Executive Assistant at Mill | LAYIQ

Executive support & founder coordination
Manage a complex, fast-moving calendar, proactively resolving conflicts and protecting time for what matters most
Draft, edit, and proofread executive-level written communications — emails, memos, board materials, talking points — with precision and the right tone for the audience
Exercise independent judgment on what's urgent, what can wait, and what needs immediate escalation
Understand how to engage with your executive's direct reports across a wide remit — Comms/Public Affairs, People, and GTM (Marketing, Creative, Sales Enablement). These are tight-knit, high-performing teams, and building effective working relationships that keep things running smoothly is critical
Confidentiality & information management
Handle a high volume of sensitive material with absolute discretion, including but not limited to: People/HR matters (compensation, performance, org changes,), confidential communications strategy, business performance and budget, founder-level strategy and external relationships
Maintain clear information boundaries between workstreams and confidential HR matters, understanding precisely what can and cannot cross between rooms
Recognize when something is above your access level and route it accordingly, without needing to be told
Assess administrative items from adjacent functions (accounting, people ops) for importance and flag what needs your executive's attention, even where you don't have direct access
Operational excellence
Own the fundamentals flawlessly: travel, expenses, meeting logistics, briefing prep, follow-up tracking
Anticipate needs before they're voiced; close loops without being asked
Coordinate seamlessly with other executive assistants and admins across the company and with external stakeholders (board members, investors, partners)
Use AI tools (e.g., Claude, scheduling assistants, transcription tools) to move faster on recurring work while knowing when something needs a human hand
Culture & team health
Serve as an informal pulse-check on team morale and dynamics — noticing what's not being said in meetings, flagging friction points early, helping your executive read the room
Build trusted relationships across the org so people feel comfortable being candid with you
