Executive Assistant / Operations Lead for a family office based in SF, California (remote)

Founder details will be shared during the interview process in alignment with privacy and confidentiality requirements. A Silicon Valley–based family office supports early-stage investing, operating companies, and personal ventures, and has been recognized as a top early-stage investor. The Executive Assistant provides direct support to the principals across scheduling, communications, travel and logistics, vendor coordination, and day-to-day execution. This role requires excellent judgment, clear and precise communication, and strong calendar and logistics management, along with comfort operating in a high-trust, high-context environment. The Executive Assistant works closely with senior leaders, founders, investors, and their executive assistants, serving as a thoughtful filter and force multiplier for the principals’ time. This is not a traditional EA role. It is designed for someone who wants ownership, complexity, and long-term growth in a fast-moving, execution-focused environment. The principals are serial entrepreneurs and investors with deep experience building and scaling venture-backed companies, including businesses backed by leading Silicon Valley investors. Together, they manage a family office, oversee multiple operating companies, and continue to launch new ventures across technology and healthcare.
