About This Role:

We're looking for a full-time Executive Assistant to join our Executive Assistant team. You'll report to the Senior Manager, Talent Development.

In this role, you’ll play a key role in maximizing the effectiveness and impact of Gainsight’s CEO by ensuring seamless day-to-day operations, proactively managing priorities, and serving as a trusted partner. You’ll anticipate needs, navigate competing priorities, and create the structure that allows the CEO to remain focused on Gainsight’s highest-impact business initiatives. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, global, and constantly evolving environment and enjoys working cross-functionally. The ideal candidate brings exceptional skills in executive partnership, complex calendar and travel management, prioritization, and operational execution. This role is hybrid with the expectation that you will be on-site whenever the CEO is present. However, there is flexibility to work from home when they are traveling or out of the office.

What You'll Do:

- Manage the CEO's time and priorities, keeping the calendar aligned to the highest-value business priorities and proactively resolving conflicts.
- Own seamless operational execution — travel, expenses, meetings, logistics, and follow-ups completed accurately, proactively, and on time.
- Keep the CEO prepared and supported, ensuring the right context, materials, and information are in hand ahead of key meetings and decisions.
- Build strong, trusted relationships across the Executive Leadership Team, Board, customers, partners, and key internal stakeholders.
- Continuously improve processes, including thoughtful use of AI and technology to reduce administrative burden and boost productivity.

This role may require occasional travel (up to 30%) for leadership meetings, company events, or other business needs. This is not a complete list of responsibilities, and the scope of the role may evolve with the needs of the CEO and business.

What We're Looking For:

- Must be located in the Bay area
- 10+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, including 3-5 years of experience directly supporting a CEO, ideally within a fast-paced, global organization.
- Demonstrated ability to operate as a trusted partner to a CEO, with exceptional judgment, discretion, anticipation, and the ability to understand and prioritize business needs.
- Expert-level experience managing highly complex executive calendars, including multiple time zones, shifting priorities, and high-volume internal and external engagements.
- Extensive experience coordinating complex domestic and international travel, including last-minute changes, visas, detailed itineraries, and executive-level logistics.
- Strong experience managing executive expenses with exceptional accuracy, organization, and attention to detail.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to confidently interact with senior executives, Board members, customers, partners, and teammates at all levels.
- Exceptional follow-through, organization, prioritization, and attention to detail, with a strong sense of urgency and the ability to remain composed when priorities shift.
- Highly professional and polished, with demonstrated experience handling confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
- Leverages AI and emerging technology to enhance day-to-day effectiveness, streamline administrative workflows, improve meeting preparation and follow-up, organize information, draft communications, and identify opportunities to save time and operate more efficiently.

Nice-to-have skills or experience:

- Experience supporting a CEO within a SaaS, technology, or private equity-backed organization.
