Executive Assistant the CEO

About us

Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.). 

Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).   

Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

About the role

We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant / Personal Assistant to partner closely with Sparrow’s CEO during a critical phase of growth.

The CEO views her role as setting Sparrow’s vision and hiring and managing a high-performing executive team. Her time is extremely limited—and it’s essential that she spends that time only on the highest-impact work that requires her attention.

In this role, you will act as a force multiplier for the CEO and for Sparrow as a whole. You’ll help increase the velocity at which the CEO can meet, delegate, and make decisions, while ensuring strong follow-through and visibility across the executive team on CEO-dependent work.

This role is expected to be 90% Executive Assistant work and 10% Personal Assistant work, supporting both professional and limited personal logistics so the CEO can operate at her highest level. This is a fully remote role but may require up to 25% travel to the Bay Area, where the CEO is located. This is a role whe
