Executive Assistant to the CEO

We're the ~50-person team behind Stable Diffusion, Stable Video Diffusion, and FLUX.1—models with 400M+ downloads. But here's the reality: our CEO & Co-Founder is pulled in dozens of directions daily—investor meetings, technical decisions, speaking engagements, team priorities, international travel. Every minute spent on logistics or email triage is a minute not spent on the strategic work that determines whether we win. Your job is to give them those minutes back.

This isn't a traditional admin role where you follow instructions and manage a calendar. You'll be a strategic partner who enables our CEO to operate at their highest level during a pivotal growth phase. You'll need exceptional judgment to know what deserves their attention and what doesn't, the ability to represent them externally, and the resourcefulness to solve problems they don't even know exist yet.

You'll be the person who:

• Manages a complex, constantly shifting calendar with competing priorities across multiple time zones—making trade-offs about what matters most when everything feels urgent
• Acts as gatekeeper, triaging emails, requests, and meetings to protect the CEO's time for strategic work that only they can do
• Prepares briefing materials and meeting agendas that give context efficiently, ensuring follow-through on commitments without requiring CEO bandwidth to track
• Drafts correspondence and communications on behalf of the CEO that sound like they actually came from them—not generic EA language
• Coordinates speaking engagements, conferences, and panels—managing invitations, logistics, and preparation so the CEO shows up ready
• Handles press inquiries and coordinates with communications teams to manage external narrative
• Manages relationships with key external stakeholders including investors, partners, and industry contacts—being the face of the CEO when direct involvement isn't needed
• Arranges complex international travel (flights, accommodation, ground transportation, visas) that maximizes efficiency and anticipates needs
• Builds detailed travel itineraries that account for time zones, meeting prep, and recovery time—not just back-to-back bookings
• Handles last-minute changes and problem-solves on the fly when plans inevitably shift

• How do you protect the CEO's time for deep strategic work when everything is both urgent and important?
• When should you defer a decision to the CEO versus make the call yourself?
• How do you represent the CEO externally in ways that build relationships rather than create bureaucratic friction?
• What does "good judgment" actually look like when triaging competing priorities in a fast-moving startup?
• How do you anticipate needs in an environment where priorities shift weekly?
• When should you push back on requests versus accommodate them?

These aren't hypothetical—they're judgment calls you'll make daily that compound into whether the CEO can focus on building the company.

You've supported C-level executives in fast-growth environments and developed strong instincts for what matters. You're proactive and resourceful, anticipating needs before being asked and finding solutions independently. You have exceptional judgment and discretion with sensitive information. You're comfortable with ambiguity and rapid change—thriving in environments where the playbook doesn't exist yet.

You likely have:

• 3+ years as an EA supporting C-level executives, ideally in tech or fast-growth startups where things move quickly
• Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities without dropping balls—even when everything feels urgent
• Outstanding written and verbal communication—you can draft emails that sound like they came from the CEO, not a template
• Proactive mindset and resourcefulness—you anticipate needs before being asked and find solutions independently
• Excellent judgment and discretion with sensitive information—you understand what's confidential and what context matters
• Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change—you don't need perfect clarity to move forward effectively
• Proficiency with modern productivity tools (Google Workspace, Slack, etc.)
• Fluency in both German and English

We'd be especially excited if you:

• Have experience managing international travel and multi-timezone coordination at scale
• Have supported technical founders and understand the unique demands of research-driven companies
• Bring experience from AI/ML or deep tech environments where technical context matters

We're not just managing schedules—we're enabling our CEO to focus on the strategic decisions that determine whether we can compete with companies that have 10x our resources. Every minute you save them compounds into better decisions. Every problem you solve proactively prevents future fires. Every external relationship you manage strengthens our position. If that sounds more compelling than traditional EA work, we should talk.

We're based in Europe and value depth over noise, collaboration over hero culture, and honest technical conversations over hype. Our models have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times, but we're still a ~50-person team learning what's possible at the edge of generative AI.
