Base is the first-ever platform built for assistants and the executives they support, all managed in a dedicated workspace where updates from the tens of tools assistants live in daily can be organized and distributed to executives in an elegant, efficient, and reliable way.
 
We're disruptive: Assistants work upwards of 10 different tools each day - none of which are built for them. Our platform is the first-ever built for the assistant's workflow. We streamline all of their inputs so they can maximize their effectiveness in their executive support. We believe that every leader should have access to an assistant, and this future of work messaging earned us the top prize this year at NEXT Venture Pitch 2020.
 
We are looking for an experienced, curious and enthusiastic Executive Assistant to join our team in supporting two members of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).
 
Overview of the Role
 
You’ll directly support the Head of Product and the VP of Marketing, while reporting in to the Head of Product. As both are on the ELT, you will also work closely with the EA to the CEO. We’re looking for an assistant who is ready to be a strategic thought partner, gatekeeper, and go-to person for the executive team.
While we have a small office space in Greenville, SC, we have been a remote-first company from the start. We are looking for a contract assistant to work with us 35-40 hours/week with the opportunity to grow into a full time employee in the future. The assistant would need to be generally available during normal ET business hours.&nbsp;
