Artie

Executive Assistant / Office Manager

San Francisco, US Full-time

About Artie

Artie is a real-time streaming platform that moves production data across systems in real time, with zero maintenance. We make high-volume data replication simple, reliable, and scalable for engineering teams.

Our platform powers mission-critical use cases including fraud and risk monitoring, inventory visibility, customer-facing analytics, and AI workloads. Artie is built for engineers who care about performance, reliability, and operational simplicity — and we’re growing fast.‍

We’re trusted by teams like ClickUp, Substack, and Alloy, and backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Pathlight Ventures, and the founders of Dropbox and Mode.

About the Role

We’re hiring our first Office Manager / Executive Assistant to help scale Artie’s operating engine.

This is not a “keep the lights on” role. You’ll build the systems that keep the company running. You’ll partner directly with founders, influence how we operate day-to-day, and set the standard for operational excellence as we grow.

You’ll be the connective tissue across the company — ensuring our office runs smoothly, our executives are focused on the highest-leverage work, and our team has what they need to perform at a high level.

What you’ll do

  • Own executive support end-to-end
    • Manage complex calendars across founders and leadership
    • Prioritize ruthlessly — protecting time for deep work, strategic thinking, and recruiting
    • Coordinate meetings, investor updates, offsites, and executive travel
    • Draft, proofread, and manage sensitive communications with precision and discretion
    • Anticipate needs before they surface
  • Build the operating backbone of the office
    • Run day-to-day office operations for our SF headquarters
    • Manage vendors, leases, facilities, IT coordination, and office logistics
    • Own budget tracking for office and administrative expenses
    • Create systems for onboarding, workspace setup, and team support
  • Drive internal coordination & execution
    • Ensure meetings are purposeful, well-prepared, and action-oriented
    • Track follow-ups and drive accountability across teams
    • Support recruiting coordination and candidate experience
    • Help plan company events, team offsites, and culture-building initiatives
  • Create scalable processes
    • Build repeatable systems for scheduling, documentation, travel, onboarding, and vendor management
    • Identify operational gaps and proactively fix them
    • Bring structure to ambiguity in a fast-moving startup environment
  • Be a culture carrier
    • Help make our office a place people are excited to show up to
    • Maintain high standards for organization, hospitality, and detail
    • Support an in-person, high-performance environment

What we’re looking for

  • Executive support mastery:
    • 2-4+ years supporting senior executives or founders in fast-paced environments
    • Experience managing complex, high-volume calendars and shifting priorities
    • Comfortable handling confidential information with maturity and discretion
    • Proven ability to operate independently without constant direction
  • Operational excellence:
    • Strong systems thinker — you bring order to chaos
    • Exceptional attention to detail (nothing slips through the cracks)
    • Experience managing vendors, facilities, or office operations
    • Comfortable owning budgets and tracking expenses
  • Extreme ownership:
    • Never drop the ball — internally or externally
    • Anticipates problems and solves them before they escalate
    • Takes pride in making things run seamlessly
  • High agency & adaptability:
    • Thrives in ambiguity and rapid change
    • Comfortable switching from strategic planning to hands-on execution
    • Willing to do what it takes — from board prep to moving furniture before an all-hands
  • Strong communicator & collaborator:
    • Clear, concise written and verbal communication
    • Able to work across founders, engineers, investors, and external partners
    • Knows when to escalate and when to decide independently
  • In-person presence:
    • Excited to work 5 days/week from our SF office
    • Enjoys being at the center of team energy and culture

What you’ll get

  • A Seat at the Table: Work directly with founders and leadership with real visibility into company strategy.
  • Company-Wide Impact: Shape how Artie operates internally as we scale.
  • High Leverage Exposure: Develop deep context across GTM, recruiting, and operations.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $80-120K base salary depending on experience
  • Equity: meaningful early-stage equity grant
  • Healthcare, 401(k), unlimited PTO
  • Lunch & dinner provided
