Executive Assistant

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

We are looking for a smart, energetic individual to serve as the Executive Assistant to the CEO for our growing start-up company. This role will be fast-paced and dynamic, with a diversity of tasks that change day-to-day.

As an Executive Assistant, you will serve as the heartbeat of a high-growth company. Your primary role will be to support the CEO in administrative functions, thereby maximizing productivity and efficiency for the entire organization.

We look for exceptionally responsible and productive talent who have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, process improvement, and personal growth. We offer a highly flexible working environment to enable you to grow professionally and enjoy what life has to offer.

Experience and successful track record (with long tenure) in administrative roles are important considerations. Fluency in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry is a major plus. The desire to learn, credible communication skills, and the tenacity to “figure it out” are all must-haves.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Manage the inbox of CEO, including flagging important emails and organizing various emails into folders
• Manage the calendar of CEO, including internal and external meetings, travel, and daily schedule
• Manage the corporate expense system, as well as the CEO’s individual expenses
• Manage CEO’s social media / LinkedIn account including adding new contacts, and raising awareness about posts relevant to the company
• Come into the office at least twice a week to sort through mail and other correspondence
• Manage onboarding functions for new employees (paperwork, equipment, systems access)
• Assist in the execution of company meetings (prepare agendas, search venues, prepare materials, etc.)
• Research and vet vendors for marketing collateral printing, recruiting services, corporate photography, corporate branded items etc.

STRETCH OPPORTUNITIES:

• Depending on your skill set, passions, and long-term goals, there are a number of potential growth opportunities in administration, accounting, marketing, sales, product or analytics – we support ambition and energy!

REQUIREMENTS

• 3+ years of experience in administrative positions with excellent references
• NOTE: we are very interested in candidates that demonstrate long tenures at companies
• Experience with company benefits programs including PEOs
• Familiarity with G-suite system and apps
• Advanced experience with MS Office, particularly Excel and PowerPoint
• Superior communication skills (written and verbal); high attention to detail
• Propensity for switching gears quickly, turning on left-and right-sides of the brain when appropriate
• Strong empathy for your clients and colleagues
• High school diploma a must; Bachelor’s degree a big plus

POSITION DETAILS

• ROLE: Full-time
• REPORTS TO: CEO
• COMPENSATION: $50k - $60k; commensurate with experience and value contribution to a growing company
• LOCATION: Encinitas, CA
• TRAVEL: 2-3 times per year (negotiable)

About Designalytics:

Designalytics is a transformative company that enables consumer-packaged-goods (CPG) brands to proactively monitor and manage their package design performance.

Our subscription-based category tracking and analysis helps you assess the opportunity for redesign and alerts you when competitors have made effective design changes. Additionally, subscriptions include valuable skill-building content for brand managers to elevate their game. We currently offer subscriptions to more than 150 consumer-packaged-goods categories.

Without objective evaluation, your most critical marketing asset is likely not fulfilling its potential. Good design is second-guessed; weak designs aren’t optimized; and even justified redesigns go forward without a clear understanding of which aspects need improving and how to improve them. When designs are objectively evaluated by thousands of consumers on key performance dimensions, you can dramatically improve your return on design.

The team behind Designalytics is a smart, passionate, fun family of innovators. We work in the space between creativity and analysis with skill and respect for both disciplines. We are fast growing and always looking for top talent who want more than a job, they want to make a permanent impact on an entire industry.
