Executive/Personal Assistant to CEO

At Vessel, we are committed to addressing one of the world’s most pressing challenges—the global housing crisis. In 2024, we introduced the V1, a revolutionary solution that redefines affordable living. Beautifully designed, brilliantly engineered, sustainable, and built with health in mind, the V1 makes high-quality housing accessible to those who earn too much for subsidized housing but too little for market-rate options. We are backed by leading venture capitalists, such as Mosaic Ventures, and by the nation's preeminent homebuilder, Lennar, Inc. 

Vessel is growing rapidly, with scores of projects in planning, and we’re looking for an exceptional Executive/Personal Assistant to join our team.   

This isn’t a passive, “take notes and follow directions” type of role. We’re looking for someone energized by being two steps ahead: suggesting changes to the calendar, flagging scheduling conflicts before they become problems, preparing agendas before meetings, and ensuring the CEO is always where he needs to be with what he needs to succeed. 

• Manage and optimize the CEO’s complex, fast-moving calendar - proactively identify scheduling conflicts or inefficiencies and suggest thoughtful alternatives

• Take initiative to support the CEO’s personal needs (e.g., travel coordination) with care and anticipation  
• Maintain a pulse on internal and external meetings, ensuring priorities are aligned and time is protected  
• Communicate with clarity and professionalism on behalf of the CEO, both internally and externally  
• Bring structure and calm to a high-velocity, constantly evolving environment  

• Bachelor’s degree and 4+ years of experience as an Executive or Personal Assistant supporting a founder in a fast-paced startup environment  
• Proven ability to manage complex, high-volume calendars and proactively solve logistical challenges  
• Strong written communication skills with experience preparing agendas, meeting recaps, and action-oriented follow-ups  
• Demonstrated intellectual agility and proactive instincts; consistently anticipates needs and acts with minimal direction  
• Takes initiative with confidence and exercises sound judgment while maintaininga high level of discretion  
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and offering thoughtful suggestions in evolving situations  
• Quick to learn new context, adapt to changing priorities, and stay aligned with strategic objectives  
• High emotional intelligence, professionalism, and the ability to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels 

• Bonus Eligible 
• Health Plans (Medical, Dental, and Vision), including HSA/FSA options 
• Life, AD&D, and Disability Insurance, plus Critical Illness and Accident Insurance 
• Adoption Assistance, Caregiver Support, and Financial Assistance through Employee Support Programs 
• Team-building events and activities, including social hours and celebrations 
• Commuter Benefits
