Full Job Description

ABOUT FIRST ROUND First Round https://firstround.com/ is a venture capital firm that works with founders exclusively at the earliest stages of company building, often when all they have is an “imagine if.” We fill in where we can until the team is filled out, tackling crucial early hiring and equipping those who are great at building product with the skills to sell it, too. By getting the foundational firsts right, we increase the odds of finding extreme product-market fit. Our founders’ “imagine ifs” have turned into companies like Notion, Roblox, Uber, and Square. YOUR CORE ROLE AS AN EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT WILL INCLUDE: - Managing and prioritizing complex calendars, scheduling meetings, resolving conflicts and ensuring the executive’s time aligns with strategic priorities. - Preparing partner’s meeting materials, daily agenda briefing and any other administrative tasks that support daily operations. - Booking travel, including flights, accommodations, transportation, itineraries and all related logistics. - Planning and executing in-person meetings and events, including dinners, offsites and other executive driven gatherings. - Working closely with the Chief of Staff to support the executive’s priorities and ensuring smooth day to day operations. - Preparing and submitting expense reports accurately and on-time. - Curating, purchasing, and sending thoughtful gifts for partner contacts. YOU COULD BE A GREAT EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT AT FIRST ROUND IF: - You sweat the details. You triple-check names, times, logistics — nothing slips through the cracks. A typo or grammar error irks you. - You work when the work needs to get done. You understand what it means to build a true partnership with your executive—it demands flexibility, responsiveness, and a willingness to put in time when needed, including nights and weekends. - You’re an execution machine. Tasks get done thoughtfully and proactively with minimal oversight. Creating order out of chaos is one of your superpowers. -
