Executive Assistant to the CEO

AI is changing what people can make, solve, and achieve. At GPC, we help businesses turn that possibility into a better way of working.

We start with people. Their ambitions, their frustrations, and the workarounds they’ve learned to live with. Then we help them imagine what could be different and build something they can actually use. We train teams, help new habits take hold, deploy useful systems, and maintain them as the business evolves.

We call the thinking behind this Applied Imagination: asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and making possibilities tangible. The ambition is to give people more room to think, create, and do meaningful work, with the confidence to keep improving it themselves.

This role keeps that work moving. You’ll make sure the person leading it never drops what matters.

At GPC, we’re building a team of intrapreneurs to reimagine how people work. Our CEO sells, hires, and leads delivery, and he is on site with clients most weeks. Right now his open list has more than 120 items on it, emails wait too long, and people inside and outside the company wait on him. You’ll become his right hand, owning his inbox, calendar, and open loops, and acting for him with the team. This role combines sharp judgment, relentless follow-through, and responsibility for making sure nothing that needs the CEO falls through the cracks.

What you will own

Own the inbox. Every email that reaches the CEO gets an answer from you or a decision from him. Draft and send what you can answer. When only he can answer, reply the same day anyway: “I saw this. Grant will get you an update by end of day.” Then make sure he does. Nobody waits in silence.

Own the calendar. By day 30, know his calendar better than he does. Schedule, move, and protect focus time. Attach the right people, links, locations, and context before every meeting. When a client needs him for delivery work, put the time on his calendar and make sure the work happens in that block.

Run the open loops. Requests reach him through Slack, ClickUp, email, client calls, and dinner. Catch every one, hold it, and bring it back in one organized pass. He decides. You make the decision real across the CRM, the project boards, the team, and the person who has been waiting since Tuesday.

Narrow every question before it reaches him. When someone says we need copywriting, find out why, what it costs, who else it touches, and whether finance has cleared the spend. Bring him one decision instead of five questions.

Act as his proxy with the team. When a project manager or engineer needs the CEO, you answer first. Make sure direction from client calls gets written down and sent. Project managers still own projects and engineers still own the build. You make sure they get what they need from him, and he gets what he needs from them.

Handle travel and logistics before he thinks about them. Flights, hotels, cars, restaurants, and event registrations. See the on-site visit on the calendar and have the trip booked before he asks. The car is at the curb at 3:00, and he has the reminder to pack.

Hold him to his own priorities. Some nights you’ll need to say: “This client falls through the cracks if you don’t do this tonight. It’s on your calendar. Dinner is on the way.” He wants that.

What you bring

You have done this before. You have two or more years supporting a CEO, founder, firm partner, or executive who travels and sells. You can show us a calendar or inbox you took from chaos to control, what you personally did, and why it worked.

You write like a person: short, clear, and warm. You can draft an email in the CEO’s voice that he would send without edits. You chase people politely and you don’t stop. You send the second message, and the third, and then you get on a call.

You notice details before they become problems. The meeting moved but the invite did not. The hotel is twenty minutes from the venue instead of five. You hold ten threads at once without losing one, and you keep your system clear enough that someone else can understand it in thirty seconds.

You’re curious about AI and use it every day. You don’t need to build software, because we have engineers for that. When you do the same task three times by hand, you flag it so we can build a system for it.

What success looks like

The CEO’s inbox is current and nobody waits more than one business day for an answer. He stops booking his own travel and chasing his own follow-ups. Questions arrive narrowed to decisions. The team gets direction from him without having to chase it. By day 60, you know every account he is on as well as he does, and when a client asks “where are we,” you can answer without asking him.

How we will work together

You’ll report to our CEO, Grant Hushek, who owns priorities, budget, staffing, and performance. You’ll get delegate access to his inbox and calendar on day one, plus his voice profile, so you can write as him from week one. The first 30 days are a paid trial against a written scorecard you receive before you start.

Once you pass the 30-day scorecard, you’ll have authority to manage scheduling, logistics, routine email, and internal follow-up without waiting for Grant. Pricing, contracts, payments, and any commitment that binds GPC stay with leadership unless Grant delegates them to you in writing. You’ll sign an NDA and pass a background check before you start.

Location: New Haven, CT.
