Executive Assistant

The Role
This is a high-impact, high-visibility role supporting Farsight’s CEO, CTO, and COO directly. You will be the operational backbone that keeps the founding team focused, organized, and moving fast.

This is not a passive scheduling role. The right person for this position takes ownership, anticipates needs before they arise, and takes genuine pride in making the people around them maximally effective. You will be trusted with sensitive information, high-stakes communications, and the day-to-day operational rhythm of a fast-moving Series A startup!

As Farsight grows, your scope will grow with it. In addition to core executive support, you will contribute to recruiting coordination, and office management as the team scales.

We are based in Manhattan, New York City and are in-person 4 days a week (Fridays remote).
