About the Role This is a high-trust, multi-function role that supports the CEO, and potentially over time, other members of the Executive team. This role will support the CEO across three distinct pillars: Executive Coordination, Finance + Excel, and Product Content/Community.

The Three Pillars of This Role The connective tissue of the CEO’s day-to-day — keeping communication moving, schedules clean, and nothing left unresolved. This pillar embodies your typical ‘Executive Assistant’ responsibilities.

You won’t be asked to perform advanced financial modeling, develop complex formulas or pivot tables; you’ll be asked to follow clearly documented systems/process. No accounting or modeling, but accurate, consistent and on time. Maintain + update various performance spreadsheets, including Sales and Marketing-related trackers. Contribute to and help assemble portions of the monthly CEO/Finance Report and Consolidated Balance Sheet Prepare a CEO Weekly Digest / Enterprise Review — aggregating key business snapshots and weekly highlights Collect, package and provide documents to banks and other stakeholders monthly Process quarterly estimated tax payments with direction from the CEO Maintain and action on various schedules (including R&D schedule, CEO salary schedule, etc.) Complete and submit Loan Covenant Reports monthly Obtain + populate daily reports/trackers, such as daily Cash Position. Pillar 3 | Content + Community LexWorkplace is one of our core products. This pillar involves writing that is instructional and product-adjacent (not marketing copy). Write simple Release Notes for new LexWorkplace features/updates Write simple how-to (KB) articles and help documentation for LexWorkplace users Monitor and respond to public customer feedback (Canny.io) and LexWorkplace user community Provide monthly product management support, including regular product/customer emails The EA will be provided with a liberal amount of guidance and direction on what and how to write for release notes, KB articles and client‑facing emails/newsletters.

Required Qualities Comfortable and competent in Excel — structured data, repeatable formatting, basic formulas; no advanced modeling required A clear, confident writer who works well with AI tools; can produce instructional content that is accurate and readable Highly organized with strong attention to detail — nothing slips though the cracks Proactive and self‑directed — able to identify what needs to happen next without being told (over time) Discreet and trustworthy — this role carries access to sensitive business and financial information Comfortable with variety — no two weeks look exactly alike, and that’s a feature, not a bug Our Tech Stack (Bonus if Familiar, but Not Required) Microsoft 365 (email, productivity) Airtable QuickBooks We leverage EOS (from the book Traction) as our Business Operating System. Familiarity with this system is a bonus, but not required (the person hired for this role will be taught EOS as needed).
