ABOUT US

Join Our Team:

TrendKite is transforming the way the world views earned media - and we’re making life better for PR professionals in the process. Our platform harnesses big data and analytics to easily measure the impact news coverage has on a brand’s reputation, website traffic, and business goals. As a venture backed, high traction startup, we’re disrupting a huge existing market while helping companies like Google, Nike, Delta, and hundreds more turn PR coverage into real business impact.

Are you ahead of the curve with a plan B, C, and D in every situation? Can you unlock a challenging calendar as quickly as a Rubix cube world champ? Are you so detail-oriented that we need a microscope to get on your level? Great! We’re looking for an extremely proactive, thoughtful, detailed Executive Assistant to join our team, reporting directly to our CEO.

Our Culture:

The TrendKite team is smart, passionate, and loves the hands-on hard work it takes to build a great company. As a company, we work hard, play hard, and do everything we can to make our customers wildly successful. We're a motivated group with a passion for start-ups and the wild but rewarding ride they entail. Enjoy doing stuff outside of the office? Us too! We celebrate our successes outside of work and take care of our people with solid benefits. 
THE ROLE

What you'll do at TrendKite:

• Surpass the organizational level of our SUPER organized CEO by meticulously managing his calendar with ease
• Proactively think through logistics of CEO’s daily/weekly calendar items and ensure it runs as smoothly as possible with the confidence to interrupt meetings in progress in order to help him adhere to his daily schedule
• Respond in a timely manner with poise to those you’re interacting with over phone and email. Asked to schedule a meeting and didn’t hear back? You never forget to follow up.
• Broad variety of administrative tasks, including: managing complex appointments; arranging detailed travel plans (with a backup plan should they change), itineraries, and agendas; and completing expense reports.
• Review and screen communications, and make independent decisions regarding levels of priority- you must be able to discern what is of high and low priority and react accordingly
• Successful planning and execution of board of directors meetings and executive off-sites

What you MUST bring to the table:

• Hyper organizational skills that reflect ability to perform and prioritize multiple tasks with ease
• Heavy calendar management capability with scheduling expertise with superb attention to detail
• Tech savvy: Ability to quickly learn and use a variety of web-based systems as well as Gmail, Google Calendar and GoogleApps (note: you’ll be working on a Mac)
• Own outcomes, not tasks: you’re able to see the bigger picture and resourcefully see projects through with a keen eye on the end goal
• Ability to also be extremely effective independently and make smart decisions when the CEO is unavailable
• Tactical problem solving with the ability to quickly think on your feet to meet deadlines effectively and prioritize levels of importance
• Proven ability to handle confidential information with discretion, be adaptable to various competing demands, and demonstrate a high-level and professional response
• Forward looking thinker, who actively seeks opportunities and proposes solutions
• Stellar communication skills both written and verbal

Bonus if you have: 

• Bachelor’s Degree
• Experience using Asana and/or MindMeister
• Experience supporting a CEO or President, or other C-Level Executives, preferably in a high-growth startup
