Executive Assistant to the CEO

About Gigs

At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services - a platform that enables tech companies to seamlessly embed connectivity into their products.

Just as Stripe enables businesses to embed a payment button into any product, Gigs enables businesses to add a connect button and issue SIMs with a single click or API call. From fintechs launching mobile services to HRIS platforms offering work phone plans, we automate phone plan provisioning.

We're solving complex technical, operational and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly effortless. We've grown to a team of around 90 people across the US and Europe, bringing together an experienced team of early-stage engineers, product builders and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb and Shopify. We know what it takes to solve hard problems.

With almost $100MM in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google and Y Combinator, Gigs is one of the fastest growing tech companies. Building on our strong foundation, we’re looking for exceptional candidates who want to do the best work of their lives in a high-paced environment, surrounded by a highly talented, ambitious team.

You’ll be joining at an exciting inflection point in our company’s history. At sub-100 people and with a year of hyper-growth ahead of us, opportunity is abundant.

• Organizational Oversight: Organize domestic and international travel, events, and leadership team offsite. On behalf of the CEO, organize leadership and coordinate with executive staff on scheduling, conferences, and event planning.

• Master the Art of Communication: You’ll have a direct influence on the communication and credibility of the CEO/Founders both internally and externally and will master the art of intentional communication to drive engage and drive towards business results.

What We Are Looking For

We’re seeking a highly driven Executive Assistant who excels in a fast-paced, high-expectation startup environment, combining elite problem-solving, flawless execution, and unwavering discretion. This role requires flexibility, independent initiative, and a relentless commitment to optimizing executive productivity.

Remote Work at Gigs

At Gigs, we’re remote-friendly, with a strong emphasis on meaningful in-person collaboration. While most of our work is done remotely, we encourage our team to connect regularly in our hubs, whether for focused teamwork, customer meetings, or brainstorming sessions that drive creativity.

• Gigs Pads: Our hubs in San Francisco, London, and Berlin are vibrant spaces where Gigsters come together to connect, collaborate, and create. 
• Gigs Republic: Twice a year, the entire company gathers for in-depth team bonding, strategic sessions, and shared experiences to reinforce our culture and drive growth.
