What the job involves

- As the Executive Assistant to our CPO, you’ll be a strategic and operational partner — not just managing logistics, but helping him stay focused, prepared, and connected to what matters most. You’ll work at the intersection of company-wide priorities and functional execution, gaining exposure to executive-level strategy and decision-making
- As an Executive Assistant to our CPO, you will:
- Own and optimize the daily workflow by managing a complex and dynamic calendar, coordinating travel logistics, organizing the inbox, submitting expenses, and ensuring seamless day-to-day execution
- Design and maintain systems that foster clarity and efficiency, including streamlined Coda docs, polished Google Slides decks, and team communications that align stakeholders and drive momentum
- Partner closely with the CPO to prepare for key internal meetings by drafting talking points, curating briefing materials, and ensuring he’s equipped to engage with insight and confidence
- Track and manage cross-functional action items to ensure follow-ups are completed and nothing slips through the cracks. Keep initiatives moving forward with thoughtful attention to detail and accountability
- Provide support to the broader leadership team, stepping in to assist with projects, meetings, or org-wide initiatives that benefit from your logistical or strategic support
- Help the CPO stay connected with his team by identifying and facilitating moments of recognition, celebration, and personal connection — reinforcing a strong, engaged team culture

Our take
From professional writing to everyday correspondence, effective communication is critical. Grammarly is an AI-powered writing assistant that helps people write clearly and without mistakes, checking spelling, grammar, and other potential pitfalls.
Grammarly was originally launched as a subscription service for students, although the platform has moved into the mainstream in the last decade. It went freemium in 2015 and now works across more than 500,000 applications and websites including email clients, enterprise software, and word processors. Paid tiers give users more tools beyond grammar and spelling checks to include things like word choice, sentence rewrites, tone adjustments, fluency, and formality level.
The company has been profitable since the beginning and now has a valuation of more than $13 billion, placing it among the 10 most valuable startups in the US. The AI writing assistant space is heating up, and Grammarly is hoping to defend its positions against offerings including Scalenut, Ginger and Microsoft's Editor by the release of its SDK, making it far easier to integrate Grammarly into other applications. So far this has been used in over 4,000 products and earned excellent ratings and increased user numbers of Grammarly's service.
