As Marqeta's
Executive Business Partner to our Chief Administrative Officer (CAO)
, you will provide steady, reliable support to our dynamic CAO in a fast-paced environment. You'll leverage your exceptional organizational skills, resilience, and composure to navigate shifting priorities with ease. Operating behind the scenes, you'll serve as a proactive, detail-oriented, and unflappable partner who takes pride in ensuring seamless operations and anticipating needs before they arise.
This is a high-touch executive support role — not a Chief of Staff function. With that role already filled on the CAO's team, the person hired into this role will own the operational and administrative backbone
: managing calendars, coordinating across stakeholders, keeping projects on track, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
It's the right fit for someone who excels at execution and coordination
— not strategy or policy.

, navigating frequent changes and prioritizing meetings with sound judgment.
Coordinate domestic and international travel with precision - including flights, hotels, ground transport, and dining - ensuring alignment with the CAO’s specifications.
Prepare and process expense reports accurately and efficiently.
Handle special projects and logistics such as team offsites, milestone and holiday gifts
Anticipate needs, stay several steps ahead, and respond quickly in a highly fluid environment.
Manage light operational or finance-related activities such as purchase orders and vendor coordination.
Be willing to jump in wherever needed
Communicate clearly and professionally across the CAO’s leadership team and cross-functional partners.
Maintain discretion, professionalism, and a sense of humor
Who You Are

Strong proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and other key tools for managing work in a distributed global environment
