## Job Description **NOTE:** The ideal candidate will be someone with an impressive crypto/investments background, ideally having been a Senior EA for major executives for multiple years, as this is a very senior role with a lot of responsibility. This role is a senior, high-trust **Executive Assistant** position working directly with the Founder, with a strong emphasis on **judgment, prioritisation, synthesis, and proactive execution**. While traditional EA skills (calendar, inbox, logistics) are required, this role is intentionally designed for someone who can operate in ambiguity, think abstractly, and materially increase executive leverage across investment, communication, and relationship management. The ideal candidate has **strong soft skills first**, paired with **some investment or finance exposure**, and is comfortable acting as a filter, amplifier, and follow-through owner rather than a task-taker. ### What The Role Owns #### Executive Leverage & Prioritisation - Own prioritisation of the Founder’s time, inbox, and attention based on content, urgency, and strategic importance (not just sender). - Track open loops across meetings, calls, and conversations; ensure follow-ups happen without prompting. - Watch call recordings and identify required next steps, follow-ups, or decisions. #### Communication & Synthesis - Draft clear, concise executive communications (emails, summaries, presentations). - Produce meeting summaries with synthesis and action items (not raw notes). - Create tweet threads and short-form content from provided data, ideas, or discussions. - Support portions of Twitter / LinkedIn messaging with appropriate judgment and tone. #### Networking & Relationship Support - Identify and research high-impact people relevant to investments, partnerships, and ecosystem positioning. - Support outbound networking and relationship management. - Handle low-priority inbound calls (e.g., cold founder intros), summarising outcomes and recommendations. #### Investment & Research Support - Assist with market, company, or thematic research. - Help maintain momentum across day-to-day investment activities. #### Hiring & Ad-Hoc Support - Support interviews and hiring workflows (scheduling, summaries, candidate coordination). - Handle ad-hoc tasks that accumulate around the Founder. - Provide backup support on events, travel, and logistics during peak periods, including assisting other team members when needed. ### Required Skills & Attributes - Exceptional time management, prioritisation, and organisational skills. - Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to write for executive audiences. - Strong judgment, problem-solving mindset, and bias for action. - Comfortable operating independently in fast-moving, ambiguous environments. - High discretion and reliability. ### Background - Strong preference for candidates with some investment, finance, or capital markets experience. - Must be based in NYC or willing to relocate; role is office-based. ### Success in This Role Looks Like - The Founder’s inbox, calendar, and follow-ups feel calm, intentional, and well-prioritised. - Meetings and calls consistently result in clear next steps and execution. - Communication output (emails, summaries, content) is concise, high-quality, and on-point. - Low-value work is filtered out; high-leverage work is surfaced early. - The role evolves into a true extension of the Founder rather than a reactive assistant. - You must be based in NYC & able to work fully office-based. (Or open to relocating to NYC) **Skills:** research, management, summaries, investments, skills, ad-hoc, capital markets, communication, synthesis, ecosystem growth, blockchain *When applying, mention the word CANDYSHOP to show you read the job post completely.*
