We also operate F&F Ventures, our investment arm focused on consumer and direct-to-consumer companies. We are looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support our Founder across both Founders & Funders and F&F Ventures.

About the Role

This is not a traditional scheduling role. We are looking for an anticipatory operator who takes work off the Founder’s plate before it has to be assigned, creates systems around recurring responsibilities, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. The purpose of this role is simple: **buy back the Founder’s time so he can focus on the work only he can do.**

* Provide clear updates without waiting to be asked
* Close loops the Founder may no longer realize are open

Systems and Automation
* Build repeatable workflows for investment pipeline follow-up, events, meetings, relationships, and recurring logistics
* Create and maintain trackers, dashboards, and SOPs
* Use tools such as Airtable, ---------- , HubSpot, Notion, Zapier, and AI platforms
* Identify work that can be automated, delegated, or removed
* Make systems repeatable and transferable across the team

Cross-Team Coordination
* Serve as a coordination hub between the Founder and the broader team
* Route questions and responsibilities to the appropriate tea ---------- mbers
* Coordinate with the media lead by providing timely event details, updates, and talking points
* Track handoffs and make sure responsibilities are completed
* Prevent the Founder from becoming the middleman for routine questions and coordination

Briefing and Meeting Preparation
* Prepare concise morning briefs covering:
* Key priorities
* Decisions needed
* Important meetings
* Open action items
* Risks or concerns
* Prepare pre-meeting briefs with relevant context, objectives, and previous conversations
* Ensure the Founder enters meetings prepared without having to conduct the research himself

Travel and Personal Logistics
* Coordinate travel, reservations, schedules, and itineraries
* Handle routine personal logistics that do not require the Founder’s direct involvement
* Anticipate missing details or potential conflicts
* Maintain complete discretion regarding business and personal matters

Who We’re Looking For
* Highly proactive and anticipatory

The Ideal Candidate

They bring solutions, close loops, protect priorities, and have the confidence to keep the Founder on track when needed.

Please begin your application with the phrase **“Multiply and Shield.”** and send an email to ----------
