Key skills for this role
THIS IS AN ONSITE POSITION BASED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS - NO REMOTE OR HYBRID AVAILABILITY FOR THIS POSITION The Executive Assistant to the CEO is the operational anchor of the CEO's day.
You own his calendar, his travel, his inbox triage, his meeting logistics, his expenses, and the hundreds of small details that must run flawlessly for him to operate at full capacity.
You are the gatekeeper, the coordinator, and the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.
You are the first point of contact for many people trying to reach the CEO, investors, customers, partners, vendors, and internal team members.
How you handle them reflects directly on him and on VVater.
You represent the office of the CEO with polish, warmth, and absolute discretion.
You anticipate.
You do not wait to be asked.
You see what is coming and you handle it before it becomes a problem.
WHAT THIS IS — AND WHAT IT IS NOT This role IS:
• The master of the CEO's calendar, travel, inbox, and logistics
• A highly trusted, highly discreet gatekeeper to the office of the CEO
• A proactive anticipator who solves problems before they surface
• A polished, professional first impression for investors, customers, and partners
• An AI-native operator who uses modern tools to work faster and smarter
• A seat with real growth potential for the right person This role IS NOT:
• A Chief of Staff role (that is, a separate, strategic operating seat)
• A strategy or decision-making role (you enable decisions, you do not own them)
• A junior or entry-level position (this requires a seasoned, senior EA)
• A 9-to-5 (more on that below) We will be direct, because that is one of our values. This role is demanding. The CEO operates at an uncommon pace, and the Executive Assistant operates alongside him. That means being reachable early, late, and on weekends when something genuinely needs handling, a travel change, an urgent scheduling conflict, an investor or customer who needs a response. We are not asking anyone to be on call every hour of every day. We are transparent and respectful of personal time when the tempo allows. But this is a senior seat supporting the top of a fast-moving company, and the right person is energized by that responsibility rather than drained by it. If you need rigid, predictable hours, this is not your seat. If you take pride in being the person a CEO cannot operate without, this is exactly where you want to be.
