Full Job Description

We are rebuilding how architecture, engineering, and construction firms run their marketing and revenue operations. We work with the firms that design and build the physical infrastructure around us: the buildings, bridges, hospitals, transit systems, and water plants that everyone uses and almost nobody thinks about. Our team genuinely loves this industry. AEC moves billions of dollars through workflows that still rely on spreadsheets, email threads, and tribal knowledge, and our AI-powered platform replaces that mess with software that actually understands how AEC teams pursue work, win it, and deliver it. We’re early, we’re moving fast, we’re hyper customer-centric, and we’re building the system of record for AI for an industry that’s never had one. About the role This is the role for an EA who finds genuine satisfaction in being the reason everything stands up. You’ll support the CEO to start, with 1-2 additional executives added as the company grows. Every hour the CEO spends on the wrong thing is an hour we are not winning. Your job is to find and eliminate time leakage: every 10-minute context switch, every meeting that should have been a Slack, every back-and-forth that ate a Tuesday morning. You read the subtext in a customer email and know whether it needs a same-day response or a thoughtful 24-hour one. You can tell when a leader needs 30 minutes of unscheduled thinking time and protect it without being asked. Calendar Tetris is your sport. This is a hybrid role based in San Diego. In-office enough days to actually know the team, remote enough that you control your own focus time. What you’ll do 1. Protect the CEO’s time strategically without being a rigid gatekeeper (this is the job) 2. Own a complex CEO calendar across multiple time zones, with more execs added over time 3. Eliminate time leakage: kill meetings that don’t need to happen, shorten the ones that do, batch the rest 4. Make tradeoff calls on competing requests without escalating every one 5.
