Role
Who you are
- Be a team player and understand that your success is based on how much you can take off the plate of our CEO to enable her to be as effective as possible. You'll need to embrace that fact that you will not have a clearly-defined scope of responsibility and will need to take up any and all tasks that come up
- Ability to learn quickly - there is no specific background we're looking for other than demonstrated ability to make sense of a barrage of information

- Diplomacy - you must know how to communicate externally with potential recruits, customers, prospects
- Writing ability - you must be able to quickly write professional communications and content directed at education leaders such as superintendents, chief academic officers, and state department of education staff, proposals
- Extreme attention to detail - in order to take on more important projects, you must prove that you are able to be responsible for the quality of your work
- Project management skills - not just using tools like Asana, Jira, Trello, etc, but your ability to think clearly about how breakdown complex projects into tractable steps and ensure that they get done
- Administrative assistance - know how to make things easier for leaders, be able to handle things like scheduling important meetings, coordinating travel, managing a calendar
- You must be detail-oriented
- Willingness to learn
- Enjoy fast paced, high pressure environments
- A clear and effective communicator
- Eager to contribute and love startups
What the job involves
- As our startup scales, we are looking to hire an Executive Assistant to assist our founder and CEO (a Forbes 30 Under 30 Honoree and 30U30 board member) with a range of different initiatives
- This opportunity is for someone with big ambitions, who is really looking for a role that will challenge them and force them to grow
- You have the unique opportunity to work alongside the founder of a fast-growing SaaS startup and learn the ropes
Our take
SchooLinks provides a framework to help students figure out what careers might suit them - and how to get there - through a multitude of features from personality tests to financial aid calculators.
Founded in 2014, the company has grown its market position over the years, as it continues to develop and improve its features and integrations. For example, a partnership with Common App enabled students using SchoolLinks to directly apply to over 900 higher education institutions.
SchooLink's history of growth, coupled with substantial funding, has enabled it to solidify its place within the market. A brand refresh in 2025 saw the company focus on smart design that anticipates user journeys, enhancing the user experience on top of revitalizing its image.
