Company mission
To build a new operating system for global logistics.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience
- Prior experience supporting a founder, CEO, or other executive with a high daily meeting volume
- A track record of closing open loops without being asked twice. You treat scheduling as an owned outcome, not administrative throughput
- Sharp attention to detail with calendars, time zones, and travel logistics, especially under volume
- Comfortable making judgment calls about competing priorities and protecting an executive's time
- Experience coordinating complex, multi-leg travel, including handling changes and cancellations in real time
- Able to work in person in Pallet's San Francisco office five days a week
What the job involves
- Pallet's CEO runs 8–12 meetings a day, manages several direct reports, and is constantly moving between customers, investors, and the team.
- We're looking for an Executive Assistant who gives him real leverage: someone who owns his calendar, inbox, and follow-through so nothing that matters ever falls through the cracks.
- You'll sit close to the center of the company, see how every major initiative gets built, and be trusted with real judgment calls, not just logistics
- Own Sushanth's calendar end-to-end: strategic weekly planning, not just reactive scheduling
- Manage and triage his inbox, drafting responses and closing loops on his behalf
- Book and manage complex domestic and international travel, including live re-routing when plans change
- Chase customer, candidate, and investor threads to a confirmed close. Nothing sits unanswered
- Prepare meeting materials and pre-reads for external meetings and board sessions
- Take on discrete strategic projects directly for the CEO as they come up
Application process
- Chat with Sophia, Recruiting, 30 mins (includes a short live scheduling exercise)
- Chat with Austin, previous Chief of Staff, 30 mins
- Case study: take-home exercise, roughly 2 hours of effort, reviewed with Grace, Head of Talent
- Final Interview with Sushanth (CEO) and team, in person, ~2 hours
- Reference checks
- We move fast, and we’ll keep you informed at every stage of the process
Our take
Bringing the power of AI to logistics, Pallet supplies an all-in-one platform that combines transportation and warehouse management. This union of TMS (transportation management system) and WMS (warehouse management system) software in one place makes for a valuable asset for organisations that are seeking to supercharge efficiency.
By collecting everything in one place, Pallet ensures that it stands out from less broad offerings - delivering order entry, dispatch, warehousing, billing, customer communication and more. Clients are able to put all their teams on one platform and automate many of their most time-consuming tasks with the help of AI.
With a long list of customers including teams at SpaceX, Google and Apple, it is clear that Pallet has made a space for itself in the market. The company raised substantial funding in 2025, in a round led by General Catalyst, which is being used to grow its team and operations in line with surging demand for its product.
