run events or built a community
