As Marqeta's Executive Business Partner to our Chief Technology Officer (CTO), you will provide steady, reliable support to our dynamic CTO in a fast-paced environment. You'll leverage your exceptional organizational skills, resilience, and composure to navigate shifting priorities with ease. Operating behind the scenes, you'll serve as a proactive, detail-oriented, and unflappable partner who takes pride in ensuring seamless operations and anticipating needs before they arise.
While we work Flexible First, this role requires in-person presence at our Oakland office every Tuesday, with additional in-office days as needed for key moments such as Board meetings and leadership team onsites. We'd love for you to join us!
The Impact You'll Have
- Provide primary executive support to the CTO - including calendar management, expense reports, and complex travel arrangements.
- Light administrative support (calendars and expenses) to select members of the CTO leadership team.
- Manage a complex and dynamic calendar, navigating frequent changes and prioritizing meetings with sound judgment.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel with precision - including flights, hotels, ground transport, and dining - ensuring alignment with the CTO’s preferences and standards.
- Prepare and process expense reports accurately and efficiently.
- Handle special projects and logistics such as team off-sites, milestones, and holiday gifts
- Anticipate needs, stay several steps ahead, and respond quickly in a highly fluid environment.
- Manage light operational or finance-related activities such as purchase orders and vendor coordination.
- Be willing to jump in wherever needed - whether that’s coordinating a last-minute meeting, troubleshooting a travel issue, or running out to grab coffee.
- Communicate clearly and professionally across the CTO’s leadership team and cross-functional partners.
- Maintain discretion, professionalism, and a sense of humor - even when things change unexpectedly.
Who You Are
- 5+ years of professional experience in administrative support, with 2+ years of Executive level support (either C-Suite at a similarly-sized firm, or VP+ at a larger company)
