We’re leading the way in redefining the workwear category. Our mission is to engineer better boots and apparel for our country’s tradesmen and women by working directly with real workers to learn what they actually need to execute their jobs.
The BRUNT team is not only devoted to improving on the old workwear standards, but we’re also creating a community that tradesmen and women can call their own. From our weekly hangouts at the BRUNT Garage, to hosting events across the country, we’re all about getting boots on the ground and building something real with the BRUNT crew.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
We are seeking an accomplished, proactive, and exceptionally organized Senior Executive Assistant to serve as a key operational partner and strategic extension to our CEO & Founder. This high-impact role goes beyond traditional administrative support; you will act as an effective filter for priorities, communication proxy, and operational anchor, ensuring the CEO’s time, energy, and strategic focus are fully optimized.
The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, possesses sound judgment under pressure, maintains unwavering discretion, and constantly operates with a "three-steps-ahead" mindset.
HOW YOU’LL DO IT
Executive & Strategic Calendar Management
- Orchestrate complex scheduling across multiple time zones. Prioritize strategic engagements, audit calendar efficiency, and aggressively protect time blocks for deep work and high-value decisions.
- Prepare comprehensive daily briefings, background profiles, and agenda materials prior to internal/external meetings, board presentations, and leadership summits.
- Actively manage the flow of the CEO's day, keeping meetings strictly on time, managing transitions smoothly, and communicating preemptively with upcoming attendees when delays occur.
Logistics & Travel Coordination
- Design and execute detailed, end-to-end travel itineraries (domestic/international), including ground transport, accommodations, visa arrangements, and real-time contingency planning.
- Lead logistics for board meetings, leadership retreats, company all-hands, and high-profile investor or client dinners.
Communications & Stakeholder Relations
- Manage, filter, and prioritize incoming communications (emails, requests, inquiries). Draft correspondence, memos, and external communications that flawlessly mirror the CEO’s voice and tone.
- Serve as the polished primary point of contact for board members, investors, key clients, and internal teams balancing high accessibility with protective boundary-setting.
Cross-Functional & Personal Logistics
- Partner closely with executive leadership (CFO, Chief of Staff, Chief People Officer) to assist with logistics on cross-departmental initiatives and special projects.
- Direct 75% of operational support toward high-priority business initiatives, while dedicating 25% to managing select personal logistics, vendor coordination, and family travel to preserve the CEO’s core bandwidth.
WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
- 5+ years of experience supporting C-level executives (preferably a CEO/Founder) in a fast-paced, high-growth, corporate, or private equity environment.
- Mastery of Google Workspace and Slack, alongside practical experience utilizing AI tools to accelerate workflows.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to synthesize complex topics into concise briefings.
- Track record of resolving complex operational and logistical bottlenecks independently with minimal guidance.
- Uncompromising integrity and absolute confidentiality regarding sensitive financial, strategic, and personal information.
- Calm execution under pressure, diplomatic boundary-setting, and strong interpersonal presence.
- Understanding that supporting an active Founder/CEO requires remaining accessible outside standard hours to handle unexpected, time-sensitive issues as they pop up.
