Executive Assistant

### **About Scratch:** Scratch's mission is to build a repayment platform to change the way consumers experience debt. Most of us take on debt to help us get ahead, or in many cases, to not fall behind. But for most of us—despite its necessity—once we have debt, it doesn't play a healthy role in our lives. It can be hard to understand, difficult to manage, and unaccommodating to changes in our lives. This is why we started Scratch. We wanted to reinvent the loan servicing industry, well—from scratch. We wanted to create a world where debt plays a healthier and less taxing role in more people's lives. By bringing world-class product and technical thinking to a multi-trillion industry that hasn't seen innovation in well over two decades, Scratch's platform empowers borrowers to have greater control, visibility and flexibility over their financial health, removing the traditional loan servicer from the equation altogether and bringing borrowers closer to their lenders. Our team is rapidly growing and comes from diverse backgrounds including Dropbox, Pinterest, Prosper, Bloomberg and Ripple. Our office is based in San Francisco. With a rapidly growing community of lenders and borrowers, we think it's time the world knows there's a better way to pay back their loans. We'd love for you to join in our mission and help play a role in changing the way we experience debt for the better! Our team is highly collaborative and works from our SF office 3 days per week - please note that this role requires a **hybrid** work model. ### ​ ### **About the role:** We're looking for an enthusiastic, organized and analytical Executive Assistant to join our growing team.  In this role, you’ll have the unique opportunity to work closely with our CEO and ensure he is set up for success each day.  You’ll anticipate the needs of our CEO, helping him to stay focused and proactively manage his schedule, workflow and priorities.  You’ll possess the strong business judgment and communication skills needed to interact with a variety of people and job functions.  From keeping our leadership team organized to interacting with key stakeholders, the support you will provide will be critical to our company’s continued growth and success. You will: - Manage our CEO’s calendar, and plan and schedule his meetings and appointments - Anticipate and maintain our CEO’s workflow and proactively manage his day to day activities and priorities - Partner with our CEO and the Chief of Staff to drive leadership operations within Scratch, including drafting agendas for leadership meetings, taking notes and managing follow ups (communication, action items, and execution) - Correspond and coordinate with internal and external parties (including customers, investors and other key stakeholders), including drafting emails and other written correspondence on our CEO’s behalf - Book and manage travel arrangements and reservations for the CEO and other leadership team members - Assist on the CEO’s special projects  ​ ### **You may be a good fit if: ** - You have 5+ years of experience as an executive assistant (start-up experience is highly desirable) - You're self-directed, take initiative and are proactive with excellent time management and prioritization skills - You have strong organizational, analytical, and problem solving skills and attention to detail - You're an exceptional written and verbal communicator - You have a strong awareness of maintaining confidentiality and discretion - You have an enthusiastic can-do attitude and excitement about being part of a mission-driven organization in a fast-moving and highly collaborative work environment - You have Google Workspace experience ​ ### **We want you!** If you made it this far, chances are you’re as excited about working to change how people experience debt as we are—and we love that.
